Should we expect a sequel?

On December 21, the final episode of “The Boy’s Words” was released. The audience was horrified by the suffering of the heroes and asked a logical question: “When will the second season come out and will there be one?”

There is no official answer yet, but given the enormous success of the series, almost no one will be surprised by a continuation.

Will there be a second season for The Boy’s Word?

It seems that initially director Zhora Kryzhovnikov wanted to complete the story in the first season. When he announced that the final episode would be remade, many immediately decided: they wanted to smooth out the corners for a possible second season; They would change the plot to lay the foundation for a continuation.

The eighth episode really differs from the original version: only all the changes are “cosmetic”. The characters suffered the same fate, but the circumstances, the context or the scenes themselves changed. It turns out that Kryzhovnikov made the ending more logical, more dynamic, and in some places more tragic, but the essence remained the same.

However, this does not mean that there will not be a second season. Still, we have before us the most popular series in many years: in terms of popularity in Russia, “The Boy’s Word” has even surpassed “The Squid Game.”

When will the second season of “A Boy’s Word” premiere?

For the first season, producers spent only a year casting actors, and the series itself (excluding recasting) was filmed in seven months. If the producers hurry, the sequel could be released as early as 2025. But, again, if they accept it.

What will happen in the second season of “The Boy’s Word”?

The creators of the series have several options. For example, they could follow the example of American Crime Story and tell new stories about different characters each season. What are Moscow and the region where the Solntsevskaya, Izmailovskaya and Orekhovskaya organized criminal groups operated? Many horrors can be told about his crimes.

If the scriptwriters decide to continue revealing the “Kazan phenomenon”, they will be able to talk about the future of the “Hadi Taktash” group, with which the Universalists fought. In the 90s, the monetary turnover of this gang amounted to millions of dollars, and included combat and counterintelligence units.

Although a classic sequel seems more likely, where viewers will meet their favorite characters again. Was anyone fatally injured in the finale? It’s okay, he’ll lick his wounds and come back in the new season. Did anyone end up in a colony? Somehow he will be freed.

In this case, there is a high risk that the series will go downhill: Russian shows in general find it difficult to survive the second season, quickly lose their enthusiasm and turn into chewing gum. In the case of “The Boy’s Word,” the story seems complete and any development of it seems potentially forced. But the views will definitely be crazy.
