Will there be a second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events? According to The Wrap, the new series is now one of Netflix’s top-rated TV shows.
Based on the book series by Lemony Snicket, the show follows the three Baudelaire orphans, who are sent to live with their eccentric relative Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) after their parents die. The cast also includes Patrick Warburton, Catherine O’Hara, Aasif Mandvi, Alfre Woodard, Joan Cusack, Malina Weissman, and Louis Hynes. Season one debuted on January 13th.
Though Netflix doesn’t release ratings, Symphony Advanced Media reports A Series of Unfortunate Events was viewed by 3.755 million adults 18-49 during its opening weekend. That places the original series behind Fuller House, Orange is the New Black, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in terms of rankings.
The streaming platform has not officially renewed the show for a second season, but it seems likely. Recently, EP Barry Sonnenfeld said season two is already being written.

We need series 2. Don’t leave us hanging. What’s going on with that fie and who were those children.
The children were the quagmire children.
Yes series 2. Omg what happened with the fire who are those children. Don’t leave us hanging
This is the kind of show that middle school/high schoolers should be watching – informative and endlessly entertaining. It reminds me of the semi cheesey shows of the 80s and 90s that I grew up with.
Yes! I want a second series! Not my words Michael, the words of shaken Stevens ! Alan Partridge.
Lots of fun, keeps you guessing even after the end of season 1. Definitely need a season 2!
Love it so far! Hope it keeps going
