As a lifelong cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of film history, I find myself both intrigued and excited by Roland Emmerich’s ambitious plans for Season 2 of “Those About to Die.” The director’s decision to draw inspiration from Francis Ford Coppola’s timeless masterpiece, “The Godfather,” is a bold move that, if executed skillfully, could elevate this series to new heights.
In a potential twist, the second season of Roland Emmerich’s historical drama, “Those About to Die,” might delve deeper into the past (even beyond what was shown in Season 1). The director is reportedly drawing inspiration from Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic “The Godfather” trilogy for the series. This year, “No Time to Die” premiered on both Peacock and Prime Video, offering a gritty portrayal of Rome, where various factions struggle for power over the newly constructed Colosseum amid ongoing food scarcity and unrest. Although Season 1 has garnered positive responses from viewers, an official renewal for a second season is yet to be announced.
According to recent reports, although an official confirmation is still pending, director Roland Emmerich hinted that he is already preparing for the second season and suggested a narrative approach similar to “The Godfather Part II.” This iconic sequel, often considered superior to the original by some, splits its storyline between two distinct timelines. The current timeline will likely focus on Michael Corleone’s leadership of the family, while the past will offer flashbacks detailing Vito Corleone’s rise to power, much like Emmerich plans for the upcoming season.
In an interview with Collider earlier this year, Emmerich expressed a similar thought, stating that Season 2 will delve into Domitian’s history. As the Godfather Part I was a flawless film, they pondered what to do next, and they decided to explore the past, said Emmerich. The director further elaborated on this point.
Explain the sequence of events leading to Domitian’s ascension as emperor and the subsequent trouble for his relative due to this connection. Detail the stories of these characters and their future developments, without revealing too much of the plot.
Will Those About to Die Be Renewed?
Enthusiasts of Emmerich’s intense portrayal of Ancient Rome, with its graphic depiction of chariot races and gladiatorial combat, are keeping their fingers crossed for news on a new season. However, so far, neither Peacock nor Prime Video have given any indication about whether Those About to Die will return for another season.
It appears that the uncertainty surrounding a second season of “Those About to Die” stems from the mixed reception the series received upon its July debut. Although it achieved high viewership on platforms like Peacock and Prime Video, reaching the sixth spot in streaming rankings for the week starting July 18, and even surpassing popular shows such as “Cobra Kai,” “Sunny,” and “Lady in the Lake” in terms of audience numbers, it fell short when compared to heavyweights like “The Acolyte,” “House of the Dragon,” “The Bear,” and “The Boys.” At this point, whether or not “Those About to Die” will be renewed for a second season remains uncertain.
