Will Netflix move forward with The Healing Powers of Dude season 2? And if so, what will it be about, and when will it release? Created by Erica Spates and Sam Littenberg-Weisberg, the family-friendly series follows a teenage boy struggling with social anxiety disorder. The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 premiered in January 2020.
In The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 on Netflix, Noah Ferris (Jace Chapman) faces a big challenge when home school ends and he's forced to be social in a new environment, Roosevelt Middle School. For emotional support, he's accompanied by a pet dog named Dude, and befriends two charismatic students named Amara (Sophie Kim) and Simon (Mauricio Lara). Meanwhile, Noah's parents (Thomas Everett Scott, Larisa Oleynik) and sister Embry (Laurel Emory) urge him to attend a big Halloween party hosted by secret crush Valerie (Gabrielle Quinn).
The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 includes plenty of G-rated situational humor thanks to Dude's inner monologues. In contrast, Noah experiences scary and surrealistic visions when dealing with uncomfortable social situations. The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 builds to a big musical event that forces Noah and friends to publicly confront their collective insecurities, one that ends with bad news for the mischievous Dude. Here's everything we expect for The Healing Powers of Dude season 2 on Netflix.
The Healing Powers Of Dude Season 2 Renewal
So far, Netflix hasn't ordered The Healing Powers of Dude season 2. An official renewal or cancellation decision will probably be made by March 1, 2020 - at least if Netflix follows their usual schedule of waiting three to six weeks after releasing full seasons. The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 released in full on January 13, 2020. Netflix's previous family series, Team Kaylie, premiered new episodes in December 2019 and hasn't yet been renewed or cancelled.
The Healing Powers Of Dude Season 2 Release Date Info
If Netflix moves forward with The Healing Powers of Dude season 2, the new episodes will theoretically release in January 2021. However, it's worth noting that Netflix often breaks up family series into two parts, evidenced by recent shows like Prince of Peoria, No Good Nick, and Team Kaylie. Assuming that Netflix keeps the same format, expect The Healing Powers of Dude season 2 to release sometime between January 11-15, 2021.
The Healing Powers Of Dude Season 2 Story Details
In the penultimate episode of The Healing Powers of Dude season 1, Noah vomits during the big Halloween party while his emotional-support dog dances for a crowd, dressed as Chewbacca. Dude is briefly banished ("white-fanged") from the Ferris home, but quickly reunites with a remorseful Noah. At Roosevelt Middle school's E.T.-themed musical production, Noah bravely takes the stage with Amara and Simon, thus ending a low-key feud while taking a giant step forward in terms of his social anxiety.
The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 ends with the cat-loving Principal Meyers (Peter Benson) banning Dude from the school grounds, the result of a flea outbreak and subsequent evidence found on the emotional-support canine. The Healing Powers of Dude season 2 will seemingly further explore the value of a dog like Dude, and why he's needed at Roosevelt Middle School so that Noah can more easily deal with his anxieties. There's also some unresolved conflict to explore in The Healing Powers of Dude season 2 on Netflix, as Amara still doesn't know about Simon's secret crush, which - if not handled appropriately - could be the source of more stress for Noah.
