Netflix cult thriller Unchosen has quickly climbed its way to the top of the platform’s charts. With 10.4 million views this week, it’s the most watched English show globally, as well as the #1 show in 40 countries.
At only six episodes, it draws in viewers thanks to its intriguing premise and unnerving atmosphere. Given the strong viewership numbers, should be expect a follow-up anytime soon?
Unchosen Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t announced any official plans for a potential Unchosen season 2. Still, it’s early days.
The title isn’t listed as a limited series, and its popularity means that more episodes aren’t out of the question. Star Fra Fee certainly hopes so. Chatting with Collider, Fee confessed he would be excited to reprise his role as Sam.
“I would love to continue his journey simply because I hadn’t come across such a brilliant character in so long, really, and I would just love to explore him further. But as you said, it’s a very satisfying end to the show, and if it were to end here, it’s quite a satisfying one,” Fee said.
For now, all we can do is wait and see. In case Netflix gives the green light, new episodes could arrive in 2027 or 2028.

What Is Unchosen About?
Unchosen revolves around a secretive, ultra-conservative religious community. The story follows Rosie, a young wife and mother who has spent her entire life inside the cult. She is bound by strict rules and isolated from the outside world.
Everything unravels when a mysterious outsider, Sam, enters her life after saving Rosie’s daughter from drowning. His arrival forces Rosie to question everything, and she begins to see him as a way out.
As Rosie grows closer to Sam, however, what initially feels like an escape turns into something darker. Secrets come to light, not only about the cult, but also about the man Rosie hoped would save her. Without spoilers, enough to say that the six available episodes are a wild ride.
The finale offers a sense of closure. That said, it also leaves an open door for Unchosen season 2, which could explore what happens to Rosie after the events of the last episode. We’re sure her story would be just as compelling moving forward.
