Panic Season 2: The Cast, Release Date and Show Details
It’s back! The highly anticipated Season 2 of “Panic” is coming to MTV. This time, the stakes are higher and the twists even more shocking than before – but will you be able to handle it? There’s a lot of information out there about this new season, so let’s break it down for you:
Panic season 2, who is in a cast?
MTV has confirmed the following cast members for Season two: Kathryn Beck, Ashley Rickards, and Brandon Flynn.
Some of your other favorites are returning in different roles, including Riley Smith as Bryce Walker, Jenna Ortega as Alana Acosta-Rodriguez (Alana), Connor Welchman as Liam O’Connor, and Devon Graye as Billie Reed.
And there’s more! Grace Phipps will join the cast this season to play Emma Duvall – a teenage hacker who is targeted by an unknown stalker. Be prepared because she’ll be thrown into some very cool challenges that may just change her life forever. Vanessa Vasquez also joins the cast at one point during Season Two, playing The D.A.
Panic season two release date?
Without a renewal status, it’s difficult to predict a release date for Panic season 2. The pilot was filmed in 2018 before the rest of season 1 was shot in the fall of 2019. Even though production wrapped up before the coronavirus pandemic halted the entertainment industry, it’s likely post-production took longer than expected. Rather than rushing for a 2020 release, Panic was held for 2021. Even if the show were renewed shortly after season 1 hit the streamer, production likely wouldn’t be ready until late 2021 or early 2022. With that timetable, a season 2 release would make sense for the winter 2022-23 season.
What will be the storyline?
With a storyline revolving around cyber-bullying, this is one show that once again hits home with many teens today who have dealt with similar issues but couldn’t find someone they could talk about it with before now. Season One was also based on social media as well as mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety – which only made it more relatable to today’s youth.
What can we expect from panic season two?
A second season would see the return of Matty Silver with his new job at a law firm, Adam and Taylor anxiously waiting for college admissions decisions, along with many other favorite characters. Panic Season Two will also introduce some new faces into their story as well: Gianna, who is fleeing her parents’ abuse; Tristan, an LGBTQ teen whose online following has made him famous but not well-liked by classmates; Christine (who wants to be “the next social media celebrity” like Tristian), and Daphne who falls victim to cyberbullying after she posts photos in support of gay rights.”
The show’s return will be full of some new faces and storylines that focus on today’s social media culture. As a result, the series is certain to resonate with young adults who are struggling with mental health and image issues in their own lives.”
What is the plot?
The show is about a group of high school students who are trying to balance their friendships, family relationships, and social lives in the face of various personal issues. They have all been best friends since they were little kids, but as they enter their senior year at Wellesley High School, things change when one member has a mental breakdown and other return from military service with PTSD. Panic Season Two will follow these six teens through their final semester together while exploring some new twists and turns that our society’s digital culture throws up.”
Panic Season 2 Renewal
At the time of writing, Panic hasn’t been renewed for season 2. Amazon will likely take some time to analyze the viewership and overall interest in the series before deciding on its future. That said, the fact that Panic is based on a popular novel could help in the show’s favor. The story already had a fair amount of established fans, and the fandom likely grew after the show dropped on Amazon Prime. Expect a decision on a second season before the end of the summer.
