100 Code is a Scandinavian cop drama show that was released on the WGN network in the United States in 2018. Over the years, many of the show's fans have been wondering whether there is a possibility for it to be renewed for a second season.
However, the show will not be renewed for a second season. For one, the producers and showrunners have made no mention of taking the story forward since the 2018 release. Additionally, the show is based on a German adaptation that originally ran for only 12 episodes before it ended for good. No more plans to go into production for the show have come to light.
In another counterpoint for 100 Code, one of its major cast members has unfortunately passed away. Actor Michael Nyqvist passed away in 2017 after filming the show at the age of 56 due to lung cancer. It is not likely that the storyline will move ahead without Nyqvist's character at the spearhead.

What was the show 100 Code about? Plot explored
The show revolved around Detective Tommy Conley. He traveled to Stockholm to investigate a gruesome series of murders, likely done by a serial killer. The detective noticed a pattern in the killings: young, blonde and blue-eyed women were the victims. Their bodies would be found near water bodies and flower fields each time.
While trying to crack the case, Conley worked with the Swedish investigator Mikael Eklund. The two hated each other deeply while fighting their demons which the other did not know of.
