‘The Watcher’ Season 2 Officially Confirmed by Netflix

Netflix has officially renewed the mystery-thriller series The Watcher’ for a second season after its remarkable performance on the streamer. Netflix also confirmed that Ryan Murphy's Monster series will become an anthology series and return for two more seasons.

The news of renewal comes almost a month after The Watcher debuted on October 13. The first season became a hit among the audience for its gripping story but was heavily criticized by both the audience and the critics for its inconclusive ending, which left many viewers disappointed. Netflix hasn't confirmed if the show will return with the continuation of the same story or if it will be a completely different story with a new cast.

“Audiences can’t take their eyes off Monster and The Watcher. The creative team of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, on Monster, along with Eric Newman, on The Watcher, are masterful storytellers who’ve captivated audiences all over the world,” says Bela Bajaria, the head of global TV at Netflix.

Following the record-breaking success of DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan will create two more installments that will focus on other monstrous figures who have impacted society.
