After witnessing a massive success from the first chapter of The Plot Against America, HBO is back with a brand new edition after a long wait of two freaking years. Are you all excited?

The Plot Against America is an American historical drama television show created by David Simon and Ed Burns. Inspired by Philip Roth’s 2004 eponymous novel, HBO released its first chapter of the series The Plot Against America on March 16, 2020, which ends on April 20, 2020 (premier of finale episode). The series is produced by Simon, Burns, and Roth, in association with Joe Roth, Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Nina Noble, Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle, Susan Goldberg, and Dennis Stratton.

The story follows an alternate catch on the 1940 election through the sights of an ordinary family, where Nazi-sympathizing activist Charles Lindbergh defeats Franklin D. The screenplay of the show was very much loved by the fans and also got a lot of appreciation from the critics’ side. If we talk about ratings too, this show did not lag but emerged as a huge hit. The Plot Against America manages to secure 87% audience approval on ratting aggregator site, Rotten Tomatoes whereas on IMDb it holds a 7.3 out of 10 ratings. 

The Plot Against America Season 2: Release Date

The Plot of America is a highly rated and immensely popular historical drama TV series, which was first introduced in 2020. A few days after its release, this show made a different identity in the hearts of the viewers. Now, it is all set to go with its brand-new season. Viewers are eagerly waiting for its next installment because no one has any idea about what can be seen in the upcoming season. We got to see a total of 6 episodes of the first season, each 35-40 minutes long. If seen in the case of Weavers, this show has been seen by almost 4 million audiences across the world. 

After jotting down a lot of leaks and updates and minutely keeping a watch on the show cast precisely, we are anticipating that the showrunner David Simon would consider a second season if he could find a compelling narrative. He also wants to explore antisemitism, populism, and fascism in a second season. However, these are all speculations and no official date is issued yet. As of now, HBO has not passed any official confirmation regarding the release date of the upcoming season. It would be foolish to say any windy words without any official statement. Now, all the hope lies in the maker’s hand. All we can do is wait.

 

“Would make a second season if I find a compelling story,” showrunner David Simon on The Plot Against America Season 2 renewal

As of this writing, the cast and producers of The Plot Against America Season Two have not announced anything. Originally a limited series, the first season adapted Philip Roth’s novel of the same name. However, showrunner David Simon would consider a second season if he could find a compelling narrative. He also wants to explore antisemitism, populism, and fascism in a second season.

Simon stated in a 2020 interview: “I think The Plot Against America can be expanded in many ways. We missed many historical figures and events in the first season. I also want to study antisemitism, populism, and fascism. I consider these topics important now.”

Simon also refuses to do a second season for no reason. He claimed he would only make a second season if he found a compelling story. Although it is possible, there is no official statement concerning The Plot Against America Season 2 yet. Simon would consider a second season if he can find a good plot. Do watch out for more updates!
