Despite its undeniable success, it seems difficult today to imagine a season 2 for At the dawn of America on Netflix. What if the series could return in another form? Its creator opens the door.
At the dawn of America made a sensational arrival on Netflix. The series tells the story of a brutal moment in American history, where different communities clash violently. After surviving so many dangers, the finale of Netflix’s number 2 series, behind season 2 of XO, Kittysees Isaac (Taylor Kitsch) die. The character was one of the most interesting in the series, the only remaining option to further explore his story would be to offer a prequel. The creator of the series, Peter Berg, mentioned this possibility.
At the dawn of America (Netflix): spin-offs rather than a season 2?
He, in fact, confirmed that there were discussions around a potential American spin-off ofAt the dawn of America. “We talk about it [d’un préquel] Right now. That’s what we would do if we had to continue the story, and I don’t know if we will, but that’s what we would do.”he revealed. At the dawn of America was designed like a mini-series with an ending that leaves little room for a natural and obvious sequel. Obviously, viewers would like to know what happened to Two Moons (Shawnee Pourier), Devin (Preston Mota), and Sara (Betty Gilpin) after Isaac’s death and their decision to head to California. “I think that in one way or another, we could continue (…) If Julie O’Keefe [la consultante en culture indigène] came back, I would be ready to discuss”had already confided Peter Berg in an interview given to the American site Decider about a possible season 2. Rather than a second season therefore, if At the dawn of America returned, it would rather be in the form of a spin-off.

We had to stop for five months, and Preston hit puberty and gained eight centimeters [de taille]his voice changed and he started to grow hair on his face.”detailed the creator ofAt the dawn of America. “It would be a real leap in time to keep this team going, but the idea of looking back is really interesting to me.”said Peter Berg again. It remains to be seen if and when the project will see the light of day…
