Here is everything we know about Inside Job season 2. Netflix has released its first in-house adult animated series—a workplace comedy about a shadow government organization called Cognito, Inc., where every conspiracy theory is real. At the heart of Inside Job's cast of characters is Reagan Ridley (Lizzy Caplan), a socially inept genius who struggles to lead her dysfunctional ragtag workmates and prove herself in the company her father founded, all while aiming for a highly coveted promotion.
In an interview with Inverse, Inside Job creator Shion Takeuchi shared that the show was born from her encounter with the concept of a shadow government. The final product was then crafted with the assistance of writer and voice actor Alex Hirsch, creator of the Disney Channel series Gravity Falls. Only the first among Takeuchi’s slated projects for Netflix, Inside Job displays a marriage of her previous works, including writing credits on Cartoon Network's Regular Show, Disenchantment, and Hirsch's Gravity Falls.
The show has been received with widely positive reviews, with mostly praising its absurd premise, subject, and creative execution of real-world issues. Inside Job is also commended for offering a refreshing take on real-life conspiracy theories that have been circulating for decades now and allowing a new generation of viewers to be aware of their absurdity in a digital age, while simultaneously navigating the complexities of emotions anyone can relate to. With both critics and audiences alike enjoying the new Netflix series, it naturally begs the question: will there be an Inside Job season 2? Here is everything we know so far.
Is Inside Job Season 2 Happening?
Netflix has ordered 20 episodes of Inside Job, as part of Takeuchi’s multiyear deal with the streaming giant. Part one began streaming on October 22, 2021 delivering the first set of 10 episodes, with another 10 guaranteed as of now. Because of how well-received the series is, plus its high-profile cast—which includes Christian Slater, Clark Duke and voice acting legend John DiMaggio—there is a high chance of it being renewed for more seasons later on. However, at this time there is no concrete information, as Inside Job season 2 has not been officially announced. Netflix may follow a similar release schedule as season 1: the show was first in June 2021, a release date was provided in August, and the official trailer dropped in September during the 2021 Netflix TUDUM fan event.
How The Inside Job Season 1 Finale Sets Up Season 2
Inside Job season 1 ends with the reveal that Rand Ridley (Slater), Reagan’s father, has literally tampered with her mind because he wants her to focus on continuing his legacy in Cognito, Inc. Of course, Reagan confronts her father and the ensuing commotion leads to her being removed from the company. In the end, Rand steps up as CEO as the majority shareholder. The Inside Job season 1 cliffhanger offers branches of possibilities for season 2. Being the ambitious genius that she is, Reagan will surely find ways to topple her father’s rule, liberate herself from the pressures of corporate succession, and just make a difference in the world. She might also learn how to better navigate relationships, especially if there are new characters to be introduced in Inside Job season 2.
