HBO’s “The Nevers” debuted its first six episodes in April 2021. The novel, which is set in Victorian London in 1896, describes what transpires after a number of people—mostly women—gain amazing skills. The alarming information regarding how certain people acquired their powers was revealed in the most recent episodes, which also raised a number of new issues.
When might we possibly receive responses? Continue reading to learn what we currently know about upcoming episodes of “The Nevers.”
When and Where to Watch The Nevers Part 2 of Season 1
These initial episodes of season 1 are referred to by HBO as “Part 1.” When will Part 2 (or season 2, if you choose not to adopt HBO’s terminology) be released? As with previous episodes, “The Nevers” will continue to air on HBO. If you’re a member, you can view them on HBO Max; otherwise, if you’re a traditionalist, you can view them on the HBO cable network.
But it’s unclear when you’ll see them specifically. Part 2 will be released by HBO “at a later date,” however it is unclear when exactly that will occur. The fact that Philippa Goslett has taken over as showrunner for the future episodes after Joss Whedon ostensibly stepped down as one factor in this uncertainty.
What We Think Part 2 of Season 1 Will Be About
Even though I’m about to go into serious spoiler zone, if you’re reading this, I’m presuming you’ve already seen “The Nevers” Part 1. In that case, get ready.
The conclusion of Part 1 reveals that a time-traveling alien known as the Galanthi left the women (and some other people) residing in Victorian London with their superhuman abilities. We also learn that Amalia True, the primary character, is truly from the future. She is played by Laura Donnelly. To put it technically, it has a “bananas conclusion” that contradicts everything we previously believed to be true about the show.
Things may really go anywhere now that the viewer is aware of what’s actually at stake (the Galanthi is still alive, despite being buried in rock). The possibilities for “The Nevers” seem limitless when you factor in that Goslett replaced Whedon and has refrained from speaking to the media.
What We Know About The Nevers Writers and Directors
“The Nevers” was conceived by Joss Whedon, who also made its initial announcement at San Diego Comic-Con in 2018. Whedon resigned in November 2020, when the first half of the season was in production, claiming exhaustion. Whedon stated at the time in a statement:
“Since I am truly fatigued, I am turning my attention back to my own life, which is also about to undergo an exciting transformation. I am incredibly happy of the work we have accomplished, and I’m appreciative to HBO for giving me the chance to create yet another surreal world with the help of my wonderful actors and collaborators. ‘The Nevers’ is truly a labour of love, but after working on it for more than two years, love is pretty much all I have left to give. It won’t ever go away.”
The director of “Justice League” was accused of mistreating actor Ray Fisher, and this led to Whedon’s departure. Gal Gadot and other performers backed up Fisher’s allegations of maltreatment by the director. One can’t help but question if the two are related given the date. But that is simply a theory, and we probably won’t ever be able to support or refute it.
Goslett is now in charge of the show, but Whedon is still an executive producer. The British screenwriter was best known for co-writing “Mary Magdalene” (2018) and “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” (2017) before showrunning “The Nevers.”
Of the first six episodes he oversaw, three were directed by Whedon, two by David Semel, and one by Zetna Fuentes. Who will helm the episodes in Part 2 is still unknown. The writers of Part 1 are Melissa Iqbal, Kevin Lau, Laurie Penny, Madhuri Shekar, and Jane Espenson.
