Although the renewal for Black Summer Season 2 took place in November 2019, it seems the streaming will take some extra time than it was expected earlier. The reason is Covid-19 pandemic.

China’s Wuhan-emerged coronavirus pandemic and its transmutation into a global pandemic brought the entire entertainment industry to a standstill with an unfathomable financial loss. The majority of the entertainment projects had been halted or postponed for indefinite time period. Similarly, Black Summer Season 2 suffered due to the pandemic situation.

Filming of Black Summer Season 1 commenced in July 2018 and wrapped up by the end of September 2018. The filming for Black Summer Season 2 has been pushed back to September 3, 2020. Filming will again take place in Calgary, Canada, as confirmed by the series creator, Karl Schaefer on Twitter.

Although there is no confirmation on the cast for Black Summer Season 2, it is believed that Jaime King as Rose, Justin Chu Cary as Julius James, Christine Lee as Ooh "Sun" Kyungsun, Sal Velez Jr. as William Velez, Kelsey Flower as Lance, Mustafa Alabssi as Ryan to name a few.
