As per our sources, the filming for the first season commenced in September 2019. Judging by that, it will take the usual 12-14 months time period for Season 2 to hit our screens.
As of now, nothing’s official, neither about the release date nor about the filming commencement. Still, our sources suggest that there is a plan for filming to begin in Summer 2021. If the schedule is followed properly, we can expect Season 2 in mid-2022. There is no possibility that we’ll be witnessing more of Barbarians this year.
Plot and Storyline of Barbarians 2
Season 1 embraced the hot-blood victory of Barbarians in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest. Credit goes to the lead warriors, Arminius and Thusnelda, in particular, for their epic triumph and the union of Germanic tribes. However, their success is for granted and they’ll be facing several post-battle tensions. The Emperor of Rome might plan something dangerous. Also, the tribe may get Arminius or Thusnelda as their King/Queen.
The showrunner Arne Nolting told New York Times, “It’s not a history lesson, we’re making entertainment.” Hence, we can’t expect that the plot of Season 2 will follow the same path as that in history. The second season can chase any storyline, as of now. But one thing’s for sure, it will be more crazy and dramatic than ever.
Cast and Characters
