Will There Be a Season 2 of The Bondsman?
While Prime Video hasn’t officially confirmed a renewal for The Bondsman, both Kevin Bacon and showrunner Erik Olesen remain optimistic. The show’s first season concludes with a compelling plot twist, making a strong case for its continuation.
Olesen hinted at his intentions, stating, “I have evil, devious plans for a second season, and I tried with the way I wrote season one to make it as difficult on Amazon as possible to not give us a second season. There’s a lot more story to tell in this world. We’re just getting started.”
Kevin Bacon’s Vision for His Character
In a recent interview with Variety, Bacon shared his excitement about exploring deeper aspects of his character, Hub Halloran. Hub, a failed musician and family man, embarks on a journey of emotional growth while serving as Satan’s bounty hunter, engaging in thrilling fights, including an underwater sequence and a scene featuring a flaming chainsaw.
Bacon explained, “They have not picked the show up for a second season, but we’ve already had conversations about if they were to do it, what it might be. Going deeper into Hub’s issues—I’ll leave it to the writers to figure out all the plot stuff, but from a character standpoint, I’m always looking for new and harder challenges, whether they be physical or emotional: loss, guilt, redemption.”
