Renewed Or Cancelled?
The Queen of Villains is the latest Japanese drama on Netflix, full of wrestling action, drama and decent characterisation. If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be curious to know whether this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is The Queen of Villains about?
The Queen of Villains is split across 5 episodes, each over an hour long, and tells the story of professional female wrestler called Dump Matsumoto, who achieved fame in the 1980’s.
As a young woman, Kaoru Matsumoto hoped to become a successful professional wrestler while playing a babyface (good) character. She got fired from her job and makes the fateful decision to perform as a heel (evil) character and in doing so, took Japan by storm.
Has The Queen of Villains been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing,The Queen of Villains has not been renewed for season 2. 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, The Queen of Villains has had a pretty decent reaction from critics and audiences alike, with some enjoying the pacing but others finding the story a bit cliched.
Given the way this show is set up, we’re predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The series has plenty of potential, but it does end conclusively with a nice ending and there’s not really much room for a follow-up.
However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Not much is known about season 2 at this time as the series hasn’t been officially renewed. However, if it does return we can expect more drama to come, with a similar 5 episode structure and lots more drama. However, as mentioned above, this seems very unlikely.
As new information is made available, we’ll be certain to update this article.
