Colin Farrell discusses how many seasons Sugar could go on for
Apple TV’s Sugar, featuring Colin Farrell as a private investigator, John Sugar, may be in it for the long haul. The second season arrives on Friday, but the leading star believes the sci-fi show has the potential to expand.
Speaking with Collider, Farrell expressed his ambitions for Sugar to continue beyond Season 2. In fact, he wants it to have five seasons in total.
When asked to tease what fans can expect from Season 2 and beyond in terms of the series’ sci-fi aspects and mythology, the actor said, “It’s explored a little bit more. It’s deepened a little bit more through a certain very important personal relationship that Sugar has. But I would love to get four or five seasons out of this.”
The show’s first season left everyone speechless when Episode 6 revealed a shocking twist. Farrell’s character, who initially was shown to be a Los Angeles private investigator, turned out to be an alien operating on Earth.
In the second season, Farrell is joined by new cast members including Jin Ha, Raymond Lee, Tony Dalton, Laura Donnelly, and Sasha Calle. Shea Whigham will appear in a guest role.
Sugar has Mark Protosevich as the creator and Sam Catlin as the showrunner, who is also the executive producer. Farrell, Scott Greenberg, and Chip Vucelich are also executive producing alongside Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg.
Following its Season 1 premiere in 2024, the show has fared well with both critics and audience, currently holding a stellar 81% Tomatometer score and 80% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes. Ahead of its debut, the second season has already earned a perfect score of 100% from early reviews at the time of this article’s publication.
Sugar Season 2 premieres on Apple TV on June 19, 2026.
