THE fate of one of Netflix’s biggest surprise hits has been revealed after bagging a whopping 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Superhero show Supacell, set in South London, became a surprise breakout hit for the streamer after accumulating an eye-watering 25million views in its first month.
It dominated the global top 10 charts for six weeks after becoming a runaway hit in 91 countries.
The show, which stars Tosin Cole, Adelayo Adedayo and Eddie Marsan, follows the lives of five South Londoners who are unified by a family history of sickle cell disease.
The group go on to develop a slew of unexpected superpowers and have to fend off an organisation who has set out to entrap them.
Created by rapper and film producer Rapman, he revealed how he had big plans for the future of the show after it was confirmed that a second series was in the works.
Speaking to Tudum, he said: “I can’t wait for the world to see Supacell, Season 2.”
He added: “I’ve always had it [mapped out] to Season 3. I know how Season 2 ends.
“I’ve got stuff planned for this story. I’ve had this in my head for years, so I’m ready to go.
“Supacell Season 1 is my Batman Begins. It’s a prequel of what they’ll be like. Season 2 is when you really see what they become.
“That future you saw at the end of the pilot in London, that exact future doesn’t exist anymore. They’ve changed everything. It’s going to be interesting when we get into the writers’ room.”
The news that the smash hit would be back was met with huge excitement from fans who were left buzzing to hear that the gritty programme would be making a comeback.
One fan declared: “The best news I’ve heard all day.”
A second went on to say: “Yesssssss I’m so excitedddddd.”
“The whole of South London is buzzing,” beckoned a third.
Whilst a fourth said: “@realrapman PLEASE can we have more than 6 episodes in season 2 and PLEASE don’t make us wait too long!! Thank you in advance!”
The show’s cast also includes Boarders actor Josh Tedeku and rappers Ghetts and Digga D.
The show has yet to confirm a release date with Netflix set to issue updates on the show’s production in due course.
