Picking up where Season 1 left off, the second season of “Carnival Row” finds former inspector Rycroft Philostrate investigating a series of murders in the titular town where humans and creatures coexist, while Vignette Stonemoss and the Black Raven plot payback for the oppression experienced by the creatures. According to the synopsis, “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.’”

Created by René Echevarria and Travis Beacham, the Amazon Prime show is based on Beacham’s film script “A Killing on Carnival Row.” The highly anticipated second season started filming in 2019 after the show’s premiere, but experienced pandemic-related setbacks, having to pause filming twice in 2020 and then again in May of 2021 due to the birth of Orlando Bloom’s child. But, now, Season 2 is finally all set and ready for streaming.
While Season 2 was already greenlit before audiences even had time to form a thought about Season 1, the opposite fate has met Season 2. We can only assume that the pandemic is to blame for the upcoming second season of the fantasy series being the final one. Regardless of the reason, “Carnival Row” will return for its second and final installment on February 17. You can watch the trailer below.
The show stars Bloom alongside Beacham, Cara Delevingne, Brad Van Arragon, Sarah Byrd, Jim Dunn, Sam Ernst, and Wesley Strick.
