Renewed Or Cancelled?

Jungle is a crime drama series blending arthouse visuals with rapping. The story focuses on two different characters attempting to better their lives, complete with plenty of slow-mo shots and hedonistic imagery. If you’ve finished this one, you may be wondering if this one’s been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know so far:

What is Jungle Season 1 about?

Jungle is set in a near-future London, during an unspecified time where skyscrapers are lit up with neon advertisements. It’s basically like Blade Runner 2077 but there’s a profound lack of worldbuilding to note.

The story itself is essentially sliced in half, with the first 3 episodes following one character before whiplashing across and following a completely different player. The first 3 focus on a man called Gogo, who tries to change his life for the better by getting mixed up in one last daring robbery with his partner, Slim. Unfortunately, things go awry when the security guard there is murdered in cold blood. With the guard’s gang lusting for blood, led by his brother 6ix, Gogo tries to escape the inevitable.

The second half then switches things up and focuses on a character called Marcus, who also wants to try and start a new life and be a better role model for his brother, Danial. He has a shady past which catches up to him late on, exacerbated by the fact he falls for the beautiful and talented Bianca.

We have coverage on Jungle across the site, including a full season review.


Has Jungle been renewed for season 2?

At the time of writing, Amazon have not renewed Jungle for a second season. Given the nature of this arthouse series and the way its story is set up, despite the ambiguous ending this is more of a one-and-done sort of series. The themes are pretty resonant but the lack of character substance is definitely a sticking point here.

The reception to this series has been pretty mixed too, with fans and critics alike split right down the middle. This feels very much like a divisive show that you’re either going to love or loathe.

With all that considered, we predict that Amazon will not renew Jungle for a follow-up. Right now Amazon is focusing all of its attention on Rings of Power, and Jungle doesn’t feel like a show that the streaming giants will keep on the table for a renewal.


What we know about season 2 so far:

Not much is known about season 2 at the time of writing, given this one has not been renewed. Despite Amazon’s track record for renewals, we’re predicting that this isn’t going to get a greenlight for a follow-up.

It’s likely that Amazon will make an official announcement several months from now about the future of this rap-centric show, but for now we’ll have to wait and see.

We’ll be sure to update this section with more information as it becomes available.
