Netflix has greenlighted Season 2 of Rapman’s hit superhero series, Supacell. The streaming platform made the official announcement via its social platforms on Tuesday. The sophomore chapter comes after the successful six-episode premiere of Season 1 back in June this year.
Supacell revolves around a group of five ordinary-looking black people from South London who unexpectedly develop superpowers and are unified by a family history of sickle cell disease. They decide to stick together and help one another after a secret organisation starts hunting them. We saw Tosin Cole’s Michael Lasaki (a delivery driver with the ability to teleport anywhere) bringing the gang together in the first season.
