Sugar Season Update: Is Season 2 On the Cards?

‘Sugar’ premiered its final episode on May 17, 2024, and fans who have completed the series cannot wait to see what happens next in Apple TV+’s mind-bending tale. 

Created by Mark Protosevich, ‘Sugar’ follows the journal of a private investigator, John Sugar (Colin Farrell). Later, it is revealed that Sugar is an alien who has come on a mission to observe humans and uses his job as a private investigator as a cover-up for his real mission.

Is there a Sugar Season 2 release date?

Unfortunately for the fans, there is no official announcement regarding the renewal of ‘Sugar’ for a second season from Apple TV+ or the show’s producers.

However, the show ends with John Sugar staying on Earth and his story with Henry is also unfinished. And, with suspense lingering about Djen’s whereabouts, there is a lot that Season 1 leaves ambiguous. 

So, if the reception to ‘Sugar’ continues to be good and the streaming numbers are up to Apple TV+’s expectations, the series will likely be renewed for a second season sometime in the future.

What can a potential plotline for Sugar Season 2 look like?

Now that John Sugar is staying on Earth, he would still need to continue his day job as a private investigator, which would mean another case similar to that of Olivia’s disappearance.

On a personal level, John has a bone to pick with Henry and needs to find out about his sister Djen. Also, with Ruby (Kirby) now back on her planet and Miller (Paul Schulze) dead, Sugar will have a bit of a free hand and can do things his way. 

In the final episode, John Sugar possibly told Melanie (Amy Ryan) the secret about his identity. The first season has teased a romance between both characters, and the second season could explore it in detail. 

Finally, the first season ends with John Sugar feeling more connected to human beings and emotions. The second season could explore his character, learning more about humans and Earth.
