Netflix has renewed Supacell for a second season.
The hit superhero series debuted back in June, and follows five people from South London with sickle cell disease who unexpectedly develop superpowers.
The streamer has now announced that season 2 is officially on the way, sharing a new poster on social media with the words: "Supacell 2."

Creator Rapman reacted to the news on his X (formerly Twitter) account, teasing: "Season 2 is going to be mad!! #Supacell2."
The writer added in a statement: "I can't wait for the world to see Supacell, season 2. For me season 1 was always an origin story. Season 2 is when the journey really begins. Season 1 was my Batman Begins, Season 2 is my Dark Knight."
What to Read Next
Rapman previously spoke to Digital Spy about the prospect of season 2 last month, revealing that he has "got a story up to season three".
Opening up further about the show's concept, Rapman explained: "I always wanted to do a superpower show, but didn't want the power to just come from anything, like a piece of shiny rock in the ground. Someone got bitten. It's got to be something in you.

"So I just thought, imagine if you have suffered with sickle cell, which is such a harsh disease to live with. No one wants that, but you would ride that disease if it meant your kid would be extraordinary. You would ride being in pain, on the ground hurt, if your kid could fly.
"That was a beautiful thing for me and so many people don't know what sickle cell is. So it raises awareness. It uplifts. Anyone watching it will feel like they've finally been seen and how hard it is."
Supacell stars Tosin Cole, Adelayo Adedayo, Nadine Mills, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Calvin Demba and Eddie Marsan.
Supacell season one is streaming now on Netflix.
