Beacon 23 Season 2 was already announced to be in the plans prior to the first installment's initial broadcast. The showrunners disclosed that production for the sequel would commence immediately after wrapping up the first season.
Glen Mazarra, the American producer and writer, known for The Sheild, The Walking Dead, and Damien, will be one of the two executive producers and co-showrunners for Beacon 23 Season 2.
Joy Blake, famed for Outlander, The Passage, and Ghost Whisperer, will also serve as the executive producer and co-showrunner for the sequel. Other executive producers include Zak Penn, Lena Headey, Stephan James, Ira Steven Behr, Tina Thor, Elisa Ellis, and Katie O’Connell Marsh for Boat Rocker Studios.
When will Beacon 23 Season 2 be released
Beacon 23 Season 2 is announced to be released in April 2024 on MGM+, the only streaming platform to license the series. Given that MGM+ isn’t available outside of the U.S., audiences can switch to Amazon Prime Video, which offers a separate content hub offering exclusive movies and TV shows from MGM+.
Like the previous season, it is also expected that the sequel will kick off with a double-header premiere and will boast eight episodes. Although the setting of the series is based on Hugh Howie’s five-part collection, the story is entirely original, which makes it even more challenging to speculate what comes next in Season 2.
The series received mixed reviews from the critics and didn’t actually manage to woo the sci-fi fanatics with its pacing, dialogues, and more. However, Glenn Mazzara, the showrunner for Beacon 23 Season 2 has high hopes for the sequel and expects to do justice to the series.
Here’s what Mazzara had to say in his own words:
“Beacon 23’s Season Two ups the game: more action, more mysteries, more twists, and exciting new characters,” said Mazzara. “It’s a thrill ride. I can’t wait for the audience to see it.”
