Jupiter's Legacy season 2 won't be coming to Netflix

Jupiter's Legacy season 2 doesn't look like it's coming to Netflix.
There’s no launch date for Jupiter’s Legacy season 2, which isn’t surprising as it hasn’t officially been renewed yet.
There may also not be a release date for some time, if more episodes go ahead, based on other Netflix Millarworld productions taking precedence over it. Ahead of season 1’s release on May 7, Millarworld president Mark Millar wrote a Netflix blog post that explained which of his company’s properties were getting developed next.
Currently, there are live-action adaptations of The Magic Order, American Jesus and a new, untitled spy property in the works. Throw in an anime series based on Millarworld’s Super Crooks, and film adaptations of other comics including Empress, Huck and Prodigy, and it’s a busy time for Millar and Netflix.
Jupiter’s Legacy season 2, then, might not go into active development for a while. Assuming it gets renewed, 2022 feels like the earliest we'll likely see the show return.
While Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 hasn’t even been greenlit, Millar has been asked about a follow-up. In an interview with the Scotland Herald, Millar suggested that a second season had been given the go ahead by Netflix and would arrive next year. Additionally, in another chat with ComicBook.com, Millar admitted that he knew what the plan for season 2’s plot was.
"We know where we're going [with season 2], Millar said. “I mean the books are a good template. You know, the books are all sitting there for us, so we have a very rough plan. But we know it all depends on hopefully, not to get too cocky, that the audience responds the way we think they will, but we feel good about it."
There’s no confirmation on which cast members will return, or what new characters may be introduced in Jupiter’s Legacy season 2. Based on season 1, though, we can expect the following to appear:
•Josh Duhamel as Sheldon Sampson/The Utopian
•Leslie Bibb as Grace Kennedy-Sampson/Lady Liberty
•Ben Daniels as Walter Sampson/Brainwave
•Andrew Horton as Brandon Sampson/Paragon
•Elena Kampouris as Chloe Sampson
The major plot thread that season 2 will have to pick up is Walter’s plan to overthrow Sheldon as The Union’s leader. As our season 1 ending explainer article reveals, it’s Walter - aka Brainwave - who created the clone of Blackstar, caused the Hilltop battle that led to the deaths of some up-and-coming superheroes, and caused a rift between Sheldon and his son Brandon throughout season 1’s events.
Why did Walter do this? He believes that The Union aren’t using their superpowers to help make the world a better place. In that sense, Walter isn’t a supervillain per se, but his ideals differ from those of his brother Sheldon.
Ever since The Union obtained their abilities in 1929, Sheldon has coerced them into following his code of conduct - rules that prevent all superheroes from killing their enemies, and from interfering with issues including politics, war and epidemics. Having fought to keep Earth safe for nearly a century, though, Walter doesn’t believe that Sheldon’s code works anymore. He wants Sheldon gone so he can install himself as The Union’s new leader and usher in an era where superpowered people can change the world.
Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 should continue this big plot point and lead to a major shocking moment that occurs early on in the comics. If you really don’t want to know what happens at this juncture, don’t read past the tweet below:

Jupiter's Legacy may be a self-contained story, but it isn't the only one that takes place in the Jupiter's Legacy universe.
Supercrooks is a Millarworld comic miniseries, and tells the tale of small-time crook Johnny Bolt, who recruits the ultimate crew of thieves to pull off one final big heist in Spain.
An anime series based on Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu's comics is currently in the works at Netflix, and Millar recently took to Twitter to hype up the series, even though its release date is currently unknown.
Following that tweet, Millar was also asked to confirm if Supercrooks took place in the same timeline as Jupiter's Legacy - which he promptly did.
Check out Millar's confirmation below:
Yes! Jupiter's is about the heroes, Supercrooks is about the super-villains. https://t.co/Pv4EQPSVAjMay 17, 2021
Not yet, which won’t come as a surprise since a second season hasn't even been confirmed yet.
Yes. Netflix needs its own superhero TV series if it wants to compete with its competitors.
Amazon Prime Video has The Boys and Invincible, while Disney has its slate of recently released and upcoming Marvel projects, including Loki, so Netflix needs a superhero property if it wishes to muscle in on this growing market.
Jupiter’s Legacy season 1 has some missteps, but there’s no reason they can’t be ironed out in season 2. Sheldon and Grace’s deaths are reminiscent of Game of Thrones’ Red Wedding moment, in terms of their shock value, and Jupiter’s Legacy will benefit from showing that on screen at some point in the future.
Until it does, however, Netflix’s adaptation of Millar and Quitley’s comics needs to retain audience interest by other means. Stepping up its action sequences would be a start, while providing backstories to other key characters wouldn’t go amiss. If Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 can build on its intriguing plot points while ironing out season 1’s mistakes, it should have enough about it to earn more time with viewers.
