Tim Healy served as the executive producer for the new MMA docuseries, which focused on stories related to multiple eras of the sport. If renewed, it could possibly be easier for the showrunners to pitch their offers to contributors as they now have a greater idea of how the finished product will turn out.

During his latest appearance on MMA Today, Healy expressed his gratitude for the positive reviews for season one of 'Dark Side of the Cage'. He admitted that there haven't been any formal discussions with VICE TV, but added that the showrunners have discussed what a second season could look like:

"We haven't had any official conversations with the network yet, but VICE is... really happy with the way the show's performed, but also with the way it's been received... So, I feel really good about the prospects for a second season. And yeah, we're hard at work brainstorming and got a bunch of names up on the whiteboard that we're starting to kick around for potential storylines should we be given the opportunity to give it another go."
