Netflix Reveals Altered Carbon Season 2 Release Date With New Teaser

Netflix is (finally) bringing back Altered Carbon for season 2, and now we know just when that long-awaited return is happening. Netflix dropped a new teaser for Altered Carbon season 2 (see the video above), and it also happens to serve as the show’s official premiere date announcement. You can catch Altered Carbon season 2 streaming on Netflix, staring on February 27th. Fans of the series (based on the sci-fi books by Richard K. Morgan) are basically going to be on the same plane as newcomers: thanks to Altered Carbon‘s premise of people switching in and out of bodies, we’re getting a new cast and noir mystery storylien to follow.

Altered Carbon season 1 star Joel Kinnaman is out and taking his place is Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier star, Anthony Mackie. Our protagonist will still be Takeshi Kovacs, with Mackie being the new “skin” that the soldier-turned-investigator inhabits. For those counting, that means that in the series Kovacs’ main forms will have been two Asian men (Will Yun Lee, Byron Mann), a white man (Kinnaman), and a black man (Mackie). That’s being “woke” on a whole other level…

Almost a year ago(!) Netflix dropped the first big teaser and casting reveal for Altered Carbon season 2, which you can check out below. Since that time, Power star Lela Loren has also joined the cast.
