Prime Video has set a 2023 premiere date for the second – and final – 10-episode season of Carnival Row. The premiere date announcement was accompanied by a super short teaser trailer that gives nothing away.
Honestly, it’s been so long since season one aired that I assumed we’d never get a season two. I was wrong. The first eight-episode season premiered on August 30, 2019, and season two will debut on February 17, 2023.
Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne reprise their roles as Rycroft Philostrate (a.k.a. Philo) and Vignette Stonemoss, respectively. The season two cast also includes Arty Froushan as Jonah Breakspear, Caroline Ford as Sophie Longerbane, Karla Crome as Tourmaline, and Andrew Gower as Ezra. Tamzin Merchant plays Imogen Spurnrose and David Gyasi stars as Agreus Astrayon.
Erik Oleson (Marvel’s Daredevil, The Man in the High Castle) serves as showrunner and executive produces along with Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne, Brad Van Arragon, Sarah Byrd, Jim Dunn, Sam Ernst, Wesley Strick, and Travis Beacham.
The Plot, Courtesy of Prime Video:
In a fantasy world where humans and creatures clash, season Two of Carnival Row picks up with former inspector Rycroft Philostrate a.k.a. Philo investigating a series of gruesome murders stoking social tension. Vignette Stonemoss and the Black Raven plot payback for the unjust oppression inflicted by The Burgue’s human leaders, Jonah Breakspear and Sophie Longerbane. Tourmaline inherits supernatural powers that threaten her fate and the future of The Row. And, after escaping The Burgue and her vengeful brother Ezra, Imogen Spurnrose and her partner Agreus Astrayon encounter a radical new society which upends their plans.
With humans and fae folk divided and freedom on the line, each hero will face impossible dilemmas and soul-defining tests in the epic conclusion of Carnival Row.
