When could we expect to see a second season of Bloodhounds on Netflix?
Assuming Bloodhounds is renewed for a second season, we can get a rough idea of when to expect a second season on Netflix.
Filming for the first season reportedly began in Mid-December 2021, and ended by late August 2022. When you include post-production, there were almost eighteen months between the start of filming and the release date.
If the second season was to follow a similar schedule, even if filming was to begin in July 2023, an eighteen-month wait would take us to January 2025.
At the earliest, we expect to see a second season of Bloodhounds on Netflix in Q2 of 2025.
