Has Narco-Saints been renewed for season 2?
At the moment, Netflix is yet to divulge any details on whether the show will be picked for a season 2. Normally, Netflix keeps its cards close when it comes to whether a show will be picked or dropped for a new season. However, season 1 of Narco-Saints is doing quite well on the platform. 5 days following its release on September 9th, the show became the third most watched Netflix show worldwide. This is a good indicator that the series has received positive reception and Netflix is likely to renew it. There has been a controversy about the show’s portrayal of Suriname. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Suriname publicly came out to call out the show and announced plans to take legal action. At the moment, we are not sure if this will reflect on Netflix’s decision to renew the show. We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What we know about season 2 so far:
At this point, we are all awaiting the green light from Netflix but fans are already talking about what they would like to see in season 2. Mostly, there have been heavy discussions on social media and viewers are requesting a spin-off following the story of Byeon Ki Tae. If the show is renewed, it is likely that the next season will have at least 6 episodes but unlikely that all the cast from season 1 will be back.
