00:00Yee-haw, folks! Saddle up!
00:03We are diving back into the bloody-pluddy and breathtaking world of the English,
00:09the western that gave us revenge, redemption, and sprawling prairie skies.
00:14After that powerful season finale, fans are still wondering, will there be more?
00:19Let us break down everything you need to know about a potential season 2.
00:23First off, let us talk about the release date.
00:25At the time of this video, neither the BBC nor Amazon Studios has confirmed a renewal.
00:31The English was originally billed as a limited series, so technically, that should have been the end.
00:37But hey, so was Big Little Lies, and that one came back by popular demand.
00:43If the English does return, do not expect it anytime soon.
00:46The first season's production was delayed due to the pandemic, beginning in 2021,
00:51and premiering in late 2022.
00:55Realistically, even if the second season got the green light soon,
00:59we probably would not see it before late 2024 or even 2025.
01:04Now, what about the cast?
01:06The heart of the English was Emily Blunt, as Lady Cornelia Locke,
01:10and Chastay Spencer as Sergeant Ellie Whip.
01:14Their chemistry carried the story, one seeking revenge, the other seeking freedom.
01:20Without them, it is hard to imagine the English at all.
01:23That said, Emily Blunt has hinted that Cornelia's journey is complete,
01:27and that she found dignity and peace in her ending.
01:30Still, some surviving characters, like Tom Hueys as Thomas Trafford,
01:35Stephen Arrea as Sheriff, Marshall, Valerie Potner as Martha Myers,
01:40and Gary Farmer as John Clark, could easily return if Hugo Blick decides to continue the story.
01:46So, what could season two explore?
01:48Even though Cornelia and Eli's story seems finished, there is no shortage of history to tell.
01:54The Wild West was vast and violent, a place full of untold tales.
02:00A new season could deepen its exploration of Native American experiences,
02:04post-Civil War America, the rise of new religions,
02:07and the brutal forces shaping a young nation.
02:10Whether or not the English rides again?
02:12One thing's for sure.
02:14Hugo Blick created a masterpiece that etched its place in the Western pie genre.
02:19Keep your pistols polished, and your calendars open.
02:24If the English returns, we will be ready.
