Surviving Summer season 2 potential release date: When will it air?
Netflix hasn't renewed Surviving Summer just yet, but these announcements can take some time. Still, things look hopeful as the show has hit top ten charts around the world. So, assuming season two does happen, we expect Surviving Summer to return next summer. Because, duh.
Surviving Summer season 2 cast: Who's in it?
Bar anything troublesome happening behind the scenes, it seems safe to assume that the five main cast members would return for season two, including:
What to Read Next
• Sky Katz as Summer Torres
• Kai Lewins as Ari Gibson
• Lilliana Bowrey as Poppy Tetanui

Surviving Summer season 2 plot: What will happen?
Throughout most of season one, Summer is pretty reluctant to open up, but by the end, she starts to consider Shorehaven as her new home. In the finale's last moments, Summer walks through the airport, looking again at all the pictures she's taken of her new friends. So does this mean that a reunion might be on the cards in a potential season two?
Speaking to The Express, former Disney star Sky Katz explained that this "last moment in the show is a visual representation of how much of a release it can be to find yourself. Summer finally feels… something feels right for once in her life. She's really grateful to have been shown the direction she can go in."
When asked directly if season two is being discussed, Sky said: "Listen, I hope so. It'll be a bit before that's determined, but we're all crossing our fingers."
So plot details of course remain scarce beyond that for now, but Sky did also confirm that, "There have been discussions about putting some of my songs in the soundtrack."
"It never actually played itself out in real life," she continued, "but hopefully [in] season two there will be more from me, both on the music and the acting. I think a lot of the songs I'm working on would have a role in Surviving Summer."
