Utopia hasn't been officially renewed by Amazon yet, but series creator Gillian Flynn has confirmed work on season 2 has already started. Utopia season 1 is a remake of the UK series of the same name and follows an elaborate conspiracy theory about the end of the world based on the graphic novel Dystopia, and the sequel Utopia. Utopia season 1 ends with a cliffhanger, with the reveal that Mr. Rabbit is working with Agent Katherine Milner, and Jessica Hyde's father is still alive.
Uncovering the conspiracy theory from the graphic novel Utopia and stopping Dr. Kevin Christie's (John Cusack) plan to distribute vaccines that would sterilize the world's population is only the beginning for Utopia. Utopia season 2 should solve the mysteries that season 1 introduced, such as the identity of Jessica's father and Agent Katherine Milner's role in the global conspiracy.
Although Utopia season 1 was created and written by Gillian Flynn (Sharp Objects, Gone Girl) and is based on the successful UK series written by Dennis Kelly, the future of the show is still uncertain. Amazon will likely wait and see how audiences respond to the show before making a decision on Utopia season 2.
Utopia Season 2 Release Date Info
Amazon has not officially ordered Utopia season 2, but Gillian Flynn confirmed to RadioTimes that she has already started writing season 2, saying, "we already are just dipping into season two. And I've told everyone, the world is open, let's see what we want to do." Since the UK series Utopia had a total of two seasons, and Utopia season 1 ends with a cliffhanger, it's likely that Amazon will order Utopia season 2. Amazon typically renews their shows pretty quickly after they premiere (Hanna season 3 was ordered ten days after Hanna season 2 premiered) and fans of Utopia season 1 should expect to hear renewal news soon.
Utopia Season 2 Story Details
Utopia season 1 ends by revealing Katherine Milner is partners with Mr. Rabbit, also known as Dr. Kevin Christie. Utopia season 2 should explore Milner's part in the conspiracy, and explain the mysterious scars on Jessica Hyde's back. Utopia season 2 should also explore Wilson's new allegiance with Dr. Kevin Christie after taking Becky prisoner, and Ian and Alice's attempt to reconnect with the group after being separated in the Utopia season 1 finale. In addition, the finale of Utopia season 1 hints that Jessica's father is creating a new graphic novel, and the possibilities of a conspiracy in Utopia's sequel could be explored in Utopia season 2.
