Great news for those galactic travellers who are enjoying the adventures of Wim, Fern, KB and Neel as show creators Jon Watts and Chris Ford discuss the potential of a second season, and it’s clear from their words that – dependent on the show reaching the required ‘numbers’ during its Disney Plus roll out – they would be more than ready to return to the show and the characters.
“We 100% have an idea for a second season and know what we would do.
We have a built-in ticking clock of the kids and their age, and by the time we would get production going, we know what age they would be. So, we would be writing towards that. You’ll be growing up with the kids.
It would be something like [a three to four-year time jump] to make sense. We haven’t seen the kids in a while, so it just depends on how tall the kids are. But we wouldn’t do like a Stranger Things thing where we’re like ‘It’s the next day,’ because it won’t be.
“It’s built into it that it would be a bigger time jump forward because it does take so long to get things moving. This isn’t like it would take place the next day because the kids are going to be older. There are so many repercussions. It’s like, you kind of want to catch up later.”
Stay tuned to Fantha for our extensive coverage of the show which includes our weekly Guide, the freshly renamed Making Tracks: Reaction Crew, our team review and new for this season Bone Voyage, where Brian and Paul discuss the show on Good Morning Tatooine every Sunday night at 9.00pm UK time.
