With Kinnaman moving on to the Amazon Prime original Hanna, Altered Carbon will be getting a new Kovacs in Season 2.
The inaugural season featured Joel Kinnaman as Kovacs, who hinted at the end of Season 1 that he would be turning in his sleeve. These discs, also referred to as stacks, can be transferred to other bodies (sleeves) when a person dies.ĭue to these rules, I had wondered at the end of Season 1 whether we would see a new actor fill the main role of super soldier Takeshi Kovacs in the next season. In the world of Altered Carbon, people have a small disc inserted in the back of the neck that houses the person’s memories and personality. "But nobody knows that the second season or what the continuation would be, but if they follow the narrative of the books, then it would be a new cast for every one, maybe with a couple of holdovers.Netflix has dropped a casting announcement for Season 2 of the flashy science fiction thriller Altered Carbon, and I’m pleased to see a couple of the returning characters. It would be more of an anthology," he told Rotten Tomatoes. "If you look at the books, each book takes place in a completely different universe, so if the rights to the other books and then them, to follow them, it would be basically a new cast for every season. Related: Here's what to expect in Altered Carbon season 2, according to the books If the show wants to continue to adapt his books, there are two other of Richard K Morgan's novels already written by Morgan about Kovacs – Broken Angels and Woken Furies.īut Kinnaman thinks sticking closely to the novels could be the direction of the show going forward. "I think once you start 'prequelling' you hollow out the initial inspiration and you end up in a place where you've stripmined everything about that character and it ceases to have the mystery." "I always think prequels are a bad idea," he said. Morgan previously chatted about his aversion to making future seasons of the show a prequel. Do I need to shoot you, because I will shoot you.' It's a wonderful character to live in." Trepp is like, 'You're not helping me, get on, because I got other things to do. A lot of time with women in these positions, they are there to be the voice of reason or the lovely sidekick. She added: "I get to shoot guns and actually kill people. Having played these people who were like, 'I'm for my community and protecting the greater good.' Trepp is like, 'Nah, it's about me'." "It's a great character, to be able to relish in that self-preservation.
It's also cast Simone Missick, who played Detective Misty Knight in Netflix's Luke Cage, and Dina Shihabi, who appeared in Daredevil as Neda Kazemi.Ĭhatting to Deciderabout her brand new role, Missick said: "I had so much fun playing that woman, I would say, equal to, if not more as Misty Knight. Mackie isn't the only Marvel star that the show has added for its second season. That's the possibility when people can change bodies."ĭetractors who criticised the first season for focusing on a white lead will hopefully see their concerns addressed now that Kinnaman has left the show. Joel Kinnaman was very supportive of his recasting, saying: "That was always the intention of the show, and I thought that that was a very cool concept, that the character would continue, but a new actor would play him for each season."Īnd Kinnaman feels the show could go even further: "I wouldn't be surprised if in another season, we see a woman playing the same character. Which leads us to what actually is going on with the second season.
