What Can Fans Anticipate in ZeroZeroZero Season 2? – Top

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for ZeroZeroZero season 1.

Here’s what we know so far about ZeroZeroZero season 2, including its likely release date and story details. The time-shifting Amazon crime drama is centered on international cocaine rings and based on the novel of the same name by Italian author Roberto Saviano (ZeroZeroZero is slang for the purest quality cocaine). ZeroZeroZero season 1 released in March 2020 on Amazon Prime.

ZeroZeroZero season 1 explores the power dynamics within the Mexican and Italian underworlds. For cocaine distribution, their common link is the New Orleans-based Lynwood family, led by siblings Emma (Andrea Riseborough) and Chris (Dane DeHaan) after the early season death of their father, Edward (Gabriel Byrne). In ZeroZeroZero season 1, a corrupt Mexican army commander, Manuel Contreras (Harold Torres), seizes control of operations in Monterrey, Mexico. Meanwhile, Italian gangster Stefano La Piana (Giuseppe De Domenico) secretly plots against his grandfather Don Minu – a respected boss in the ‘Ndrangheta crime organization. ZeroZeroZero season 1 on Amazon Prime was directed by Stefano Sollima, Janus Metz, and Pablo Trapero.

In the penultimate episode of ZeroZeroZero season 1, Stefano is forced to act quickly upon being captured and threatened by the Bellantone family. He tracks down Chris in Morocco, and viciously murders him after not receiving crucial information about a shipment that was supposed to have been shut down, thus causing business problems for Don Minu. The ZeroZeroZero season 1 finale shows how Emma reacts to Chris’ death, and how she manages to secure new deals with both the Italians and Mexicans. Here’s everything we know so far about ZeroZeroZero season 2 on Amazon Prime.

ZeroZeroZero Season 2 Renewal

ZeroZeroZero season 2 hasn’t officially been ordered yet, and may not be given that it was originally billed as a miniseries. The series initially premiered in February 2020 in Italy, and has since released in numerous countries via distributor HBO Europe. Based on general audience reactions to the first season, it certainly seems like there’s an appetite for ZeroZeroZero season 2, should the producers decide to expand on the story.

ZeroZeroZero Season 2 Release Date Info

If ZeroZeroZero season 2 is green lit quickly, filming could commence later in 2020 or perhaps during early 2021. Given the scope of production and the talent involved, it seems likely that Amazon won’t stick with the typical one-season-a-year model for hour-long drama series. At this point, it’s indeed possible that ZeroZeroZero season 2 could release in 2021. However, it seems probable that ZeroZeroZero season 2 won’t release until 2022 on Amazon Prime.

ZeroZeroZero Season 2 Story Details

ZeroZeroZero season 1 plays out like a Greek tragedy and concludes with conflict resolution. In short, Emma operates with a sense of honor by meeting with Don Minu and making an offer he can’t refuse. Moments later, Don Minu personally murders his grandson Stefano and retains power while resuming operations with the Lynwood family, now led only by Emma. In Mexico, however, Emma learns that Manuel is her new contact after removing Jacinto Leyra from the equation. ZeroZeroZero season 1 ends with Emma making a new deal distribution deal and nervously smiling while exiting a Monterrey compound.

In ZeroZeroZero season 2, a Russian subplot could introduced given the specifics of Emma’s deal with Manuel. She needs 2,000 kilos of cocaine in three weeks, which means she’s immediately getting back to work and will have to figure out exactly who she’s dealing with in Monterrey. ZeroZeroZero season 2 will likely introduce a new confidante for Emma, either for professional or personal reasons (perhaps both). In addition, the second installment will probably focus primarily on Russia, if only so that the storyline doesn’t seem to similar to Narcos: Mexico on Netflix. Expect Emma to take a Michael Corleone-style turn in ZeroZeroZero season 2 as she gains more power and identifies the biggest threats.
