Prime Video unveils the Carnival Row season 2 trailer. Premiering in August 2019, Carnival Row blends neo-noir and fantasy to tell the story of Philo (Orlando Bloom), a half-blood detective investigating a string of grisly murders. The detective's life is further complicated by his relationship with Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne), a fae who is keeping a secret that threatens to unravel society's already unsteady sense of peace. Even though Carnival Row season 1 was met with mixed reviews from critics, audiences responded positively to the series and closely followed its initial run.
Carnival Row season 2 was renewed in July before the first installment premiered. The new episodes include a significant shift behind the scenes, as series co-creator Travis Beacham exited the neo-noir drama over creative differences in what's described as a mutual decision. Erik Oleson, who previously worked on the Daredevil series and The Man in the High Castle, will serve as showrunner moving forward.
Now, after a long wait, fans finally have a sneak preview of what it will look like when Philo and Vignette return: The Carnival Row season 2 teaser trailer has now been revealed. Consisting of ten episodes and releasing weekly on Prime Video, the upcoming season will premiere on February 17, 2023. It will be available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
What To Expect From Carnival Row Season 2
New plot details shared by Prime Video tease that the final Carnival Row season will pick up with Philo investigating a string of murders that stir up social unrest. While Vignette and the Black Raven plan their revenge against Jonah BreaIkspear (Arty Froushan) and Sophie Longerbane (Caroline Ford) for the injustice they experienced in season 1, Tourmaline (Kara Crome) inherits supernatural powers, threatening both her and The Row's futures. Other stories also await Imogen Spurnrose (Tamzin Merchant) and her partner Agreus Astrayon (David Gyasi). After escaping Imogen's brother Ezra (Andrew Gower), not to mention The Burgue, they find their plans in jeopardy when they encounter a very different society.
News of the Prime Video series ending is undoubtedly disappointing for fans that were hoping for the show to have a lengthier run. However, the tease of what's to come and the extended episode-count promises that audiences will get to spend a little more time with the neo-noir trappings they appreciated back in season 1. The show's new creative team likely won't leave too much unresolved with the knowledge that the fantastical world of Carnival Row will be signing off for good.
