Will Netflix move forward with Biohackers season 2? If so, when will new episodes release, and what will they be about? The German series released in August 2020 and follows Mia Akerlund (Luna Wedler), a University of Freiburg freshman who attempts to unravel the mysteries of her past, and how they connect to a secret genetics program that modifies human DNA.
Biohackers season 1 on Netflix centers on the educational and professional relationship between Mia and the acclaimed professor Tanja Lorenz (Jessica Schwarz). The storyline begins with Mia impressing Lorenz with her problem-solving abilities, and also her wish to join a private medical research team that includes fellow students Jasper (Adrian Julius Tillmann) and Niklas (Thomas Prenn). Mia later investigates Lorenz's questionable medical practices, and devises a plan to gain valuable intel about a project called Homo Deus. Biohackers season 1 on Netflix was directed by Christian Ditter and Tim Trachte.
The penultimate episode of Biohackers season 1 ends where the series begins, as Mia watches several train passengers (including Niklas) collapse, the result of a red-eyed modified mosquito that spreads "coxsackievirus." She then tracks down Jasper and searches for information that will seemingly expose Lorenz. Here's what to expect for Biohackers season 2 on Netflix.
Biohackers Season 2 Release Date Info
Biohackers season 1 released on August 20, 2020, so Netflix will likely take three to six weeks before announcing if the Netflix Original series will be renewed. The series has received decent reviews, and the science-fiction premise will appeal to a world of locked-down streamers — plus, Biohackers season 1 consists of only six episodes, all of which are much shorter than what the official runtimes imply (the ending credits of each episode are nearly 10 minutes in length). Expect Netflix to greenlight Biohackers season 2 in early October 2020.
Biohackers Season 2 Story Details
Biohackers season 1 on Netflix concludes with Mia escaping authorities and receiving an e-mail from Jasper that contains all of the Homo Deus files. Now, Mia has the necessary information to take down Lorenz, and she reaches out to an associate named Andreas Winter (Benno Fürmann). In a final twist, Winter has both Mia and Lorenz kidnapped, which changed the power dynamics for the second installment.
In Biohackers season 2, Mia will need to compromise. She's savvy enough to outsmart Lorenz, but she'll be confronted with the bigger picture and unknown enemies. Now that Jasper wants to help Mia, he'll presumably be responsible for her inevitable escape in Biohackers season 2. Looking ahead, Netflix will most likely expand the scope of the narrative, and explore Mia's true motivations.
