French crime drama Ganglands Season 1 generated enough buzz when it first premiered on streaming giant Netflix, back in September 2021. The series is full of twists, turns, thrills, violence, and high octane action. That is the reason why Ganglands found its audience despite the cacophony created by Squid Game then. Independent data from streaming analytics firm Flixpatrol suggests that Ganglands was viewed for over 54.5 million hours on Netflix in its first 20 days of streaming. That’s some solid viewing numbers!
Fans of the genre have been wondering if Ganglands will return for a Season 2, or will it be canceled like the slew of well-liked shows Netflix keeps canceling every other day. Well, there’s good news for ‘Ganglands’ fans. The show will return on Netflix with a new season. What’s more, Ganglands Season 2 release date on Netflix is close – as close as this Friday, which is February 17. Ain’t that great news for Ganglands’ viewers!
Ganglands Season 2 will pick up from the cliffhanger ending of Ganglands Season 1. Ganglands is a gripping crime drama centred on two criminals – Mehdi, a seasoned robber (Sami Bouajila), and Liana, an apprentice thief (Tracy Gotoas). The show depicts how they get involved in a turf war between drug dealers and law-enforcement, while collaborating in order to save their loved ones.
Now, in Season 2, Mehdi and Liana want to leave Belgium and start a new life, away from the world of crime and violence. But they are pulled back into the drama of the Belgian drug trade again. Soon they find that the only way for them to survive will be to collaborate with former enemies.
Ganglands Season 2 will see the return of creators Hamid Hlioua (La Revolution) and Julien Leclercq (Sentinelle). Returning actors include Sami Bouajila as Mehdi, Tracy Gotoas as Liana, Samuel Jouy as Tony, Nabiha Akkari as Sofia, Salim Kechiouche as Saber, Carlos Schram as Carlos and Geert Van Rampelberg as Chris. Ganglands Season 2 will have six episodes, just like its debut Season 1.
Ganglands Season 2 premieres on Netflix worldwide on February 17. Watch Ganglands Season 1 until then, if you still haven’t.
