The wrap marked the conclusion of months of work for both returning and new cast members. Core cast members such as Jess Hong, Benedict Wong, Liam Cunningham, Marlo Kelly, and Ellie de Lange participated in the final days on set. Additionally, several cast members shared behind-the-scenes images from the concluding stages of production. Season 2 is also expanding its roster of directors, with Miguel Sapochnik joining alongside returning director Jeremy Podeswa.

Netflix announced that the new episodes will premiere later this year during its What Next? presentation. Currently, no specific release date has been confirmed according to What’s on Netflix. However, the extensive visual effects suggest that the season is more likely to debut toward the end of the year. Netflix has also released a brief teaser hinting at what’s to come, with a logline stating, “As the alien invasion nears, humanity prepares — on Earth and elsewhere.”

Furthermore, Netflix confirmed that the series will conclude with a third season. Seasons 2 and 3 are planned to be filmed largely back-to-back, with production shifting from England to Hungary after the first season. According to Collider, filming commenced last July and is expected to continue through August 2027, with a break scheduled between the two seasons.

The creative team behind the show previously hinted, “The tone really changes once you get to the second season. It’s much bigger. Things get wilder, and the conflicts become more cosmic.”
