Since “Dark” made waves on Netflix, European drama series have become a significant trend on the platform. The #1 streamer’s latest offering in this genre, “Billionaire Island,” premiered on September 12 with six episodes available for streaming, and it’s already being hailed as one of the top choices for the latter half of 2024.
The Norwegian show has garnered praise for its unique storyline, which revolves around the salmon-breeding industry. It follows two families, the Langes and the Meyers, who inherit the two leading fishing companies after a major shareholder’s death. As both families vie for control and protect their interests, the production unfolds with a plot filled with scheming, strategy, distrust, and betrayal.
Viewers have binge-watched the title extensively and are eager to know if a second season will be produced and, if so, when it will be released. Here’s everything we know about the future of “Billionaire Island”. (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
‘Billionaire Island’ Season 2 on Netflix: Expected release date
If you’ve watched the ending of “Billionaire Island” Season 1, you know that Netflix seems poised to continue the Norwegian series. But will this intention come to fruition?
In the season finale, Gjert contacts Julie from prison, proposing a deal: she must prove that Trine was responsible for the sabotage at the Marlax enclosures, and in return, Gjert will allow her to take over Meyer Fjordbruk. Julie agrees, setting the stage for a potential second season.
However, the continuation of “Billionaire Island” will depend on its popularity. Netflix has clear metrics and objectives for the series they produce, and if these aren’t met, they can remain incomplete, as seen with “Dead Boy Detectives.” Despite its success and staying in the Netflix Top 10 English TV charts for three weeks, it was canceled after Season 1. Nothing is guaranteed, and all titles are subject to cancellation.
But, if we remain optimistic about the production’s future, we might expect Season 2 of “Billionaire Island” to be released in late 2025 or early 2026, because Netflix typically takes about a year to a year and a half to produce subsequent seasons. We’ll keep you updated with any new developments!
