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.

Season one was alright. Don’t think I’ll watch two.

@Ronan3Accuser - I never got past episode 7. Surprised I held on that long. Won't be watching season 2 when there is so, so many better shows out there.

I heard this show was planning on making the jump to Freeform.

Will season 2 air on Hulu?

@Armageddon26 - Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification. I found a story online detailing it a bit:

So does this show and C&D exist in MCU like the Netflix Marvel shows?

@SimpleeComplex - Cloak & Dagger has made specific mentions of Netflix MCU characters (Misty Knight), so that one is definitely set in the same universe.

I don't know about Runaways though, that's why I asked if it was making the jump to Freeform. If it does, I assume it will be connected to C&D, and since that's definitely connected to Netflix MCU...

@VisionWitch - Yeah, there wasn't a connection or mention of any of the Netflix MCU shows (or a mention of C&D for that matter) in season one of the Runaways.

@SimpleeComplex - This show is the furthest from the MCU with only real small Easter eggs. C&D haven’t made any big MCU references but they have Roxxon in an important role and they had a back and forth in terms of references with Luke Cage

@Armageddon26 - Correct me if I'm wrong, but Roxxon hasn't been mentioned in the Netflix MCU at all, has it?
Armageddon26
Armageddon26 - 8/1/2018, 1:51 PM
@L0RDbuckethead - Daredevil has mentioned and shown it quite a few times I believe. Jessica Jones and Iron Fist seasons 1 also mentioned Roxxon too, I’m pretty sure

Season one was a real slow burn that felt like half of a first season. I enjoyed it but was left disappointed at not much really happening besides a whole lot of character work, but the characters were handled well enough for me to want to watch season 2.

I’m not super familiar with the the comics though, any ideas who the characters they hinted at introducing could be?

@aflynn - sadly doubtful as Karolina is with Nico currently (and lord knows there is no way they would break those two up no matter how forced the relationship feels) and the skrulls won’t debut until March and VIctor MANcha kelt to come before.
