Netflix is making significant changes in the plot and cast this time. Moreover, the story of the show is taking new turns. As of now, here’s everything we know about the upcoming installment. However, be aware. Major Spoilers Ahead!
Netflix’s sci-fi show takes us to a futuristic San Francisco named Bay City. The series takes place over 360 years later in 2384, where a man’s recalls can be efficiently tampered with and renewed. Topped with amazing special effects and direction, the story of the series gets more and more fascinating with every passing episode. The plot rotates around the phenomenon of an artificial body called a “sleeve” dies, and his or her “stack” can be carried to new bodies. This theoretically indicates that one can live permanently.

Altered Carbon Season 2: Renewal & Production Status

The response to Laeta Kalogridis’ Altered Carbon was pretty huge back around its February 2018 debut. Millions of fans around the globe were demanding a second season. Hence, Netflix had to give them a green flag. It sure made us wait for a while but eventually gave us the renewal by July 2018.
Productions for Altered Carbon Season 2 were stretched until the next year. The new cast members began filming with some of the known faces from Season 1 back in February 2019. Some of them shared pictures from the set in Vancouver. Since the series has to undergo much work related to special effects, it may take time to be back on our Netflix screens.
