Cece Parker Jones, a ballet student who enrols at the Paris Opera Ballet School in Paris, France, embarks on an enchanted voyage in Hulu’s “Spellbound.” The Jill Girling and Lori Mather-produced teen fantasy drama series centres on Cece as she discovers her magical abilities and Wizen ancestry. It is a spin-off of “Find Me in Paris.” Cece puts herself in serious peril after juggling her ballet lessons and magical adventures, leaving the first season on a cliffhanger. Here is what we know about the potential for “Spellbound” season 2 in case you’re wondering whether Cece and her friends will return to our screens, answering some of the burning questions!
Will Spellbound Season 2 Happen?
Season 1 of “Spellbound” debuted on Hulu on August 31, 2023. There are thirteen episodes in the first season, and each one lasts about 25 minutes. On the same day, every episode of the first season was made available on the streaming platform. Critics gave the show largely favourable reviews, praising its performances and diversity. But portions of the storytelling and the pacing were criticised.

Since a second season of the sitcom appears to be in the works, fans of the show should be thrilled. Work has started on brand-new episodes even though Huly hasn’t formally declared that the show has been renewed for a second season. Before the program’s launch on the streaming site in August 2023, there were rumours that the second season was about to begin filming in Paris. The authors began work on new episodes as early as June 2023, while preproduction on the sophomore effort began in July 2023.
Co-creator Jill Girling announced the series’ return for a second season on Instagram in June 2023. The second season’s pre-production began, according to an image of the script Girling posted online the next month. On August 17, 2023, Girling made the announcement that the second season had begun filming, exactly two weeks before the first season was made available on Hulu. Approximately six weeks of filming are anticipated, with the project’s completion slated for October 2023.
The second season’s production is moving quickly, and filming has already begun, so there won’t be much of a wait for the new episodes. Filming for the first season started in August 2022, and it was released about a year later. Therefore, a comparable turnaround time for the second installment might be anticipated. Therefore, season 2 of “Spellbound” is scheduled to debut in August 2024.
Alums of the Paris Opera Ballet School who appear in the first season of “Spellbound” include Hailey Romain, Margherita Barbieri, Abigail O’Regan, Sam Darius, Etienne Moana, and Zac Gabriel Werb as Cece Parker Jones, Simone Souter, Mia Banks, Jack Ryder, Benoit Ducasse, and Finn Cassidy. In supporting roles are Rik Young (as Armando Castillo), Raven Dauda (as Ginger Jones), Imogen Mackie Walker (as Amy), Gomolémo Tsagaé (as Lola), and Cameron James-King (as Adrian). It’s anticipated that the majority of the key cast members will return for the second season.
The cliffhanger finale of the first season of “Spellbound,” in which Cece is being taken away by an enigmatic cloaked figure, will probably be resolved in season 2. We’ll probably discover more about Adrian and Kevin’s past and the motivations for their search for Cece’s abilities. Juliet, a formidable witch, might also be a danger to Cece and her pals. Cece, on the other hand, could find it difficult to hide her magical abilities from her friend Mia and crush, Benoit. As a last possibility, we may also learn more about Cece’s role as the “Wise One,” her ancestry, and her actual potential as a Wizen.
