The show is one of the most-searched television releases of 2026, and for good reason. The post-apocalyptic drama, starring Sterling K. Brown and set in a city-sized underground bunker in Colorado three years after a doomsday event, comes in the wake of a smash-hit first season.

It garnered seven million views globally within its first nine days of streaming, and was the ninth most-streamed show from Q1 2025, with 3.9 billion minutes of watch time, according to Luminate. It also earned several nominations at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards in May 2025, including one for Outstanding Drama Series.

Season 2 released on Monday, Feb. 23, 2026. It returns just over a year after the first season debuted on Jan. 26, 2025, and as early reviews attested, viewers are in for a wild ride.

Currently sitting at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes compared to last season’s 86%, the critical consensus is it’s even better.
