Is there a Painkiller Season 2 release date?
No Painkiller Season 2 release date is planned after the original series ended on August 10, 2023.
It was developed as a limited series and brought the story to a definitive end with 6 episodes. Beyond this, there isn’t much left to tell, so we shouldn’t expect another season to happen. It explores the Sackler Family, who are described as the “most evil family in America.” They were “the worst drug dealers in history” and were responsible for distributing OxyContin, leading to an opioid crisis in America.
The Netflix series stars Uzo Adubaas as Edie Flowers and Taylor Kitsch as Glen Kryger in crucial leads. Along with them, we see Matthew Broderick as Richard Sackler, Clark Gregg as Arthur Sackler, John Rothman as Mortimer Sackler, West Duchovny as Shannon Schaeffer, Carolina Bartczak as Lily Kryger, Jack Mulhern as Tyler Kryger, and Dina Shihabi as Britt Hufford.

The official synopsis of the series reads:
“Painkiller, a fictionalized telling of real events, explores some of the origins and aftermath of the opioid crisis in America, highlighting the stories of perpetrators, victims, and truth-seekers whose lives are forever altered by the invention of OxyContin.”
