Netflix fans are clamoring for a second season of Supacell just days after its release on the streaming platform.
After watching the first season in one night, viewers praised the sci-fi as “informative and eye-opening” and some admitted to “staying up all night.”
The six-part drama Supacell stars Tosin Cole as lead protagonist Michael Lasaki, a delivery driver with the ability to teleport and manipulate time.
He is joined by Adelayo Adedayo as Dionne Ofori, Michael’s fiancée, and Eddie Marsan, whose character is trying to hunt them down.
From showrunner and British rapper Andrew Onwubolu (Rapman), the show has been praised by fans.

After watching the first season in one night, viewers praised the sci-fi as “informative and eye-opening” and some admitted to “staying up all night.”
Sharing their thoughts on X, one person wrote: ‘I need ALL of you to get interested in Supacell. The way this show managed to be entertaining thanks to its fantasy and sci-fi side, but also so informative and eye-opening, was truly a beautiful surprise. Sickle cell anaemia isn’t talked about enough! I need a season 2 FAST.’
Others added: “Make sure you give Supacell a double thumbs up after watching the series in one go. That’s how we’ll get a second season.” “I need that second season of Supacell with speed and efficiency.”
‘Supacell is a sci-fi, thriller, romance and drama series all in one, with themes like sickle cell awareness, minority kidnapping awareness and much more. A very smart and well thought out show. It deserves many more seasons and I think it will get them.’
“Hey Netflix, I don’t care about anything else. Just sign me up for a second season of #Supacell. That’s it.” “I’m 30 minutes into SupaCell and I know I’ll have to watch the show straight through.”
“Supacell has been one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. I’m going to need season 2 immediately!”; “Supacell is so good. I’ll be up all night.”
This bold, six-part British take on the superhero story is set in South London, where we meet several people struggling to make ends meet (including one played by Tosin Cole) who have powers they never knew existed.
Other threads that come together in the opening episode include a series of missing persons reports, a sinister facility that appears to be holding people, and an overly helpful woman at a hospital.
Similar to Channel 4’s Misfits, Supacell is less a comedy and more a deep dive into the lives of its characters, making the most of its South London setting in the process.

For anyone living in South London, it will be clear how much of the show was actually filmed where it claims to be, adding to the sense of authenticity.
As the story unfolds, viewers see that the show is not only good at being believable and telling good stories about the lives of ordinary people.
It’s also got a pretty meaty superhero story in its pocket, one that’s executed with all of Marvel’s heady cinematic panache.
