Julie and the Phantoms Season 2 Release Date: Cancellation Looming?

Julie and the Phantoms Season 2 Release Date: Julie and the Phantoms, as a musical comedy, lives up to its name. The Season 1 of the show saw favorable reviews and ratings. However, the show’s audience is a niche. Not everyone likes a musical comedy that reminds you of the 90s and early 2000s.

The show has every element of an excellent musical comedy, but the downside is that not many people watch this genre anymore. So to speak, Julie and the Phantoms is a fantastic series that was released in the wrong time period.

Fans of the show are, however, adamant about its merits and want to know the Julie and the Phantoms Season 2 Release Date. Keep reading to find out!

About

Julie and the Phantoms is a musical comedy-drama Netflix streaming television series created by Dan Cross and David Hoge that premiered on September 10, 2020. The show is based on the Brazilian television show Julie and the Fantasmas.

Julie, a 15-year-old girl, is the focus of the show, as are three ghosts: Luke, the lead guitarist, Alex, the drummer, and Reggie, the bass player.

Julie’s life is transformed: she forms a band with the ghosts and begins performing regularly in her hometown. The friendly ghosts assist her in dealing with daily problems, particularly her love of music.

Release Date

Sadly, Julie and the Phantoms has been canceled. In December, the show’s producer said, “We found out this week that Netflix will not renew our show for a second season. Despite our sadness, we are extremely proud of what we accomplished as a team and the family we formed while working on Julie.”

People questioned Netflix’s decision not to order a second season of Julie and the Phantoms after its cancellation on December 18. Unfortunately, we may never know why the show was canceled because Netflix has yet to issue an official statement and rarely provides explanations when canceling the series.

Shows are typically canceled due to a lack of audience interest, resulting in low viewership. Because of how Netflix releases viewing data, it is difficult to know how many people watched Julie and the Phantoms on Netflix during its first month and subsequent months.

Plot

As we have mentioned, there will be no Season 2 of Julie and the Phantoms. This means that there is no plot available for it. We can hope that a streaming platform may pick up the show and start where it left off. To give you a semblance of what the prospective plot of the show would have looked like, you can read the plot summary and make your own Season 2 storyline!
