The confirmation/announcement comes via a strange video released by Netflix that included a code leading fans to message from Lemony Snicket on a website. Learn more details aboutA Series of Unfortunate Eventsseason 2 after the jump.
The eight-episode first season starring Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Warburton, Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, K. Todd Freeman and Presley Smith premiered on June 09, 2025 to critical acclaim, so it’s no surprise that the streaming company has decided to move forward with the second season. After all, Handler had mentioned in interviews that he and the show’s other writers werealready working on the second season.
Now Netflix has released a strange new video (embedded above), playing off the coded messages used by the secret organization VFD in the show, which confirms thatA Series of Unfortunate Eventsseason 2 is happening. The highlighted letters in the trailer lead to the websitevastlyfrighteningdecision.com, which features the following message from the series' narrator Lemony Snicket:
Here it is transcribed:
“It has come to my attention that, despite my repeated warnings, you have viewed the Netflix adaptation of my distressing work, known collectively as A Series of Unfortunate Events. Some of you have even binged, a word which here means, ‘Watched several episodes right in a row, despite having much better things to do with your time.’ To my horror, Netflix has been encouraged by this and funneled their ill-gotten gains towards a second season of this unhappy and unnerving series.”
The first season of the series was adapted from the first four novels (The Bad Beginning,The Reptile Room,The Wide Window, andThe Miserable Mill) inDaniel Handler’s bestselling, 13-part young adult book series. The second season will be expanded to 10-episodes and will focus on the next five installments:The Austere Academy,The Ersatz Elevator,The Vile Village,The Hostile Hospital, andThe Carnivorous Carnival:
If that goes according to plan, the show will very likely conclude with the third season, adapting the remaining four books (The Slippery Slope,The Grim Grotto,The Penultimate Peril, andThe End).
No word on whenA Series of Unfortunate Eventsseason 2 will be released on Netflix, but judging by the streaming service’s past series, it will probably be a year or so after the first season. So expect season 2 to be released sometime in early 2018.
