Netflix subscribers are in for a treat as the second season of the adored Pantheon will soon be available.

Originally airing on AMC in 2022, the adult animated series had fans lapping up the twisty sci-fi episodes based on a collection of short stories by Ken Liu.

The plot focuses on a bullied teenager who begins getting messages from an unknown source that is claiming to be her recently deceased father. It transpires that unethical AI is the cause of the sudden contact.

The characters are voiced by Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim, Paul Dano, Katie Chang, Rosemarie DeWitt, Aaron Eckhart, and Orange is the New Black star Taylor Schilling.

The initial eight episodes were given a rare score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and viewers regularly took to social media to share their love for the clever show.

As time went on, many lost hope they’d ever get to see the story continue after AMC pulled season two and removed season one from the platform.

They need not despair any longer as the second series is coming to Netflix on February 21.

Previously the second season had only been possible to view by people in Australia and New Zealand via Amazon Prime Video. Briefscreen was able to see it and teased what we can expect: ‘I am overwhelmed with emotion right now. Watching this has been the highlight of my year.’

‘Still by far one of the best shows I’ve enjoyed and I hate the thought it’s over,’ weighed in RayCosmic.

‘Ending completely blown me up and shattered my concept of reality,’ recalled Ready-Elk8188.

‘It was dark, funny, and hopeful, and contained plenty of the “wow” moments that define the series for me,’ wrote Brainchasemusic on Reddit.

Over on review site Rotten Tomatoes, Brad Newsome wrote about season one: ‘This thoughtful and sometimes horrific anime-style sci-fi thriller series is an engrossing piece of work.’

Allyson Johnson added: ‘What ties it together is the extraordinary writing that takes what could be dense and dizzying text and makes it both contemplative and engaging, inviting to viewers rather than alienating.’

‘Pantheon is such a criminally underrated masterpiece and I hope people can experience this show someday,’ wrote Sean on X. Well that one day is Friday. Happy bingeing all!

Pantheon is available to watch on Netflix on February 21.
