Sugar gave a new spin to the detective genre and this series has a lot of mystery as well. This Mark Protosevich-created show is headlined by Colin Farrell and follows John Sugar (played by Farrell) who is a detective looking into the disappearance of a girl from a rich family in Los Angeles.
The series premiered on April 5th, 2024 on Apple TV+ and was loved by everyone for bending genres and other things. Since then, demand for Sugar Season 2 has been growing which reached its peak when the maiden season ended.
How Did Sugar Season 1 End?
The final episode of Sugar was called Farewell and it was released on May 17th, 2024 on Apple TV+. It was written by Sam Catlin and Donald Joh while Fernando Meirelles was the director. Olivia Siegel (played by Sydney Chandler) has been saved by Sugar and he is taking him away from where she was held captive. She later meets Melanie while Sugar is thinking about a CD that was made by Ryan Pavitch. He has many questions and believes there are still loops to be solved.
Later, Miller (Paul Schulze) is shot by a cop. Sugar finally goes to visit the Siegel family and while he is driving away, he listens to a portion of the CD that makes him turn around. It is revealed that Henry was also involved in all this. Some alien links show up in the episode later on and Sugar says that he is staying on Earth.
Suddenly, we see the series watch a spaceship going inside it. David Siegel spoke to a criminal who eventually orchestrated the kidnapping of Olivia. The finale also saw the show going through a genre shift from crime and noir to science fiction. This was evident in the final reveal which had alien connections.
Is Sugar Season 2 Happening?
Apple TV+ has not greenlit Sugar Season 2 yet. This is mainly because the finale only dropped on May 17th, 2024 and the makers need time to look into every aspect regarding how much the viewership has been. The ending of the first season leaves open many questions so we can expect another season.
The makers have also said that they would love for Sugar Season 2 to happen so we should be hopeful. Given the warm response of the first season, chances are very high. The second season should have the same cast as the first season including Colin Farrell, Kerby, Amy Ryan, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, and Alex Hernandez as well as James Cromwell.
What To Expect From It?
Sugar Season 2 should start from where the first season ended. The final episode of the prior season touched upon the sister of Sugar and her also being an alien. We don’t know whether she is alive or not and if she is still inhabiting Earth just like Sugar thinks. The case of Olivia is almost resolved but there is still mystery around who actually kidnapped her.
We can expect Sugar Season 2 to answer these questions in a detailed manner. We can also expect the alien angle in the storyline to further expand. Sugar might also jump into another case this time since he is a detective.
The makers have not talked about the release date of Sugar Season 2 but we can make some speculations. If the makers start the production now, the second season might roll out by the end of next year.
But all these are just exceptions and we can only speculate by looking at the earlier format. Since it wasn’t a miniseries, a second season can happen given how well the show has done. We might have to wait for a while for Apple TV+ to reveal any information about it.
Conclusion
Sugar is a very interesting series since it takes the usual detective genre format, and spins it around. Farrell delivers a strong performance and he is complimented by other talented supporting actors. The shift of genre as the series was reaching its ending surprised everyone. Suddenly, aliens were introduced which made the story very interesting.
Sugar Season 2 is very in demand and people want to see what happens in the life of Sugar. His alien roots and his being on earth demand a follow-up season to explore. Viewers are eager to witness new updates on the second season.
