Hit and Run Season 2: After a one-day launch, Netflix’s Hit and Run placed in the top ten. It also made the Nielsen top 10 lists of original streaming shows three weeks after its debut.
Hit and Run was favorably appreciated by reviewers and audiences alike, receiving 70 percent or higher ratings in official reviews and crowd comments.
Its first season premiered on August 6, 2021.
What is Hit and Run All About?
Raz and Avi Issacharoff, co-creators and executive producers of the Netflix series Dawn Prestwich, Fauda, and Nicole Yorkin, creators of the Amazon comedy Z: The Beginning of Everything, developed and wrote Hit and Run.
Segev (Raz), a happily married guy, has his life upside down when his wife is killed in a mystery hit-and-run tragedy in Tel Aviv.
He is bereaved and confused as he searches for his wife’s assassins, who have fled to the United States. He discovers frightening realities about his beloved wife and the secrets she withheld from him with the help of an ex-lover, Naomi Hicks (Lathan).
In light of the kidnapping that ended Season 1, setting Segev on a new path, showrunners Prestwich and Yorkin have stated in interviews that they hoped the series would last at least two or three seasons.
Hit and Run Season 2 Expected Plot
Season 1 delivers a story full of unexpected turns and stunning surprises that leaves many questions unresolved.
At the end of Hit and Run Season 1, Segev had discovered that the woman he thought was his wife “Danielle” was a CIA agent named Sophie who had uncovered an espionage scheme with enormous repercussions for US-Israeli relations.
In the episode’s final minutes, he also heard that his ex-wife Shira had been murdered and his daughter Ella (Moran Rosenblatt) had gone missing.

It’s difficult to predict where the rumored second season of Hit and Run will take fans.
However, now that Segev has discovered the truth about his wife’s identity, learned the secrets she was most likely murdered for and has become personally involved in the dangerous international conspiracy, we suspect that Season 2 will shift away from “Danielle’s” mysterious death and focus more on the immediate story.
Ella’s kidnapping may play a similar narrative function in Season 2 to how “Danielle’s” murder was the central topic around which Season 1 revolved.
But, all of this is just a theory for such time being. We’ll need to wait and see what Netflix will have planned for Hit and Run Season 2 if (or, more likely, when) it renews it.
Hit and Run Season 2 Expected Cast
Hit and Run is a true espionage thriller, which means no one is truly safe. Therefore it’s natural that it killed of several key characters in Season 1.
Although the program uses flashbacks to expand out its plot, it’s safe to assume that the majority of the characters that perished in Season 1 will not be returning in future parts.
That still leaves us with a few characters who were still alive as the final episode’s credits rolled.
Naomi, Segev, Tali, and Martin will most likely play a role in Season 2, which means Lior Raz, Sanaa Lathan, Moran Rosenblatt, and Gregg Henry will most likely return.
Although her death is the fuel for the action in Season 1, “Danielle” nevertheless featured periodically thanks to flashbacks that expanded the facts of the character’s secret double life.
However, we’ve already learned a lot about her in Season 1, and as the finale’s cliffhanger suggests, Segev now has some rather pressing immediate worries to deal. That could imply that Season 2 will devote less time to “Danielle’s” past.
Ohm appears to be the most likely to be missing or have a significantly reduced role in Season 2 of all the big cast members that may return.
So, when can we expect Season 2, who might return for the next part, and where can the story take us? Let’s look at what we know so far about the Hit and Run Season 2 release date.
Hit and Run Season 2 Release Date
Unfortunately, Netflix has decided not to renew the global espionage thriller Hit and Run for a second season. Even though it was co-created, executive produced and starred Fauda’s Lior Raz.
The announcement comes around a month and a half after Season 1, which ended on a dramatic cliffhanger.
