We’ve got five questions that need to be answered in Brave New World Season 2.
Now that we’ve finished binge-watching Brave New World‘s first season, we’re looking ahead to Brave New World Season 2. Unfortunately, we do not yet know if the series will return for a sophomore season, but showrunner David Wiener did reveal to Inverse that “there’s room for future seasons,” which is a good sign.
Hopefully, within the next month or so, NBC and Peacock will reveal their plans for the series. It ended with so many questions left unanswered that it demands another season. Here are five questions we really hope get answered in Brave New World Season 2, should it come to fruition.
5. Brave New World Season 2: What is Indra’s goal in the Savage Lands?
At the end of the finale, Bernard, Wilhelmina, and Indra land in the Savage Lands where they come across Shiela. Surprisingly, she doesn’t automatically kill Bernard, especially after he offers her a special gold box. Instead, it looks like the unlikely trio will be teaming up for a new adventure. In the final frame, we see Bernard has been infected by Indra and is under her control.
What does she want to do in the Savage Lands? Also, since Controller Mond did not kill herself, but did get rid of the other World Controllers, doesn’t Indra technically still have a connection to Mond’s mind? Is that simply a plot hole or did Indra genuinely need to get out of New London to survive?
4. Brave New World Season 2: What is in the gold box?
As we mentioned briefly in the previous slide, the main reason Sheila doesn’t immediately kill Bernard for returning to the Savage Lands despite her previous warnings is because he offers her a strange gold box. She opens it, and whatever is inside motivates her to give Bernard and Helm a chance to tag along. We don’t get to see what’s inside the box.
Could it be a new type of contact lens? It has to be something small to fit inside a carrier no bigger than an average jewelry box. Unfortunately, we aren’t given many context clues to even make theories. I suppose we’ll find out next season (I hope).
3. Brave New World Season 2: How will Lenina and John handle their new roles in New London?
While Bernard is sent to the Savage Lands, John and Lenina remain in New London with new roles. Lenina is promoted to the new Director in a world that might differ vastly from the old rules and class separations.
John now lives as a hermit beneath New London, keeping in contact with Lenina only through holographic date nights. I can’t see that lasting forever, no matter what John thinks he wants, at some point, the two will likely reunite. I’m curious what New London will be like under Lenina Crowne’s rule.
2. Brave New World Season 2: What will happen to the Epsilon workers?
The surviving Epsilon workers are going to be in an odd place come Brave New World Season 2. After slaughtering a large portion of the population, I can’t see them simply returning to life as they knew it before.
If they no longer separate people by class rankings, then the Epsilon will likely matriculate into the population as regular people. But will any of them suffer consequences for murdering their fellow citizens? It would be odd for them to just carry on as if nothing ever happened.
1. Brave New World Season 2: What happened to Frannie?
I’m a big fan of Kylie Bunbury so I was disappointed with how underutilized Frannie was in the first season. By the end, she had been reconditioned into some kind of odd assassin-like character. I’m assuming that may have been Indra’s doing but none of it is ever really explained.
Is it a permanent reconditioning? Is Frannie going to be completely different next season? I’d like to find out more about what happened to her and how that will affect her going forward. It could be an interesting storyline for her to try and figure out who she is with this new conditioning.
Do you want Brave New World Season 2 to happen? What questions do you want to be answered most if it does get renewed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
