Has Leviathan been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled? Leviathan is the latest anime on Netflix, sporting thrills, drama and adventure across its 10 episodes. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more! What is Leviathan about? Based on the novels by Scott Westerfeld, Leviathan is a steampunk anime set in an alternate 1914 at the onset of World War I, where the world is split between two technological superpowers. The Clankers (including Germany and Austria-Hungary) are pit against the Darwinists (like Britain) who engineer living creatures as weapons, including massive flying whales and airships made of bio-engineered beasts. At the heart of the story is Prince Aleksandar 'Alek', the orphaned heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now on the run after his parents' assassination. Meanwhile, Deryn Sharp, a brave Scottish girl, disguises herself as a boy to serve in the British Air Service aboard the living whale-ship Leviathan. Fate throws these two teenagers from opposite sides of the conflict together aboard the Leviathan, where they look set to change history… Has Leviathan been renewed for Season 2? At the time of writing, Leviathan has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Leviathan has had a pretty mixed reaction online from audiences and critics alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. We may be going out on a limb here, but given the recent news about Netflix's impressive anime stats, plus the fact there are two other novels to adapt, this one seems tailor-made for a multi-season arc. Completion rate is also an important point to note here too, and we do know that Netflix examine this closely with any show. It can sometimes take a while for the numbers to be collated though. However, we could be proven wrong here and there may be a massive audience for this one. For now, we'll have to wait and see what happens! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about Leviathan season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem like it could be brought back for more drama and pick up where it left off. If Leviathan does return, expect another 10 episode season and the same style of grandiose adventure and drama from before. Until Netflix makes an official announcement, we'll keep this article updated with any new information. Would you like to see Leviathan return for a second season?
