Legends Season 2: What We Know About The Netflix Crime Drama’s Future

Netflix could well have another hit on its hands with its new true crime drama Legends.

Helmed by The Gold creator Neil Forsyth and led by a sprawling all-star cast that includes Steve Coogan and Tom Burke, the six-part series has already earned positive reviews, and slowly began climbing the streaming service’s chart of most-watched shows upon its release last week.

With just six episodes in total and a gripping true story at its centre, Legends makes for ideal binge-viewing – but that does also mean that you may well have finished the whole thing by the end of the weekend.

Naturally, you might now be pondering whether or not more episodes of Legends could be coming in the future, so here’s a quick guide to everything we know at the moment…

The first thing to note is that Legends is based on a true story, which is wrapped up pretty well by the finale, so our immediate gut feeling is that it’s unlikely more episodes of Legends could be coming.

However, one glimmer of hope there could be for Legends viewers about the future of the show is that it’s not explicitly billed as a “miniseries” or “limited series” on Netflix, which its past offerings only intended to run for one season have said.

One interesting theory put forward by Radio Times is that if Netflix did want to carry Legends on, Neil Forsyth could look at other similar cases of ordinary people winding up in extraordinary circumstances, or undercover cases that made for great stories.

Both seasons of Neil Forsyth’s hit show The Gold are streaming on BBC iPlayer.

Starring Dominic Cooper and Hugh Bonneville, The Gold also features appearances from several Legends cast members, including Tom Hughes, Joshua Samuels and Thomas Coombes.
