Prime Video has dropped the official trailer and key art for the long-anticipated second and final season of the fantasy-drama Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne. The popular series first streamed in 2019 and is finally returning to the streamer with 10 all-new episodes. Season 2 kicks off in 240+ countries and territories worldwide on February 17 with two episodes – additional episodes roll out two per week.
The new season picks up in the fantasy world where humans and creatures clash, with former inspector Rycroft Philostrate aka Philo (Bloom), investigating a series of gruesome murders stoking social tension. Vignette Stonemoss (Delevingne) and the Black Raven plot payback for the unjust oppression inflicted by The Burgue’s human leaders, Jonah Breakspear (Arty Froushan) and Sophie Longerbane (Caroline Ford). Tourmaline Larou (Karla Crome) inherits supernatural powers threatening her fate and The Row’s future. And, after escaping The Burgue and her vengeful brother Ezra (Andrew Gower), Imogen Spurnrose (Tamzin Merchant) and her partner Agreus Astrayon (David Gyasi) encounter a radical new society which upends their plans. With humans and fae folk divided and freedom on the line, each hero will face impossible dilemmas and soul-defining tests in the epic conclusion of Carnival Row.
Carnival Row is a co-production of Amazon Studios and Legendary Television. The series is executive produced by showrunner Erik Oleson (Marvel’s Daredevil, The Man in the High Castle); Bloom; Delevingne; Brad Van Arragon (Yellowjackets); Sarah Byrd (The Alienist, Strange Angel); Jim Dunn (Marvel’s Daredevil, Haven); Sam Ernst (Marvel’s Daredevil, Haven); Wesley Strick (The Man in the High Castle); and Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans).
Based on Beacham’s A Killing on Carnival Row, the project appeared on the first installment of The Black List in 2005.
