However, many sources are claiming that Barbarians Season 2 can hit our screen around late 2022.
What To Expect From Barbarians Season 2?
As Netflix has shared any information about the second season of Barbarians, it is hard to determine what exactly will the second season be about. Season 2 will, however, need to explore a lot of new territories. Arminius and Thusnelda fought the three Roman Legions by uniting the Germanic tribes under one banner. The Roman Empire suffered a terrible loss as a result of the successful ambush.
Arminius and Thusnelda will most likely be crowned King and Queen of the tribes due to their triumph. On the other hand, the darkness is not far away. Hadgan and Thusnelda’s father is planning a major onslaught. The two plan to strike when Arminius is least expecting it in order to seize power for themselves. Besides the threat to their family, Arminius and Thusnelda face a much greater danger.
Season 2 will also focus on Thusnelda’s connection with Arminius and Folkwin. We do know that she is pregnant with Arminius’ baby by the end of the first season. History enthusiasts know that the Battle of Teutoburg Forest significantly affected how the Roman conquest proceeded, opening up a slew of exciting possibilities for Barbarians season 2.
