Secret Level has concluded its first season, but more episodes are on the way.
Amazon Prime video has officially renewed Secret Level for a second season. The animated anthology, which adapted video games like Pac-Man, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and Mega Man, only recently concluded its first season this week. Clearly, the series has proven successful enough for Amazon to immediately order more episodes from creator Tim Miller.
Secret Level returning for more episodes in Season 2
Amazon Prime Video’s animated series Secret Level anthology made waves in the game industry this year, when it was announced to adapt multiple gaming properties - from the likes of Dungeons and Dragons to Armored Core - in a series of standalone episodes. The series premiered with eight episodes on December 10, 2024, followed by seven more episodes on December 17, 2024, concluding its first season.
However, it took Amazon less than 48 hours to announce that the series would be returning for a second season - though which gaming properties this new batch of episodes might adapt remain a mystery. Its quick renewal is no such mystery: Secret Level became Amazon’s most-watched animated series debut of all time within its first week, surpassing the streamer’s previous hits like Vox Machina and Invincible.
Exact viewing numbers have not been made public, but Luminate reports that the series was viewed for a total of 155.3 million minutes in the United States alone in its first week, which only includes the series’ first eight episodes (Variety). Amazon is not shy about handing series renewals to its more popular gaming adaptations either, as evidenced by Fallout Season 2 going into production.
Secret Level’s second batch of episodes, released earlier this week, offers viewers the final remaining piece of lore they can scrounge up for the failed PlayStation Studios game Concord. Series creator Tim Miller previously noted that the Concord episode “shows the potential of this world,” even if the game itself is now defunct.
