The Blood Sacrifice cast and creator have big ideas for season two"},"content":{"rendered":"

Blood Sacrifice is the slow-burn crime series you should be binge-watching this week. And if you\u2019ve already done so, you\u2019ll no doubt be wondering whether Netflix<\/a> plans on greenlighting season two.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Netflix mini-series is a tight five episodes long, but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality, and clearly many agree. Season one is currently in third place on the Netflix top 10 chart in the US. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story itself centres on Thomas (Jakob Oftebro), a Stockholm detective who must team up with his estranged ex-cop father Alfred (Peter Andersson) to catch a ritualistic serial killer targeting police officers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although Blood Sacrifice wraps up its central murder mystery, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we’ve seen the last of Thomas and Alfred.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Netflix<\/a> is yet to renew the series for a second season, but that\u2019s not unusual given it only just dropped on August 20th. Plus, it\u2019s marketed as \u201cseason one\u201d rather than a \u201climited series\u201d, meaning it could be open to continuation down the line. <\/span><\/p>\n

Until then, Oftebro, Andersson and Blood Sacrifice creator George Kay told <\/span>Filmtopp<\/span><\/a> that they want season two to happen, with the outlet saying it looks like a \u201cbig possibility\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

When asked if he\u2019d be keen, Oftebro said yes one on condition: \u201cIf I get to do it with Peter and their relationship can continue to be complicated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Andersson added, \u201cI feel the same… Nothing has been decided yet, but I think there are plans for how this could continue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kay also expressed desires to continue the story, telling Filmtopp, \u201cIf Netflix wanted to make another season, we\u2019d very much like to be part of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe series is designed as a love story [between father and son] that continues to develop and is constantly tested by the cases they find themselves facing. And if other people would also like to see more, then I\u2019m absolutely up for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Season 2 might introduce a brand new character<\/h2>\n

Although the main murder mystery is solved by the end of Blood Sacrifice\u2019s debut chapter, Thomas and Alfred could find themselves thrown into an entirely new case if the show is renewed, while their complicated father-son relationship remains at the centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, it appears this was the idea from the very beginning. When asked by <\/span>MovieZine<\/span><\/a> if he\u2019d be interested in a second season, Kay replied, \u201cThe series is made to be able to come back, if we are lucky enough to do so. Absolutely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLong-running TV series often have a love story at the centre. We have that here too. The only question is whether these two men can continue together and find a way to not yell at each other,\u201d he continued. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnderneath all that, there is a great affection. That is the story we are telling: a love story between a father and son.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And a new murder investigation might not be the only complication thrown their way. In another <\/span>MovieZine<\/span><\/a> interview, Andersson floated the possibility of introducing a new character. <\/span><\/p>\n
