Here are a few forthcoming original Amazon web series to look forward to if your OTT watchlist is in need of some additions.
Carnival Row Season 2
Carnival Row got inspiration from Neil Gaiman and Mortal Engines. It follows “mythical beings that have left their war-torn country. They got assembled in the city as conflicts arise between locals and the rising immigrant population.” The inquiry into a succession of unsolved killings, power mania, unresolved love, and societal changes are at the core of the drama, eating away at whatever uncomfortable serenity remains.
In the last episode of Season 1, we saw Jonah and Sophie grow more integrated. While attempting to build a new life on Carnival Row, which is home to all weird entities, Vignette and Philo struggle with power. Philo finds himself in this situation when he discovers more about his half-fairy past. Season 2 will also most likely centre on Fae reaching out to Jonah and Sophie. It will almost certainly set off a chain reaction of elation, enchantment, and pleasure.
What happened to Imogen and Agreus after they escaped The Burge will be revealed in Season 2 of Carnival Row. We can anticipate to see all of these mixed thrillers in season 2, as well as the answers to the puzzles.
