We always knew that if Netflix picked Altered Carbon up for a second season, Joel Kinnaman wouldn’t be reprising the role of protagonist Takeshi Kovacs.
Executive producer and Season 1 showrunner Laeta Kalogridis will resume her duties on Season 2, with Alison Schapker serving as co-executive producer and showrunner.
It’s still early days so it’s unclear when the new season will premiere, but you can — and should — catch up with Season 1 on Netflix.
Part of the appeal of Altered Carbon is that basic premise, which allows for new actors to step into the role each season.
