Netflix will bring back its first original Canadian series. The streaming video-on-demand platform has renewed the epidemic survival thriller Between, starring Jennette McCurdy, for a second season.
Produced in association with Canada’s City TV, Between tells the story of the Pretty Lake community, whose residents can’t figure out why an outbreak is killing off people over the age of 21 and forcing the rest into quarantine. McCurdy, previously known for her work in iCarly, stars in the lead role of Wiley. The actress made the announcement about the Netflix show’s renewal via a tweet, stating that “the quarantine is not yet over.”
The debut episode of Between season one premiered on May 21, 2015 for Netflix subscribers outside of Canada. With Between, Netflix broke its traditional method of releasing all episodes of a season at once; instead, Netflix released a new episode of Between every week on the platform. Rogers Broadcasting and Canadian streaming service Shomi also released the show episodes every week, making the series available to citizens north of the border.
No release date has been announced for the second season of Between as of yet. However, McCurdy’s tweet indicated Netflix is looking at releasing the next season’s episodes sometime in 2016.
