Netflix’s “intoxicating” super-powered show Supacell gets exciting new-season update ‘worth wait’

We at Digital Spy loved *Supacell* when it premiered on Netflix last year. So, we’re really thrilled to hear the latest news about season 2!

The show follows a group of Black Londoners who find out they’re all connected by a family history of sickle cell disease, and that this condition somehow gives them superpowers.

This group is on the run from a powerful, hidden government organization and must rely on each other to stay safe. The series stars Tosin Cole (known from *Doctor Who*), Calvin Demba (*Life*), Josh Tedeku (*Boarders*), and Adelayo Adedayo (*The Responder*).

What to Read Next

Rapman, the creator, writer, and director, announced on Instagram that filming for the first episode of season two has started. He shared a photo of the script’s cover and mentioned the cast and crew had their first read-through back in September.

He apologized for the wait and announced that filming for season 2 of *Supacell* is now underway.

” I PROMISE it will be worth the wait.”

We previously noted that British rapper Rapman brings a fresh and unique voice to the superhero genre, immediately evident from the very beginning of the season. It’s a strong, intense, and surprisingly dark introduction that establishes the overall mood of the show.

We observed that Rapman has a knack for tackling many complex social issues within a limited timeframe, addressing each one thoughtfully without it feeling superficial or contrived.

The show is a captivating blend of emotion, suspense, and thrills, as we see how these characters adjust to and react within their newly empowered lives.

Many critics loved the first season, and it currently has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

According to *Variety*, *Supacell* stands out by focusing on what it means for Black individuals to develop superpowers. *IGN* noted that despite being a fantasy show, *Supacell* realistically portrays its characters as ordinary people dealing with everyday financial struggles.

Supacell season 1 can be streamed on Netflix now. Filming for season 2 is under way.

The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
