Season 1 of “Hit & Run” contains spoilers.

Season 1 of Netflix’s original thriller “Hit & Run” premiered on August 6, but it has already established itself as one of the most popular new shows on the platform. It has established itself as one of Netflix’s top ten most watched series, and there are no doubt many fans who are already anticipating a Season 2.

The series depicts Segev (Lior Raz), an Israeli man who is shocked when his wife Danielle (Kaelen Ohm) is killed in a hit-and-run tragedy. His shock at Danielle’s death, however, pales in comparison to what he goes through as he investigates who killed her and why. Segev not only discovers that Danielle’s death was not an accident, but he also discovers that the woman he married was not the person he thought she was when his research leads him to Danielle’s hometown of New York City.

Is there going to be a second season of Hit & Run? If so, when?

Let’s get one thing out of the way right away: Netflix hasn’t confirmed a second season of “Hit & Run” as of this writing. But there’s no need to be concerned. While Netflix does occasionally order further episodes for its original series, it is more normal for them to take weeks or even months to announce a renewal. And there are other grounds to believe that a second season of “Hit & Run” is almost certain.

As we’ve already mentioned, “Hit & Run” has had a successful premiere, which will undoubtedly boost its popularity. The series is also from Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, who have already had a multi-season Netflix smash with the political thriller “Fauda.”

They worked on “Hit & Run” alongside Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin, who have worked on shows including “Carnivàle” and “The Killing,” which aired its last season exclusively on Netflix. Fans of “Hit & Run” should be hopeful about the project’s potential, given its early traction and a creative team of proven hitmakers behind it.

So, assuming “Hit & Run” is renewed for a second season, when will it premiere? Season 1 was originally announced all the way back in 2018 (via Deadline) and didn’t begin airing until three years later in 2021. That doesn’t guarantee Season 2 will be released in the same amount of time. We wouldn’t be surprised if “Hit & Run” follows in the footsteps of “Fauda,” which releases a new season every two years. Season 2 of “Hit & Run” is set to premiere in 2023 if the show is renewed.

Who will return for Season 2 of Hit & Run?

“Hit & Run” is an authentic espionage thriller, thus no one is completely secure. It’s only fitting, then, that several key characters from the first season were killed off. Although the program makes extensive use of flashbacks to fill out its story, it’s safe to assume that the majority of the characters that perished in Season 1 will not return in subsequent seasons.

However, as the final episode’s credits rolled, we were still left with a few characters who were still alive. Segev, Naomi, Tali, and “Martin” (there’s some uncertainty there, but we’re going to go out on a limb and say he’s still alive) are all expected to return in Season 2, which means Lior Raz, Sanaa Lathan, Moran Rosenblatt, and Gregg Henry are all likely to return.

However, we learned a lot about her in Season 1, and as the cliffhanger in the conclusion establishes, Segev now has some rather pressing immediate worries to address. That could suggest that Season 2 devotes less time to “Danielle’s” past.

Ohm, of all the major cast members that might return, appears to be the most likely to be absent or have a severely reduced role in Season 2.

How could Hit & Run Season 2 continue the story?

“Hit & Run” Season 1 ended in a completely different place than it began. What started out as a man attempting to figure out why his wife died suddenly turned into a complex tale of international espionage.

By the end of Season 1, Segev had discovered that the lady he called “Danielle” was actually a CIA agent named Sophie who had uncovered an espionage plot with enormous implications for US-Israeli relations. He also learned that his ex-wife Shira was murdered and his daughter Ella (Moran Rosenblatt) was missing in the last seconds of the episode.
Ella’s kidnapping may have a similar narrative function in Season 2 to “Danielle’s” murder, which was the primary focus of Season 1. But, for the time being, all of this is just supposition. If Netflix renews “Hit & Run” for a second season, we’ll have to wait and see what Netflix has in store for its viewers.
