Will there be a Those About to Die season 2?

As a lifelong aficionado of historical dramas and someone who has seen more than a few Roman epics, I must say that “Those About to Die” caught my attention from the get-go. The rich tapestry of characters, the intricate plotlines, and the breathtaking recreation of Ancient Rome made it an instant favorite.


***MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE ABOUT TO DIE AHEAD***

In the first season of “Those About to Die,” the Peacock series has immersed viewers in the gory setting of Ancient Rome. With several plotlines unresolved as the season ended, it’s only natural that fans are curious if we can anticipate another season.

As a history enthusiast who has always been captivated by ancient Rome, I can confidently say that the epic TV series “Rome” is a must-watch for anyone interested in this fascinating period of time. Having studied and read extensively about the Roman Empire, I find the portrayal of the corrupt and violent underworld surrounding Rome’s theatrical games during the reign of Emperor Vespasian and his sons to be incredibly accurate and engaging. The series is based on Daniel P Mannix’s 1958 novel and expertly directed by Roland Emmerich, bringing to life a world that I have only previously read about in books.

In the final episode, several remaining characters find themselves in influential roles, setting up an abundance of intrigue and possible misconduct if there’s another season ahead.

Is there a possibility that Another Instalment of “Those About to Die” will be released? Here’s what you should know.

A second season has not been officially confirmed as of yet.

Indeed, it seems that director Emmerich is contemplating another installment, as he’s subtly suggested that a potential second season might delve deeper into the characters’ histories and personal lives.

He shared with Collider during San Diego Comic-Con that they’re considering a plan similar to “The Godfather Part II.” This sequel would not only follow the storyline from where the original 1972 film left off, but also explore the early life of Vito Corleone.

“He went on to say, ‘What’s the next step?’ referring to the fact that ‘Godfather Part I’ was an exceptional film.”

They delved into history to demonstrate its sequence of events leading to him becoming an emperor. Unfortunately, this connection also landed his son in trouble.

During a chat on the Bingeworthy podcast, Emmerich hinted at upcoming ventures and suggested that season 2 is indeed forthcoming.

As a seasoned filmmaker with over a decade of experience under my belt, I find myself at a crossroads with a monumental project that has me second-guessing my next move. On one hand, I’m itching to dive back into the world of “Those About to Die” and bring the second season to life. On the other, there’s a tantalizing film project that’s caught my eye, one that I feel could make a significant impact in the industry.

“It’s puzzling how we’re impacting our Earth… It’s unlike the scenarios in The Day After Tomorrow, but it seems we’re acting rather recklessly, which could be seen as a form of collective ignorance.”

Who could star in a potential Those About to Die season 2?

In a potential second season, it’s likely that all significant characters from the first season would reappear, except for those who suffered unfortunate fates in the initial season. This list includes Titus Flavianus (played by Tom Hughes), Emperor Vespasian (portrayed by Anthony Hopkins), and Andria (played by Eneko Sagardoy). [Spoiler alert!]

In the initial season, characters such as Fonsoa (Pepe Barroso), Scorpus (Dimitri Leonidas), Viggo (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson), Marsus (Rupert Penry-Jones), and Berenice (Lara Wolf) met with sad fates, making their return to our television screens highly improbable.

Cast members who could return for a potential second season include:

  • Iwan Rheon as Tenax
  • Jojo Macari as Domitian Flavianus
  • Sara Martins as Cala
  • Gabriella Pession as Antonia
  • Moe Hashim as Kwame
