The Mole was one of Netflix’s most popular new series of 2022, so it’s natural to be curious about when the next season will air and what will change about the show moving forward. As a reboot of the reality competition series originally run by ABC in the early 2000s, The Mole took a nearly 15-year hiatus before premiering on Netflix with a whole new audience to captivate. With some reinvented challenges, new locations, and a new host Alex Wagner, the first season of The Mole was a huge success for the streaming service.
With the first season of The Mole having shown off some of the more Big Brother-style competitions and strategies involved, a second season of the series would offer even more in terms of social dynamics coming to play. After watching the way players interacted, creating partnerships like Avori Henderson and Pranav Patel’s or working as independently as possible like Will Richardson, it would make sense that new dynamics would come to the surface during a second season. Potential new twists could encourage alliances, or they could dissuade players from trying to rely on one another entirely.
The Mole Season 2 Is Coming To Netflix
While there is no date available yet for the next installment, Netflix Tudum announced there will be another season of the Netflix competition series The Mole coming soon. According to the streaming platform, the “high-stakes competition series is returning for another round with 12 brand new players” who will fight to uncover the saboteur and win the prize pot. Doing their best to avoid elimination week by week, the players will take on challenges that arise in their degree of difficulty as the competition continues. As the physical challenges become harder to navigate, the psychological nature of the competition does as well, pushing the players to think more critically than they have before.
The Mole Will Feature An All-New Cast
As The Mole focuses on a group of players’ abilities to spot the saboteur and stop them from sacrificing money from the prize pot, the show’s cast will shift from season to season, inviting a whole new group to try their hand at the game. The announcement for the second season even includes a link to the show’s casting website, where hopefuls can apply to be cast. With the show as big of a phenomenon as it was in the early 2000s and now finding new life on Netflix, potential players will likely remember and be interested in joining the series to try their hand at the game.
With The Mole breaking out as one of Netflix’s competition biggest series of 2022, the likelihood of it continuing on for seasons to come is high. As stars of the first season have continued to try their hand at other Netflix series, like Will and Dom Gabriel in Perfect Match, it is clear the opportunity to be on the show can be fruitful. By inviting all new players to try their hand at a social game that incorporates mental agility in order to claim their prize and ensuring that the physical components of the competition are interesting, The Mole season 2 could be even better than the first.
