Netflix’s 10/10 Superhero Series Is Finally Returning After a 2-Year Wait
Netflix has confirmed that filming on the second season of British superhero drama Supacell has finished, ending a two-year period with little public news about its return. The update matters because the first season was widely praised and left its story open for expansion, while creator Rapman has said he has a planned three-season arc.
The first season follows five ordinary Britons who develop powers connected to sickle cell disease, led by Tosin Cole. It holds a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, according to the article, and its finale established that further superpowered people exist; Rapman has said the next season will become “really, really dark”, with higher emotional stakes. No release date for season two was announced.
- Supacell season two has completed filming.
- The new season will expand its superpowered world.
- Netflix has not announced a release date.

Supacell is a British drama about five people in south London who discover they have unusual abilities. Their powers are linked to sickle cell disease, an inherited condition that mainly affects red blood cells and can cause serious health problems.
The group is brought together by Michael Lasaki, played by Tosin Cole, who is trying to protect the people closest to him. The first series also introduces a secret organisation interested in finding and controlling people with powers.
The programme was created by Rapman, a British filmmaker and writer. Its story combines superhero elements with family life, friendship and the experiences of people living with sickle cell disease.
