If you’ve binged the entire first season and are itching to know if there will be a fourth, this article has all the details you’re looking for.
Here’s everything we know:
What is Crooks About?
Crooks Season 1 drops the audience into the murky underworld of Berlin. Charly, a retired thief, finds himself dragged back into a life of crime when his past catches up with him. He is tasked with stealing a valuable coin, but as soon as Charley completes the job, things spiral out of control for him, and Charly becomes the target of all the gangsters from Vienna to Berlin.
Has Crooks Renewed for Season 2?
Netflix hasn’t spilled the beans yet about a second season of Crooks, but the finale sets the stage for more action. Charley and Hassan team up and escape from Griselda’s clutches, making her furious. Her look says it all that she’s not giving up easily and will chase them to the ends of the earth. Given how dangerous and ruthless Griselda is, she’s likely to be the big baddie in the next season. Season 2 is also expected to dive into Nina’s backstory, another key character, and explore what happened to her father and how she will secure her revenge.
Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made.
So far, Crooks has had a pretty lukewarm reaction from critics and audiences alike, with some really enjoying the drama and others disliking the casting and the slow storytelling.
Given the way this show is set up as a mini-series, we’re predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The series does have plenty of potential but we also know that a lot of studios are tightening their purses this year, given the knock-on effect of the recent strikes.
What do we know about Crooks Season 2?
As of now, there’s been no official announcement regarding the renewal of Crooks for a second season, leaving fans eagerly awaiting an update. However, given the many unresolved plot points and the show’s potential, there’s a decent likelihood that it will be renewed.
If the show does return, the audience can anticipate a season with approximately 6-8 episodes, each lasting around 55-60 minutes. However, nothing is confirmed yet, but we’ll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in.
