Will there be a Season 2 of the Runarounds?
There’s this buzzy little cliffhanger still hanging in the air: will The Runarounds actually get a second season, or was the band’s big Prime Video debut just a fleeting summer fling? Let’s get the most honest answer right up front: as of now, The Runarounds hasn’t been officially renewed for season 2, but there’s a mountain of hope swirling around, and the creators are very much acting like there’s more to come—even if no streamer exec has signed off just yet.
The creator, Jonas Pate, and the real-life band who star as the core characters seem absolutely wired to keep going. Word from interviews? These guys are working on new music, releasing a record, and even going on tour. If that’s not a show determined to write its own next chapter, what is? There’s a delightful sense of “let’s do this thing anyway” in what they’ve been saying, like a band playing an encore before getting asked back officially.
I have to admit: watching a real band hustle and then seeing them possibly pivot from TV stars right into live shows feels kind of refreshing. I once caught a small-town band’s first big break—a friend’s cousin on bass, blushing like mad in the spotlight. The vibe? Chaotic, earnest, brimming with possibility. That’s what The Runarounds feels like right now: a group at a crossroads, riding high on newfound fans and totally game to see where it leads, no guarantees.
On the not-so-rockstar side, Amazon’s slow-play on the renewal means fans are left gnawing their nails. No big “Season 2 is confirmed!” announcement. Just speculation, a few winks, and the hope that good streaming numbers (and the outpouring of binge-watch requests) might tip the scales. Even the cast is out there doing interviews—lobbying, just a little, for another round.
If you’re the kind who overanalyzes TV renewals, the good news is that Pate actually mapped out the story for five-plus seasons. So, they’re not winging it. Think: tangled romances, unresolved family stuff, new drama once the band tastes fame. It’s all set up—but it will take a little patience to see if Prime Video lets this band stick together for another summer. Keep an ear out and maybe keep a playlist spot open; with a little luck, The Runarounds won’t just be a one-season wonder.
