The Darkest Minds is an American science fiction futuristic thriller run by Jennifer Yuh Nelson. The story is based on a young person novel of the same name by Alexandra Bracken. The basic premise follows a group of adolescents who’ve been on the run from the authorities, secretly gaining super-powers. Although the film was not well regarded critically, it managed to make a profit, taking in $41.1 million globally, on a budget of about $30 million. Besides, lovers of books have enjoyed it, and they’re searching for more.
It is highly likely for ‘The Darkest Minds’ to have a sequel because there is more subject matter to deal with. Bracken’s series includes more books besides ‘The Darkest Minds,’ including ‘Never Disappear’ and ‘In the After light.’ The author already has three more novels that throw light on the series, which can be included in ‘Through the Dark.’ Besides, given the rise of young adult science fiction, and the director himself hinting at his intention to revert to the characters, we should anticipate a sequel to ‘The Darkest Minds,’ anywhere along the road.
More brief information about The Darkest Minds season 2:
You would, of course, ask what the ‘Darkest Minds’ series could be about. As far as Jennifer Yuh Nelson is involved, she has made it clear that no buttons have been drawn for the first movie, and that she has provided the best film possible. It is also doubtful that the ‘Darkest Minds’ sequel would deal with any more of the subject matter from the first novel. In fact, the story is likely to be based on the source material of ‘Never Fade,’ the second novel in the series.
When we move on to get acquainted with the story of ‘Never Fade,’ you can bear in mind that Bracken herself said that, once her novel is turned into a film, there are different people who weigh in and give their opinions. This adds to a lot of embellishment and streamlining. Thus, if ‘Never Fade’ is turned into a sequel film, the specifics of the story may be somewhat different from what we’re describing below. But we’re going to see Ruby, our orange-eyed, mind-controlling girl, go back to the plot.
Who are the characters of The Darkest Minds season 2?
In the case that there is a return to ‘The Darkest Minds,’ it’s fairly easy to determine who the members of the cast are most likely to be back in the movie. The ‘Darkest Minds’ characters that also feature in the series are Ruby Daly, Liam Stewart, Clancy Gray, and Chubs.
But we’re likely to see Amandla Stenberg, Harris Dickinson, Patrick Gibson, and Skylan Brooks take over their positions. There are, of course, a variety of new characters to be added in the movie. And, the cast will expand as new actors arrive to fill those roles.
The crew of The Darkest Minds season 2:
The Darkest Minds’ was led by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who had already made it known that she would leap at the opportunity to make another film. She said how much she enjoyed the characters, or how much the actors got out of being on the set with each other. The director said that since they were good friends, she couldn’t wait to get back together. So, in the case of a sequel, Yuh Nelson will certainly be on board. Chad Hodge may as well be coming back as a scriptwriter. But apart from that, we can’t be sure at this stage.
When is it going to launch?
‘The Darkest Minds’ was announced on 3 August 2018. However, in 2014, 20th Century Fox bought the rights to the film. It took four years for the whole project to come along. Since the license to ‘Never Fade’ has not yet been purchased, the earliest we can foresee a sequel to ‘The Darkest Minds’ will be in 2022 or 2023. Of course, once the film is underway, casting does not take as long as the first times, as some of the members of the cast are likely to return to the continuation.
