Everything On “The Wild’s” New Season

In December 2020, Amazon surprised many with the new show “The Wilds,” about a group of eight teenage girls who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. Sounds familiar, right? Sure, at first, it feels like the premise of “Lost” or “Lord of the Flies,” but that’s about where the similarities end. Before the crash, the eight girls believed that they were on their way to a program in Hawaii called “Dawn of Eve,” focusing on women empowerment.

The first season focused on the girls and their struggle to survive. The season had 10 episodes and was a huge success for Amazon, quickly earning a season 2 renewal.

Cast

Although Season 1 of “The Wilds” left the fate of some characters in the air, the main cast of season 1 will certainly be returning for Season 2. This includes Sophia Ali as Fatin Jadmani, Shannon Berry as Dot Campbell, Jenna Clause as Martha Blackburn, Reign Edwards as Rachel Reid, Mia Healey as Shelby Goodkind, Helena Howard as Nora Reid, Erana James as Toni Shalifoe, and Sarah Pidgeon as Leah Rilke. The Second Season will also bring trauma psychologist Daniel Faber (David Sullivan), the man who claims he’s an FBI agent, Dean Young (Troy Winbush), and the head of the Dawn of Eve program, Gretchen Klein (Rachel Griffiths).

Plot Summary

The end of Season 1 had some huge revelations setting up the plot for Season 2. While the Twilight of Adam is one of the bigger surprises, another key moment is the reveal that Nora has known about the program and what’s really going on the whole time. Season 1 finale, another girl on the island named Leah figures out the truth about Nora and attempts to confront her. To get her out of the way, Nora leads Leah to an open pit, leaving her in it to either climb out or be rescued by the Dawn of Eden staff.

In the aftermath, they are interviewed by people of “Dawn of Eve,” people hinting that Gretchen’s experiment is far from over. There are small hints here and there that either one or both of them have suffered a dark fate, with Rachel talking about her sister in the past tense and the Dawn of Eve staff looking through Martha’s stuff.

Hopefully, fans of “The Wilds” won’t have to wait too long for some answers. 

Release Date On The Wilds Season 2

Amazon did not make any official announcement for the release of season 2. The production faced a slight delay due to the pandemic, but it was able to start in April 2021.

If everything goes as per schedule, season 2 will have an early 2022 release date.
