Brain-bending sci-fi series Constellation has concluded its eight-episode run. And if it’s left you wanting more, you’ll be wondering whether Apple TV’s Constellation is getting a Season 2. Here’s the answer.

Will There Be a Constellation Season 2 on Apple TV?

Apple TV’s Constellation is not getting a Season 2, as it’s been canceled by Apple TV, as reported by Deadline. While speaking to Screen Rant, its creator, Peter Harness, confirmed that he has ideas for a second season. However, unless Apple TV changes its mind or some other network takes the show, those ideas are unlikely to come to fruition. 

A second series could have followed the story of Paul Lancaster, who, like Rapace’s character, was far from home. I loved the series, but I got the feeling that protagonist Jo’s story was over, whereas Lancaster’s was just beginning.

Did Constellation End on a Cliffhanger?

Constellation doesn’t end on a huge cliffhanger, unlike some shows, heaving a pretty tidy conclusion. Yes, I’m still bitter about Santa Clarita Diet, which was canceled after Joel was taken over by one of the red spider-blobs. Sure, Constellation does have some story threads that a sequel could pick up on, but there’s enough of an ending to satisfy most sci-fi fans. 

So, which threads were left dangling? Paul Lancaster, who was shot by Bud Caldera, woke up in hospital, still in the “wrong” universe. So, his story could have been pursued. Also, Henry Caldera swapped places with Bud post-shooting, so he’s now being charged with Bud Caldera’s crimes, including shooting Paul Lancaster and shoving a moon landing skeptic over the side of a cruise ship. 

So, the answer to whether Apple TV’s Constellation is getting a Season 2 is that it’s not because it’s been canceled by Apple TV. Its creator has ideas for a Season 2, but Apple TV isn’t interested.

Constellation is streaming now on Apple TV+.
