Nigeria’s first young-adult drama is now streaming on Netflix in the form of Far From Home, a five-episode splice of teen shenanigans and a crime plot about a young aspiring artist trying to better the lives of himself and his family at the prestigious Wilmer Academy. Taking that basic premise of shows like Elite and giving it a fairly distinct vibe helps to position Far From Home as a worthwhile outing in an overstuffed genre, and those who discover and enjoy it may be wondering about its future.
Here’s everything we know.
Will there be a Far From Home Season 2?
Renewed or canceled status: TBC
At the time of writing, we have no official word about the future of the series. As ever, Netflix will be waiting to see how the show performs both critically and in terms of watch hours, and they’ll be monitoring the drop-off of those viewing figures especially. With certain high-profile cancelations recently, most notably of Warrior Nun, it’s clear that the streaming giant really isn’t willing to take any chances on shows that don’t perform like gangbusters.
The chances of Far From Home developing that kind of following are slim, at best. In part, this is Netflix’s own fault since the marketing for the show has been appalling, even to the extent that simply finding basic materials like promotional posters has been difficult for those of us actually trying to give the show some coverage. It doesn’t seem like Netflix has put much money behind this, and on that level, it seems unlikely that they’d put more in outside of it being an enormous success.
Will it be? That’s harder to say, though I’m tempted to say no given it’s a slight series — just five episodes — in a very crowded field. It’s decent, but it’s not so good as to really become a huge talking point. However, Netflix clearly values its African content, and many offerings have been not only well received but have run for multiple seasons, such as Blood & Water. Far From Home might enjoy that level of success but in all likelihood, it won’t.
Artistically speaking, there’s definitely some mileage left in the story. The season finale saw a central character take control of a criminal empire, and many of the students, including the protagonist Ishaya, didn’t completely round out their arcs. If the fan interest is there then the story might logically follow, but we predict that Far From Home will not be renewed for a second season.
I wish it comes oo

That isn’t fair enough, there should be a second season. With the way thing ends there should be a second season as it as not been concluded yet. I personally could add to the story and give it a better conclusion.
Please Netflix release to us the season 2, Ishaya should at least achieve his dreams

I want ishaya and Carmen to have a better end at least.
I thank the producers and we are waiting for season 2, don’t let us down
This show is great … So much to be settled you can’t leave the fans like this ..bring it back Netflix..
Please We really want the continuation of this movie, Netflix please try making something out to make it happen.
It will be a sin if Netflix doesn’t continue with this series. All I see n experienced while watching was similar to what it was for me watching POWER n especially James St Patrick. This FFH movie has d capacity to clear all awards both locally n internationally if the cast n crew put in their all…n I see ishaya eventually making it to Hollywood in d future. Netflix abeg na God I take beg una
Never experienced such a lovely dramatic movie so far in Nigeria movie industry,p pleas there must be season 2 and there must be a happy ending for both kids (ishaya Bello and Carmen wilmer)
Yeah, the movie was fire, i must confess but there has to be another at least for it to end well, cause to me all the episodes where awesome but didn’t well, and I’m sure that Nollywood, are certainly cooking something up, please Netflix give them another shot at it I’m sure they’ll deliver
There has to be a season 2. I’m excited to know what is going to happen. Also it’s Nigeria first black film. It’s excellent especially for the black culture. Awesome job you guys. Please make a season 2, 3, 4, and 5.
i cant wait for the season 2 please when will it be out yo the movie make my boxing day

OMG
This film caught my love for Nollywood.
Initially I don’t really like Nollywood movies but this ?? it’s a No No No
I really fell in love with this movie ?
This movie is too deep for it not to have season 2,we all really appreciate the writer of this movie “can’t wait for the season 2” love you all ?
Make unah do season 2 at least nah chaii you guy’s shouldn’t keep us hanging gosshh
Watch it and loved it. Refreshing and speaks to what happens in our current society. Would really like to see a continuation of this African film. I Hope Netflix promotes it.
Must have to release season two pls
Pls do the episode 6
The movie is so inspiring and motivating same time. When family calls in this Naija as a first born u need miracle to answer. I can’t blame Ishaya for his decisions. Unstable being always, till things totally get right.
Neflix pls, we need season two or better still the continuation. Please
I would love it if there was a S2 for this show. I think it was well written and had me on the edge of my seat so to speak. The characters are great and the actors even better. Making it such a believable story line. I’m definitely invested and will await S2 in anticipation. Netflix do the right thing and renew the season. Give these producers a chance to show case their talents as well as the actors and the rest of the crew.
Season 2 please
I really enjoy watching this movie its a blast and I can’t wait to watch the season 2. I wish is released very soon
I can’t wait for season 2 to come out oo ??
Because they must be a appropriate ending to this move . please Netflix give Africa the chance ??
Damn season 2 is a must can’t believe Nollywood did something this great..I applaud them so please Netflix give Nollywood a chance am desperate to watch the season 2 abeg ,,
Now, this is what I call “movie”. So thrilling, interesting, suspenseful, intense, educative, emotial, funny and critical. I love the concrete and maured display. I am not a Nigerian movie fan but this is something else. I love this! More wins to the producers and all worked together to bring this super scenes to our screens. Love y’all.
New season or episode Far From Home and for Blood & Water
Season 2 please of Far way from home
I watched all 5 episodes at a go despite doing other things… It’s matured and very captivating… I praybits renewed for a second season. Applause goes to all involved in this movie…
Season 2 will be more interesting as season 1 didn’t end well because Rambo one day will find his way out
Wow this drama is super cool pls nflix do something sharp
Season 2 oo abeg make I no die
I wish the season two came out soon, I can’t wait to watch it to see ishaya living a happy ending with Carmen and others
Please I beg you in the of God let there be season 2 pls ? I mean you can’t just end it there without a conclusion ?
Abeg bring season 2 i believe there is cause that end like that , that would be nonsense
We really need the season 2 of this movie
Netflix you need to release season 2 ASAP
I am dying for it.
If there will be no season 2, then why make us watch season 1?
You have to finish this.
Please let there be another season for it I love the movie so much
This movie won’t make any sense without season 2 na.
Kiniyi Ko make sense Rara Naa pls we dey really wait with high hopes don’t fall our hands .
Please my own be say season 2 just dey ,it will be released soon.
We really hungry for Season 2…We beg oo I can’t continue watching my lovely guy Ishaya…
This show is super dope. It deserves continuation.
The show is free of flaws. I am sure the director and the actors and actresses put in their best to make the show one óf a kind, and i tell the effort paid off cus everything about the movie is cool. From the directors work, to that of the actresses and actors, the cinematographer and the rest of them. Infact, kudos to you all.
Please you people should not disappoint us by not shooting the rest of the series
