Carnival Row is returning to Prime Video for its second and final season on the streaming service. The series, starring Orlando Bloom, follows a human detective and a fairy who rekindle a dangerous affair in a Victorian fantasy world, where the city's uneasy peace collapses when a string of murders reveal an unimaginable monster. The show first premiered in 2019, taking three long years to return for another outing. The two leads, Cara Delevigne and Orlando Bloom, will return to their roles of Vignette Stonemoss and Rycroft Philostrate, respectively.
Prime Video released an official synopsis for Carnival Row season 2, which reads:
"In a fantasy world where humans and creatures clash, Season Two of Carnival Row picks up with former inspector Rycroft Philostrate aka Philo (Orlando Bloom) investigating a series of gruesome murders stoking social tension. Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne) and the Black Raven plot payback for the unjust oppression inflicted by The Burgue’s human leaders, Jonah Breakspear (Arty Froushan) and Sophie Longerbane (Caroline Ford). Tourmaline Larou (Karla Crome) inherits supernatural powers that threaten her fate and the future of The Row. And, after escaping The Burgue and her vengeful brother Ezra (Andrew Gower), Imogen Spurnrose (Tamzin Merchant) and her partner Agreus Astrayon (David Gyasi) encounter a radical new society which upends their plans. With humans and fae folk divided and freedom on the line, each hero will face impossible dilemmas and soul-defining tests in the epic conclusion of Carnival Row."
