Has Henpocalypse been renewed for Season 2? Here’s what we know:

Renewed Or Cancelled?

Henpocalypse is a mad, comedic trip that focuses on a cast of female characters from the Midlands, spicing things up with plenty of dark humour and character drama.

If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know so far:


What is Henpocalypse Season 1 about?

It’s Zara’s engagement party and she journeys out for four of her pals for a weekend to celebrate. Unfortunately, their trip is interrupted by the end of the world. The apocalypse is here! The girls are begrudgingly forced to wait it out in an isolated holiday cottage in Wales, waiting out the worst of it.

When they eventually emerge from quarantine, they find that the male population has almost been entirely wiped out. What ensues is a crazy ride that sees our girls faced with a post-apocalyptic wasteland to grapple with!


Has Henpocalypse been renewed for season 2?

At the time of writing, BBC have not renewed Henpocalypse for a second season. Given the nature of this series, that could change if it does good numbers on iPlayer.

Generally he BBC, like other networks, 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 final decision is made over a show’s future.

So far, Henpocalypse has had a very mixed reaction from audiences and critics alike, with the series really feeling very much like marmite; either you’ll love it or loathe it!

The story has potential to expand out though, given how this one concludes with that baited ending, almost screaming for a follow-up. Then again, with comedy series like this the cost is usually relatively low. With all that in mind, we predict that BBC will renew Henpocalypse for a follow-up season. Now, that could change as the BBC are usually quite hit or miss with their originals.

We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!


What we know about season 2 so far:

Nothing is known about season 2, given this one has not officially been renewed yet. Should the BBC decide to greenlight this one, it’s fair to assume that the story will continue, potentially mixing things up with a bunch of new characters or adding some spice within the current group of friends struggling to survive.

It’s likely that BBC will make an official announcement several months from now, once the final viewing figures are in, but for now we’ll have to wait and see. We’ll be sure to update this section with more information as it becomes available.
