Sugar: Has the Apple TV+ Detective Show Been Renewed for Season 2?
The first season of Apple TV+’s original detective series, Sugar, premiered on January 21, 2022, and has since received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The show, created by Lee Daniels and writer/director Jim Mickle, follows the story of Detective Sakia Walker (played by Khandi Alexander), a no-nonsense and fiercely dedicated investigator who is tasked with solving a series of gruesome and seemingly unrelated murders in New Orleans.
As the season came to a close, fans of the show were left wondering: will Sugar return for a second season? Unfortunately, the answer is still unclear. Apple TV+ has not officially renewed the show for a second season, leaving fans eagerly awaiting an update.
What’s the Status of Sugar Season 2?
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lee Daniels, the show’s creator, expressed his enthusiasm for continuing the story of Detective Walker and her team. "I would love to do more episodes," he said. "I think we’ve just scratched the surface of what this character can do." However, Daniels also acknowledged that the decision to renew the show ultimately lies with Apple TV+.
Representatives for Apple TV+ have not commented on the status of Sugar’s second season, leaving fans to speculate about the show’s future. Despite the lack of official confirmation, many believe that the show’s strong ratings and critical acclaim will likely lead to a renewal.
Why Sugar Deserves a Second Season
If you haven’t had a chance to watch Sugar yet, it’s definitely worth checking out. The show’s unique blend of crime drama, social commentary, and Southern Gothic atmosphere sets it apart from other detective series. Khandi Alexander’s performance as Detective Walker is particularly noteworthy, bringing depth and nuance to a character that could have easily been one-dimensional.
Additionally, the show’s exploration of themes such as systemic racism, police corruption, and the exploitation of marginalized communities adds depth and complexity to the story. Sugar’s use of music, particularly jazz and blues, also adds a unique layer of atmosphere to the show.
What’s Next for Sugar?
If Apple TV+ does decide to renew Sugar for a second season, fans can expect to see more of Detective Walker and her team as they continue to investigate the dark underbelly of New Orleans. The show’s writers have hinted at exploring more of the city’s rich history and culture, as well as delving deeper into the personal lives of the characters.
In the meantime, fans can keep an eye on Apple TV+’s social media accounts and website for any updates on the show’s status. Here’s hoping that Sugar will return for a second season, and that we’ll get to see more of Detective Walker’s gritty and unflinching brand of justice.
Stay Tuned!
While we wait for an official update on Sugar’s second season, fans can continue to enjoy the show’s first season on Apple TV+. If you haven’t already, be sure to check it out and see what all the fuss is about. With its unique blend of crime drama, social commentary, and Southern Gothic atmosphere, Sugar is a must-watch for fans of the genre.
