Amazon Prime Video has not yet premiered their fantasy drama Carnival Row, but today, they announced an early Season 2 renewal which sounds like a vote of confidence for the upcoming series.
Here’s a press release with more details:
AMAZON PRIME VIDEO ORDERS SECOND SEASON OF ITS UPCOMING FANTASY DRAMA CARNIVAL ROW
Carnival Row Debuts August 30 Exclusively on Amazon Prime Video
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 27, 2019 – Amazon Prime Video today announced it has ordered a second season of Carnival Row, the one-hour Amazon Original
fantasy drama series from Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne. The highly-anticipated first season will premiere Labor Day Weekend, Friday, August 30, 2019 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in over 200 countries and territories worldwide.
Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Delevingne (Suicide Squad) star in Carnival Row, a series set in a Victorian fantasy world filled with mythological immigrant creatures whose exotic homelands were invaded by the empires of man. This growing population struggles to coexist with humans — forbidden to live, love, or fly with freedom. But even in darkness, hope lives, as a human detective, Rycroft Philostrate (Bloom), and a refugee faerie named Vignette Stonemoss (Delevingne) rekindle a dangerous affair despite an increasingly intolerant society. Vignette harbors a secret that endangers Philo’s world during his most important case yet: a string of gruesome murders threatening the uneasy peace of the Row.
Joining Bloom and Delevingne, the series also stars David Gyasi (Interstellar) as Agreus, a mysteriously wealthy faun who moves into an affluent human neighborhood in defiance of the social order, Karla Crome (Under the Dome) as Tourmaline, a quick-witted faerie poet driven from her war-torn homeland, Indira Varma (Game of Thrones) as Piety Breakspear, the regal and cunning matriarch of the powerful family that rules the city of The Burgue, and Tamzin Merchant (Salem) as Imogen Spurnrose, a young woman who sees in Agreus an opportunity to turn her aristocratic family’s fading fortunes around.
Carnival Row is from Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, with executive producers Marc Guggenheim (Arrow, Eli Stone), Rene Echevarria (Star Trek, Teen Wolf, Castle, Medium), Jon Amiel, Orlando Bloom, and Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans). Beacham’s A Killing on Carnival Row, on which the project is based, appeared on the very first installment of the Hollywood Blacklist in 2005.
