Netflix dropped the big news for the Ratched fans as soon as the series was revealed. As the series was initially ordered for two seasons and now after the immense success of Season 1, we hope the creators will extend the show and we will get more thrilling seasons to witness.
As per the leaks coming out from Elle.com, the series may be extended to more seasons as Paulson, who plays a crucial character, has revealed the same. However, the makers have not passed any official confirmation yet.
In an interview, Paulson revealed, “We are definitely dropping the second season soon, but if it goes well, the plan would be to do around two more seasons.” She further added, “And in the fourth installment, we will end up in the Cuckoo’s Nest era.” This appears to be a positive sign for all the Ratched series fans.

Ratched Season 2 Release Date – When Will The New Season Drop?
Though the creators have confirmed that the second season of Ratched is surely coming and it will be even darker, intense, and thrilling, the official release date is not yet confirmed. Back in September 2020, Paulson revealed in an interview, “Noone knows anything about Ratched Season 2 as Ryan, with tons of things he has going on, who’s to know when that’s going to start, and you throw in the covid-19 pandemic and then we think well who knows.”
So, it’s pretty obvious that we can’t expect a new season of Ratched before 2022. So, we can speculate about the official debut of Ratched Season 2 in mid-2022.
