According to AppleTV head of programming Matt Cherniss, the show was a “universal hit, capturing the imaginations of viewers and making it a beloved and important part of Apple’s world-class sci-fi series.” We are excited to continue our collaboration with Blake Crouch, our partners at Sony and the rest of the creative team and cast…on a new season that will captivate viewers with multiple blockbusters as we delve deeper into the various mysteries.”

Blake Crouch, creator and writer of the novel the show is based on, added that during the first season, the creative team realized there was “so much more story to tell. We’re only scratching the surface of these characters as they fight to survive and find their way home in a world of mind-bending realities. Thank you to everyone who turned on the first season… you’ve been great to us.”
