Keep on reading to find out the latest information about Katla Season 2.
Katla Season 2 Renewal and Release Date
Katla Season 1 made its debut on Netflix in June 2021. However, no official announcements of the series renewal for a second season have been made. This is probably because Katla is a hidden gem that is yet to be discovered by lots of people. Netflix will closely monitor views and ratings on the series for a few months to decide whether they should give the green signal for Season 2.
We will probably hear news of an official announcement by August 2021. Till then, we can only keep our fingers crossed and pray that Katla doesn’t turn out to be a limited one-season series.
If the series does get green-lit for a second season, it may air in June 2022. However, it could also take longer and air in early 2023.

Plot
In Season One, we saw mysterious ash-covered people who had previously died returning to life as changelings. These changelings were obviously not humans but just duplicates. They were created by meteorite fragments bringing people’s thoughts and memories to life. The changelings included Grima’s sister Asa and Darri’s son Mikael. His parents drowned the former committed suicide, and the latter once their respective families realized the truth about their existence. Towards the end, a changeling version of Grima too appears. However, the real Grima and the changeling play a game of Russian Roulette which kills the latter. The season ended at a major cliffhanger with the earth groaning and several ash-covered changelings rising and heading towards Vik.
Season 2 will tell us more about this army of changelings. What disaster will they bring for the town? Will their families kill them too after they discover the truth. Or will Vik be taken over and ruled by humanoid changelings instead of real-life people?
We will also learn more about how and why these creatures came into existence in Season 2.
