The American science fiction TV series “Kindred,” adapted from Octavia E. Butler’s novel of the same title, quickly gained a massive fan following following its debut. Developed by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, the series first aired on December 13, 2022, and swiftly became one of Hulu’s top science fiction shows. However, shortly after its release, fans eagerly began anticipating the renewal of the series. If you’re a Kindred enthusiast seeking the latest updates on its second season, delve into this informative article.
Prospects for Kindred Season 2
Kindred, under the management of the FX network, has officially been canceled. Unfortunately, this decision came after the production house announced that it is meticulous in curating its slate, taking time to develop projects, and ensuring most of its shows endure. In contrast, according to a media outlet, showrunner Brandon Jacobs has preliminary plans for renewing Kindred for a second season. In a December interview with The Hollywood Times, Jacobs shared insights into the show’s future, stating, “The writers and I are diligently working on plans for Season Two. We have extensive plans for Season Two, Season Three, and Season Four… I always encourage people to read the book, but if you don’t want to spoil it for yourself, definitely don’t keep reading. But yes, there are plans for season two. Big dreams.”
Kindred Season 2 Release and Cast
As Kindred has been canceled by its original network, FX Hulu, there are no confirmed release dates for Kindred Season 2. However, showrunner Brandon Jacobs has assured fans that the series will be renewed, with a potential premiere date expected later this year. Although there is no official announcement regarding the Season 2 cast, it is anticipated that the second part will retain a similar cast. The original cast includes:
- Mallori Johnson as Dana James
- Micah Stock as Kevin Franklin
- Ryan Kwanten as Thomas Weylin
- Gayle Rankin as Margaret Weylin
- David Alexander Kaplan as Rufus Weylin
- Austin Smith as Luke
- Sophia Brown as Sarah

Plot for Kindred Season 2
The debut season of Kindred covered the first three chapters of Butler’s novel. Therefore, Season 2 is expected to commence with the novel’s fourth chapter, titled “The Flight.” This chapter follows Dana in modern-day Los Angeles while her husband, Kevin, time-travels to 19th-century Maryland. Season 2 will showcase Dana’s endeavors to save her husband and explore her family’s intricate ties with Rufus Weylin, the child she rescued during her initial trip to the antebellum South.
Kindred Season 2 Trailer and Where to Watch
Despite the unexpected cancellation by its streaming network, Kindred has not released any trailers for its second season. However, there is optimism that the creators are actively seeking another streaming platform. If Kindred secures a new home in early 2024, the Season 2 trailer is expected to be released by the summer of 2024. Details about where to watch Kindred Season 2 remain uncertain, but updates may be forthcoming as the creators explore alternative platforms for the series.
