The Midnight Gospel: Will or Won’t it return?
If you’ve ever watched Adventure Time and thought to yourself, “I like it but wish it was stranger,” here is the episode for you. You have a wide range of preferences, but you’re also in luck. In 2018, shortly after the Cartoon Network series finished (but before it was restored in 2020). Another series created by Pendleton Ward, The Midnight Gospel Season 2, pleased animation fans. It is that which finds humour in the midst of doomsday scenarios.
With his latest series, The Midnight Gospel, Pendleton Ward, the creator of Voyage Time, has taken animation fans on their wildest journey yet. Clancy Gilroy, a spacecaster who lives on the Chromatic Ribbon, a membranous, tape-like planet in the middle of a colourful void where simulation farmers use powerful bio-organic computers to simulate a variety of universes from which they harvest natural resources and new technology, is the protagonist of the popular Netflix streaming anime series.
From drug legalisation to religion, the show tackles a wide range of topics with equal parts humour and tragedy. As a result, viewers may be unhappy to learn that Netflix has decided not to renew The Midnight Gospel Season 2 for a second season. Despite the fact that fans have started a petition to get extra episodes approved. The first season ended on a cliff-hanger, leaving fans excited for Season 2 of The Midnight Gospel.
The chats are significantly more relaxing than the images, which bombard your senses with a variety of bizarre stimuli. Each chat is derived from comedian Duncan Trussell’s real-life podcast and explores spirituality and the meaning of life in an odd but wonderful way.
Fans are eager to find out what happens next for Clancy because of the show’s unique perspective and cliff-hanger finale, but will The Midnight Gospel get renewed for a second season?
When will the second season of The Midnight Gospel be available on Netflix?
As of this writing, Netflix has not renewed The Midnight Gospel Season 2. On April 20, 2020, the anime series will launch, coinciding with the customary 4/20 cannabis-themed festivals. For a psychedelic animated series, this is the right release date. We hoped that the showrunners would be able to release Season 2 of The Midnight Gospel on the same day as Season 1 did last year. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
And from our resources, it is learned that Netflix has decided not to renew The Midnight Gospel for a second season. Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward and comedian Duncan Trussell collaborated on the adult cartoon streaming television series. On April 20, 2020, Netflix premiered the animation. It’s Ward’s debut animated project for Netflix. It transforms Trussell’s podcast discussions with various guests into fascinating adventures.
Though The Midnight Gospel Season 2 has yet to be officially announced, the response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. It is expected to arrive soon, according to fans. Trussell is optimistic about the second season of The Midnight Gospel.
The inventor told Deadline in an interview, “Obviously, there is a writhing part of me that is deeply in suspense, waiting for a decision, one way or the other, and if I pretended that wasn’t there, everyone would think I was a bad liar… However, they allowed us to make this insane contraption! To me, it’s the strangest thing to think that any network would let Pendleton and me run with this crazy idea—and now it’s eternally on Netflix.”
Sure, the entire firm is going through a lot right now, but the animation is easier to work on remotely, and Duncan Trussell has already recorded hundreds of podcast episodes to take inspiration from, so Netflix, please put Duncan (and us) out of our misery!
Naturally, the Coronavirus outbreak is still wreaking havoc on the film and television industries. The current issues are well-known to us. As a result, the showrunners should be forced to move the premiere date of The Midnight Gospel Season 2 forward. Nonetheless, knowing that Duncan Trussell has hundreds of podcast episodes under his belt. It signifies that the source material for Season 2 of The Midnight Gospel will be just right.
Who will be in Season 2 of The Midnight Gospel?
Season one of The Midnight Gospel had a number of notable guests, including Damien Echols, a member of the infamous West Memphis Three. While former guests are unlikely to return, new faces such as Mehcad Brooks from Supergirl could join Duncan Trussell in season two.
Duncan Trussell Family Hour first aired in 2013, and Trussell has taped over 400 episodes since then, so there is ample material for further seasons if Netflix decides to bring the show back.
Duncan Trussell as Clancy Gilroy, Phil Hendrie as Universe Simulator, Christiana P as Bobua, Maria Bamford as Butt Demon, Steve Little as Captain Byrce, Dong Lussenhop as Daniel Hoops, Joey ‘Coco’ Diaz as Chuck Charles, Stephen Root as Bill Taft, and Johnny Pemberton as Clancy Gilroy are among those who could appear if the show gets renewed.
Season 2 of The Midnight Gospel might have the following plot:
Birth, death, rebirth, transfiguration, and other topics would become more important in Season 2 of the Midnight Gospel. Individuals will be taken on a deep cosmic journey while simultaneously increasing their psychedelic experience, according to claims.
The topic of each episode is determined mainly by the podcast talks on which it is based, The Midnight Gospel’s first season did feature specific overarching stories that resulted in what may have been Clancy’s death.
If a second season of The Midnight Gospel is made, it will delve deeper into topics such as birth, death, rebirth, and transfiguration. It will purportedly transport enthusiasts on a profound cosmic voyage and elevate the hallucinogenic experience.
Clancy’s voyage through the simulator is depicted in each episode of The Midnight Gospel, with the species that inhabit these worlds acting as the guests he interviews for his space cast. At the end of each episode, Clancy is frequently apprehended by the authorities for his legal actions. Clancy, on the other hand, was able to board a large bus and flee.
Whether or not Clancy survives season one, The Midnight Gospel Season 2 may potentially follow him into the afterlife, with new talks about the nature of existence itself. When Inverse asked Trussell what actually happened at the end of season one, he gave Inverse an extended, thorough response, in line with his podcasting approach. Here’s a sample of what appears to be the most relevant material for the show:
A Second Season is desperately needed!
Personally, I’d like to see this concert performed again. In a surreal, smart, and spacey animated package, the presentation is an alchemical blend of hilarity and profound consciousness. Every episode takes a deliberate approach to the way words and images collide. The emotional effect of the emotional occasions is amplified.
Take, for example, the season 1 finale, which deals with Trussell’s mother’s death. The audio comes from a podcast he conducted with his mother just weeks before she passed away. Trussell was “amazed” by how respectful and emotional his mother was treated. When the animators got their hands on the episode, which had been written without Trussell’s input.
In August 2020, Trussell spoke with Inverse, indicating that the streaming giant was thrilled with the series’ initial popularity. Making a renewal a foregone conclusion:
I think it’s clear that we all want Trussell to keep telling stories with Ward’s help. A petition to resurrect “The Midnight Gospel” is also available on Change.org. It’s a petition with little over 3,000 signatures. Okay, so it’s not a massive sum just yet, but it’s significant nonetheless. This sleeper hit has a passionate fan base. And the more people who see it, the more positive feedback they give it. I’ve told everyone I know to keep an eye on it.
