Soooo, like, 2027 sometime, when everyone's forgotten what happened in season 1? lolz. :P
To be honest, I would need a recap video NOW to be able to remember everything important that happened. :D
Exactly, it's already been too long.
I wish networks believed in their shows and had a clear vision before starting, then prioritized scheduling their series, so a beginning middle and end happened before the audience forgets everything. Instead of, "lets wait and see the ratings and reviews, and then maybe we'll leave some money to do a second season." So dumb.

The exact release date is currently unknown, but Season 1 premiered on January 15, 2023. A typical big-budget Netflix production takes approximately two and a half to four years from initial development to release. Since Season 2 is still in pre-production, it may be another year and a half before it debuts on the platform. At least.

Yes, so many questions... That's part of the fun. :)
Just finished this. First 4 episodes were excellent, then they took the foot off the gas. As it progressed from there, it became clear that there would be no resolution this series!
I think the characters have all been pretty good, Auggie is perfectly watchable in her underthings :)
However, I don't understand why they are sending a 'human' towards the aliens. I don't understand how a nuclear bomb can accelerate a 'sail', attached to something in tow, the 'wires' and capsule which must also be capable of withstanding said nuclear explosion...300 times). That idea was a non-starter. I can tell you that from watching every single episode of TNG recently.
I also don't understand why if they want to take someone out, they don't just bounce one of those proton thingy's around inside someone's brain to mash it up.
Why don't they create a huge electromagnet to trap the proton thingy, or creat a powerful negative electric charge, using Liam Cunningham as bait. So many questions... :)
It's all been reasonably well done though, shame to lose 'Jack Rooney' so early, but at least the lovely Rosalind Chao (Keiko O'Brian from TNG ) made it to the last ep.
Were Brad Pitt and Rosamunde Pike really involved in this? Ah, just read it's their respective production companies.
Interesting series, hope it's renewed.

@paisley1: The way it was explained, it was plausible to me that they didn't have the option to speed things up.
Yet, to me it was explained away like when a fairy godmother says "if you're not home by midnight you'll turn into a pumpkin", and from that scene on, all I could think about were all the empty planets they could colonize between us and them, and all the spaceships at S12 Tonopah Test Range that could get them here faster. ;)
Scholars believe that 1.5 million to eight million people died in “abnormal deaths” in the decade from 1966 to 1976, while more than 100 million Chinese were affected by the period's upheaval.
Any discussion of the Cultural Revolution, a political movement that Mao Zedong started in 1966 to reassert authority by setting radical youths against those in charge, is heavily censored in China.
It's not surprising that fans of the book may have heard of the Cultural Revolution, but they don't have a concrete idea about the atrocities that the Communist Party and some ordinary Chinese committed. That's why the reactions to the Netflix series are concerning to some Chinese.
Yes, every good dictator likes the population lacking knowledge where it's not "appropriate" - nothing to see (or question) here, folks, move along!

The Netflix series showcases one of the country's most successful works of culture. Instead of demonstrating pride, social media is condemning it.
