The Toys That Made Us Season 2 Confirmed by Netflix
The Toys That Made Us made its debut on Netflix last December, manifesting a four-episode documentary series that taps a pop culture vein that’s not typically acknowledged, providing profound (nostalgia-evoking) insight on the most popular lines of toys in history. The series was a tremendous success and evoked a flood of positive responses. Now, the viewers who have been left in suspense wondering if Netflix will do a second season will get some great news.
Netflix has made it official that The Toys That Made Us Season 2 has been ordered! The series is the passion-fueled brainchild of creator/executive producer Brian Volk-Weiss. Season 1 of The Toys that Made Us kicked off by delving deep into the story of the Star Wars movie IP-transforming toy empire, followed by Barbie, He-Man/Masters of the Universe and G.I. Joe.
The Toys that Made Us Season 2 Episodes
While the lineup of The Toys That Made Us Season 2 has not been confirmed, creator Volk-Weiss recently talked with Den of Geek and confirmed that, “We’re definitely – if we get picked up – gonna do a Power Rangers episode.” He also stated that a (then-prospective) order for four more episodes would also yield coverage of heavies such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, rounded out with Wrestling (WWE).
Volk-Weiss also expressed plans beyond that to shift focus to modern companies that serve the adult collector demographic such as McFarlane Toys, Funko and NECA. Additionally, there are plans to delve into some arcane depths, with episodes focused on the more notoriously ludicrous and/or unsuccessful toy lines.
Indeed, creator Volk-Weiss, The Nacelle Company, along with executive producers Tom Stern, Cisco Henson, Anne Carkeet and Edwin Zane, are heading back to work for The Toys That Made Us Season 2, likely as we speak.
The Toys That Made Us Season 2 Release Date
The Toys That Made Us Season 2, while confirmed, has yet to announce a release date. The first season made a timely Christmas season arrival on Netflix December 22, 2017. A repeat of that general timeframe for 2018 is probably a safe bet for Season 2.
