Will there be a Kaleidoscope season 2?
Will the twisting, turning Netflix series be back for another heist? *WARNING - CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS FOR KALEIDOSCOPE SEASON 1*
2023 has already seen some major hits arrive on Netflix, and one of the most popular has been Kaleidoscope, the heist series where the episodes can be watched in any order.
The show starring Giancarlo Esposito has been devoured by Netflix viewers, watching the episodes in different orders and trying to piece together the event at the heart of it.
The series ends with some major threads and character fates still up in the air, but will there be a second season, and if so, when are viewers likely to see it arrive on Netflix?
Read on for everything you need to know about Kaleidoscope season 2.
Will there be a Kaleidoscope season 2?
It hasn't been confirmed yet whether Kaleidoscope will be back for a second season, but based on the series' popularity (it is still in the Netflix top 10 at the time of writing, almost a month after its debut) we would certainly imagine it is on the cards.
However, there is one thing which potentially suggests a second season won't get made, and that's the show's designation as a "Limited Series", meaning it was designed as one and done.
This of course doesn't mean plans can't change and a second run can't be greenlit, but it does suggest it certainly wasn't the intention at the outset.
We'll keep this page updated as and when we get any further information regarding a potential second season for Kaleidoscope on Netflix.
When would Kaleidoscope season 2 be released?
Without official confirmation that Kaleidoscope will be back for season 2, it's hard to say just it could potentially hit our screens.
However, we'd imagine the absolute earliest we could get new episodes would be in mid to late 2024. We'll keep this page updated if and when a firmer release date or schedule is unveiled.
Kaleidoscope cast - who could be back for season 2?
When it comes to the cast of a potential second season of Kaleidoscope, the roster would almost certainly need a major shake-up, barring some prequel/time-jumping shenanigans. After all, a lot of the crew and the surrounding characters met a sticky end during season 1, including Paz Vega's Ava and Jai Courtney's Bob.
One character whose fate was left up in the air was Leo, real name Ray, as played by Giancarlo Esposito. He was shot in the back at the end of the timeline by an assailant who looks a lot like Roger's son Brad.
However, we never see definitively whether he died of his wounds, meaning there is a case to be made that he could return for season 2.
Here's a list of all the central characters from Kaleidoscope who could theoretically return for a second season:
- Giancarlo Esposito as Leo Pap
- Rufus Sewell as Roger Salas
- Rosaline Elbay as Judy Goodwin
- Tati Gabrielle as Hannah Kim
- Peter Mark Kendall as Stan Loomis
- Soojeong Son as Liz Kim
- John Hans Tester as Stefan Thiele
- Delphi Harrington as Suzanne Grosvenor
- John Yi as Cho-Young Woo
- Bubba Weiler as Samuel Toby
