The first season of the crime action series “Stumptown” premiered on Sky in the middle of the year. We’ll tell you whether fans and those who want to become fans can look forward to a second season.
Dex Parios, a traumatized Afghanistan veteran, has to cope with the loss of her ex-boyfriend after an explosion in action. Parios (Cobie Smulders) is injured in the explosion herself and then returns to her home in Portland to take care of her brother Ansel, who suffers from Down syndrome. She quickly realizes that there is not enough money to finance both her gambling debts and daily life, and so she decides to work as a private detective in cooperation with the Portland police.
Comic by Greg Rucka serves as a template
Whether it’s cinema or television, it’s hard to avoid the ever-popular comic adaptations. And so in the case of the action crime series “Stumptown“, a comic by Greg Rucka serves as a template. A total of 19 issues were published between 2011 and 2017. Enough material to turn it into a series with several seasons.
An end to the series “Stumptown” not in sight after all?
Despite enough material to tell, those responsible kept a low profile for a long time regarding a sequel. The reason for this was certainly the mediocre ratings, which could not meet expectations with less than three million viewers per episode. However, the salvation for the series came a little later, as many viewers resorted to reruns on TV or the online platform. Subsequently, the number of viewers per episode was revised upwards to more than 5 million. For example, the continuation of the series “Stumptown” was recently officially confirmed by ABC.
“Stumptown” – Official start date of the second season still unknown
While the first season of the series was lucky enough not to be affected by the Corona shutdown, the production of the second season will have to wait. An exact start date is not yet known and so it can be assumed that the sequel will not make it to television before the end of 2021.
