When is Defending Jacob Season 2 Releasing?
If you have watched the first season of the show, chances are that you are aware of how progressive the cast of the show is.
With actors like Chris Evans and J.K. Simmons in the cast, one of the main issues that the producers are facing is scheduling conflicts. That said, there have been official announcements made regarding the second season of Defending Jacob.
According to rumors, the show will switch to an anthology format, which means that we are going to be introduced to a new lineup of characters in the next season. The show premiered in April 2020 and while the audience believed that the second season would be released in 2022, we have no official confirmation related to the date yet.
What we do know so far is that if the second season is to happen, it will most likely return to Apple TV+ and will return as a miniseries only.
What is the Expected Plot of Defending Jacob Season 2?
If you have yet to watch the first season of Defending Jacob, we’d recommend you skip this paragraph since it will contain a few spoilers.
As we near the end of Season 1, we witness Jacob and Hope having a very intense conversation. However, right before the Barber family’s planned vacation to Mexico, Jacob disappears, leaving everyone in a state of panic.
We also come to know through Andy that there are chances that Billy was the one who orchestrated and executed the murder of Patz. Filled with rage, we notice Laurie forcing Jacob to get a haircut while she dreads and wonders who the real culprit behind Ben’s death is. A lot of things unfold.
With that being the end of the first season, we can see how abrupt the ending is, so there is hope that the producers and creators will return with a second season sometime soon. As for what will unfold in the next season remains a mystery. It is pretty much impossible to depict what we can expect but chances are that it will take off where the first season ended.
