In 2019, Amazon Prime Video delivered a dark visual, historical series topped off with a mixed fantasy cocktail, when being supernatural meant being an immigrant striving for existence. The Carnival Row series was highly anticipated due to its eclectic group of artists, which included Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne. 

Despite a sizable fan base and the fact that season 2 was announced before season 1 was even released, we are still waiting for the next season.

Season 1 of Carnival Row is a must-watch fantasy series

We all need a break from reality now and then, and retreating into a fantasy world so different from our own never fails to provide. Carnival Row is based on Travis Beacham’s screenplay A Killing On Carnival Row, which follows a human detective, Rycroft Philostrate (Orlando Bloom), and a fairy, Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne), who rekindles a dangerous affair in a Victorian fantasy world, where the city’s uneasy peace is shattered when a string of murders reveals an unimaginable monster.

The Burgue is the name of the fictional city, which serves as the capital of the Republic of Burger, an independent country. However, there is a rift between humans and magical faeries (fae) who want to live together. While most humans live happily ever after, faeries are exiled from their homeland of Tirnanic, which was overrun by a human empire known as The Pact a few years ago. 

While the Burgue provides a safe haven for faes, horned or winged faeries experience discrimination and are forced to work in a run-down section known as Carnival Row.

The Burgue is tense and egotistical, and interspecies cooperation is frowned upon. That doesn’t stop a few characters from doing whatever and with whoever they want. In one such scenario, Agreus Astrayon (David Gyasi), a rich fan despised by humans in high society, initiates an affair with Imogen Spurnrose, a poor human heiress (Tamzin Merchant). Our primary protagonists, Rycroft (Orlando) and Vignette (Cara), spark their own illicit romance.

Love wins in the face of political unrest and violence, and Carnival Row does a fantastic job of portraying how we humans place our own limitations on love.

Carnival season 2 continues the anticipation

Carnival Row Season 2 is one of Amazon Prime Video’s most eagerly anticipated releases, but with filming concluding on the steampunk fantasy TV series, fans are wondering if it will be released in March 2022. Since the show’s early renewal in 2019, fans have been anticipating the release of the second season, but production has been slowed by the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.

As a result, “Will it be released this month?” is one of the most often requested queries among enthusiasts. According to Amazon Prime Video’s list of planned movies and TV episodes for May 2022, Carnival Row Season 2 will not be released in May 2022.

Carnival Row season 2 filming began in November 2019 in the Czech Republic but was pushed back until March 2020 owing to an unexpected guest, the Covid-19 virus. Filming began when the Czech Republic returned for business in August 2020, but the disasters did not stop there. Because Orlando Bloom was unable to finish the picture due to the birth of his kid in May 2021, production was paused once more, with the film finally completed in September 2021.

We may breathe a sigh of relief that all eight episodes of the upcoming season have been filmed, assuming no reshoots, but when can we expect them to be released? The release date of the show is presently uncertain. Season 1 was published a year after production concluded, however, Season 2 has been in the works for quite some time.

 Now that the epidemic has passed, we’re hoping for at least a thriller and, much better, a Carnival Row season 2 release date.

While fans may have to wait a little longer for Carnival Row Season 2, they can be certain that it will be available in 2022. The series’ filming wrapped last autumn, but post-production is projected to take many months due to a large amount of visual effects necessary.

The first season was released in August three years ago. Restarting the show will be difficult, but the timing may be advantageous. After all, the San Diego Comic-Con is coming up in July. There’s a good chance the series will have a large panel to promote it, bringing it back into the spotlight after all this time.

It is uncertain how Prime Video will release this series. The first season was released in its entirety, although this was standard practice in 2019. Since then, Prime Video has found success with a diversified rollout strategy. To further build anticipation for the second season, a hybrid release format similar to The Boys may be used, with the first three episodes broadcast all at once and the remaining episodes distributed on a regular basis. We’ll find out when we finally get a release date.

While some Amazon Netflix series release new episodes on a weekly basis, more TV shows use a mixed distribution method. Will this be the case with Carnival Row Season 2? We could receive a few episodes at first, then a new episode every week, but will that be the case?

Marc Guggenheim, the show’s first showrunner, did not return for season 2, and Erik Olsson, who previously worked on Daredevil, was picked as the new showrunner. With that in mind, the upcoming season will take a different approach, and we’re excited to see how much bigger and better the Carnival Row world can get. Amazon Prime has a lot planned for us, and a few details are still being worked out, so stay tuned for additional details! We won’t have to wait too long.

However, because fans have been waiting far too long to watch how Rycroft Philostrate (Orlando Bloom) and Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne)’s story unfolds, it’s possible that Amazon may release all of the episodes at once.

There’s no word yet on whether the show will be renewed for a third season, but based on what we’ve seen so far, Season 2 might be the last.
