Netflix’s critically acclaimed hit series Ratched has been on the streaming service for a long time. The show is based on the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo ‘s Nest from 1962, but what does it mean for viewers that are worried about a season 2?
When is the Ratched Season 2 Coming Out?
A dark hit series, Ratched will be returning for a second season. Netflix revealed that the series has gained momentum since its launch and due to growing popularity of the original show, which centers on a nurse who goes to extreme measures in order to help patients in her care at an asylum while also keeping order amongst her fellow psychiatric staff.
The Ratched Season 2 of American Horror Story aired recently. However it is suggested that a second season was ordered three years ago in this piece from The Hollywood Reporter.
Creator Ryan Murphy states that “The first season was just sort of introducing the world, and you slowly find out who everyone is and how they all fit together. And then in the second season, I would say it’s going to be a little bit more ramped up with horror and sort of the stakes are going to be raised… Last year was extremely dark; it ended in almost a feeling of Armageddon. There is a little bit of that feeling this year, but there’s also a lot more hope with some of these characters.”

Who is in the Cast of Ratched Season 2?
Without Sarah Paulson, our leading woman, Ratched would not be Ratched.
It’s also quite likely that Cynthia Nixon will reprise her role as Gwendolyn Briggs, her love interest and lawyer, and Finn Wittrock will reprise his role as Edmund Tolleson, her deranged brother.
Sophie Okonedo as Charlotte Wells, Brandon Flynn as Henry Osgood, Judy Davis as Nurse Betsy Bucket, Amanda Plummer as Louise, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Governor George Milburn are among the cast members who are expected to return.
However, there are a few characters who did not make it past the first season.
So, unless they reappear in flashback, we’ve seen the last of Dr. Richard Hanover (Jon Jon Briones), nurse Huck Finnigan (Charlie Carver), Lenore Osgood (Sharon Stone), Dolly (Alice Englert), Charles Wainwright (Corey Stoll), and Harold (Jon Jon Briones) (Jermaine Williams).
Although no new cast members have been announced, we wouldn’t be surprised if any new patients arrive at Lucia State.
What are the Plot Details for Ratched Season 2?
Season two ended far differently than Ryan Murphy and the writers had planned, with Nurse Ratched and Briggs starting a new life in Mexico together, and Nurse Bucket taking over Lucia State.
Briggs, who had been diagnosed with cancer, discovered that she was in remission thanks to a revolutionary medicine connected to mistletoe.
But initially, she was meant to die – and we wouldn’t say she’s out of the woods just yet.
“It was not going to be a happy ending at the end of season one, and [the creators] changed it,” Nixon told. “There were a bunch of characters that were originally slated to die, and they changed their minds”
On top of that, Ratched’s brother Edmund is out and on the run alongside Charlotte, who has multiple personalities, and his girlfriend Louise.
After realising his sister planned to kill him, he’s not going to let that lie, and may will now be out for vengeance.
The pair will undoubtedly meet again, but will they be able to build bridges?
Ultimately, the series is careering towards the events of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, but how we get there is anyone’s guess at the moment.
Whatever happens, Mildred will be sure to go through the wringer to twist her into the evil and power hungry nurse we know she becomes.
“I think if we end up in that era, it would be more about Nurse Ratched’s life when she turned the key in her white uniform, coming back into her house from those days at the hospital with all those events that happened there,” she told.
Are There Any Trailers for Ratched Season 2?

What Other News is There About Ratched Seaaon 2?
Ratched will have a “two-season, 18-episode order,” according to the same story from The Hollywood Reporter, which indicates we can expect at most 10 episodes in the second season. Those ten episodes may be all we need to see the series come to a close.
We may also anticipate each episode being roughly an hour long.
There is no official announcement on when the second season of the TV show will begin production. It doesn’t appear that the new season will begin production anytime soon as of December 2021.
