The mystery that unfolded in the Apple TV+ series Sugar will continue with season two. The streaming service approved more episodes of the dark, gritty tale Wednesday. Highlights of the first season include a brilliant performance by Colin Farrell, as well as what was called “one of the greatest plot twists in recent TV history.”
“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace Sugar, and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” said executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg in a press release.
Sugar season 2 won’t be sweet, but it’ll be good
The Apple TV+ series quite consciously harks back to classic detective films like The Night of the Hunter, The Big Sleep, and The Wrong Man. But setting Sugar in colorful Los Angeles draws a stark contrast between those black-and-white movies. The new show is not more cheerful — think more surreal instead.
Season one followed private detective John Sugar (played by Colin Farrell) as he tried to solve the disappearance of a legendary Hollywood producer. There were twists and turns as the story grew murkier and more violent. And, of course, there’s the plot twist that got the internet talking.
Apple’s official teaser description of Sugar season two says:
“After the events of season one, season two will see Sugar back in Los Angeles, taking on another missing persons case as he continues to look for answers surrounding his missing sister.”
Watch it on Apple TV+
There’s no definite word on when new episodes of the neo-noir thriller will debut. But season one started in spring 2024 and wrapped up in early summer, so a return is unlikely before spring 2025.
Those newly interested in Sugar now that season two has been greenlit can catch up on Apple TV+. The entire first season is available now. You can binge it all with no waiting.
Watching comes with a subscription to Apple TV+. The service is $9.99 per month with a seven-day free trial. You can also get it via any tier of the Apple One subscription bundle.
And Apple’s streaming video service also includes much more than dramas like Sugar, of course. There are comedies, science fiction, children’s shows, nature documentaries, etc.
