What is The Cage about?

After a brief little prologue, which shows our protagonist Taylor about to start a big fight, we cut back 8 months and see what’s led to this pivotal moment in his career. Taylor is an amateur fighter. Sure, he’s won 3 on the bounce but Boss doesn’t have faith that he can step up and duke it out with the pros.

However, Taylor gets his opportunity midway through episode 1 when the series’ antagonist rears his head. This is Ibrahim, a thug that used to be part of this gym before being kicked out for indiscretions which are revealed in the finale. Before we get there though, Taylor and Ibrahim duke it out, and what ensues from here is a grudge match with a big prize on the line – a route into the UFC.

Taylor isn’t just fighting for himself though. His mum is in debt and struggling to pay back debt collectors, who rough her up at one point and put Taylor in a very difficult position. Several times he looks set to quit, or at least hang up his gloves after rustling up the funds to pay his mum, but each time, he’s given a little pep talk and an encouraging training session and he’s off again.

We have ongoing coverage of The Cage on the site, including a full season review and ending explained. You can find those HERE!

Has The Cage been renewed for season 2?

At the time of writing, The Cage 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 Cage has had a pretty good reaction online from critics and audiences alike.

Given the way this show is set up, and given the ending we receive, we’re predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. The series does have an ending but it also leaves the door wide open for a follow-up too.

However, we could be completely wrong too, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!

What we know about season 2 so far:

Barely anything is known about The Cage season 2 at this point. Given how Niko seems to have spiked Taylor, it would appear that this will be followed up on. We could see Taylor stripped of his title and forced to claw his way back up the rankings again after “going clean”. This would also lend itself to more interpersonal drama with Niko, Bilal and Elena too.

There’s also the situation involving Taylor’s mum left on a tenuous note, while we haven’t followed up properly on Boss’ killer either, which could see Taylor descend down a dark path.

We will update this page when more information becomes available.
