HBO Max' description of Season 2 suggests there's more problems on the horizon for the family. They write: "Navigating this strange new society is only the start of their troubles as Mother's 'natural child' threatens to drive what little remains of the human race to extinction."

Completing the new cast additions for Season 2 are Selina Jones, Morgan Santo and Jennifer Saayeng, who plays Grandmother, Vrille and Nerva respectively.

Aaron Guzikowski created the series and continues his role on the show alongside fellow-executive producer Ridley Scott.
