Season 1 of Hulu and Marvel’s Runaways proved successful enough to warrant a second season, but even though filming began back in June, we didn’t know when the sophomore season would premiere.
Thankfully, TV Line’s Matt Mitovich attended a recent set visit where it was revealed that the Marvel drama will return sometime this winter. While it's not an exact date, fans of the series are undoubtedly happy to hear that Season 2 will air before the year comes to a close.
Along with the new information on the premiere date, showrunner Josh Schwartz also hinted at what's to come for the young heroes now that they’ve embraced their namesake and are in hiding.
“In the real world, young people are dealing with adult themes.” Schwartz explained. “The world the adults are leaving young people, there’s a responsibility on young people to fix this world. It feels so broken in so many ways. That is also a theme for our characters and for the show.”
In addition to these details, Schwartz teased that “some characters who appear in the book” will make their debut in Season 2. While this doesn't give fans much to go on, the showrunner did describe these new roles as popular.
