Will Quarterback season 2 happen?

What we know so far about a potential second season for Quarterback

The poster for season 1 of Quarterback

After a hugely successful first season on Netflix, Quarterback seemed like a sure bet for a second season. The show, which documented three NFL quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota) as they prepared for the upcoming season, was a unique insight into the lives of professional athletes and also gave us a look at the personal lives of people who we usually only see wearing helmets.

Now, though, that second season is in doubt, as there's been no official confirmation that the season is coming from Netflix. Here's what we know about whether there will be a second season, and if there is, who might be involved.

The 8 best Davidoff cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024

Davidoff Escurio and Aniversario cigars up close by Briley Kenney from The Manual

Davidoff cigars are first-rate, and you'll rarely, if ever, find a poorly constructed stick. There's a reason for that, and it's analogous to the brand's history. Its founder, Zino Davidoff, is renowned for prioritizing quality and craftsmanship. To understand his dedication, let's take a quick look back at history.
A brief history of Davidoff

A young Zino Davidoff became fascinated with creating his own cigars. But unlike his family, namely his father, who had already been in the industry for years, Zino wanted to do things a little differently. He traveled the world, visiting South and Central America and, of course, Cuba, studying and working with cigars directly. Around the 1930s, he pursued an official license and began his legacy, borrowing everything he learned to craft his own cigars, including the growing conditions he observed in Cuba.

This Amazon Prime crime show just got a second season — before it even debuts

Amazon Prime Video is betting on this new series

In an era when more and more studios and streaming services are cutting costs, it can be surprising to see a studio be so confident in a property that they give it multiple seasons before a single episode has aired. In the case of Amazon Prime Video's new series, Cross, though, that's exactly what happened.

The show, which is based on James Patterson's best-selling novels about a detective and forensic pathologist who analyzes the minds of killers as he works to catch them, has been renewed for a second season before its first season has premiered. The show stars Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross and also stars Ryan Eggold, Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Johnny Ray Gill, Eloise Mumford and Siobhan Murphy.
