V Wars Season 2: Renewal & Production Details
Sadly, as of now, there’s no official update on the renewal of V Wars Season 2. Ian Somerhalder and the makers of the show are already prepared to work upon the new season. However, all they lack is a green flag from Netflix. In a recent Instagram video, Somerhalder gave his fans a quick update on the coming installment. He went on to confirm that the series is yet to get a renewal.
However, he urged the fans to watch the series if they haven’t and complete watching if they’re in the middle. He went on to add that if viewers come in to stream the first season, then it will have effects on where, when, and how they’ll make Season 2. Hence, as per the post, the renewal of V Wars Season 2 is highly dependant on the viewership of the debut installment. As of now, Netflix might be analyzing the revenue generated yet and may greenlight the show if it’s good.
On the other hand, the makers of the series seem already prepared to make the second installment. Season 2 is already in pre-productions as creators have begun to select cast members. Hence, the new season may go into productions as soon as Netflix waves a green flag.
New ‘Indian’ Cast Members!
The second outing of V Wars is planning to add two major members to its cast, as of now. According to RadioTimes, Ian Somerhalder revealed that the makers are looking for actors to play the role of two Indian characters. Creators will put together a father and a daughter in the deadly setting of Season 2. Somerhalder has few good things to say about the characters, and we hope they turn out to be as favorable to the premise.
