Review

The series looks interesting at first but it is not as better as it is hyped. At the end of the day, you will find the film has great monsters, grunge vibes but there are certain awkward points that make the film pointless. KraKow monsters is based on a Polish folklore like British Robin Hood Series but it is delivered in a chaotic way.

Moreover, the characters have tried so hard to depict adult coolness but failed. The portrayal somehow joins the body and soul of the show together have to say that the writing was really poor. Just try to imagine yourself as a child. There were certain plot holes and some characters like The Professor seems immature.

Most users decided to stop watching the episode after episode 4 because it only worsened after that. The stupid plot development come into affect and the dull, gloomy and witty dialogues were on the rise in Krakow Monsters.

Too many parts that are not easily tracked and connected. Some parts seem disconnected. The support characters could add much more if they were given deeper characterizations. All of the actors seemed to constantly be ambivalent toward each other: frenemies. No Matter what happened in the series, it has become one of the best shows to watch on Netflix right now.

Will there be a Cracow Monsters Season 2?

Not officially confirmed but a second season of Krakow monsters can happen in the future. As the series is rocking over the screens and is getting popular among EU peoples due to its Slavic mythology. Moreover, the first season is ended on a cliffhanger leaving room for a season 2, sooner or later, a new season of this series will be released on Netflix with another eight episodes.

Usually, a renewal is announced after 2-3 months of a show’s release. If the series received a renewal by April 2022 then we can expect Cracow Monsters season 2 to be released around July 2022. There will be a total of eight episodes with an average runtime of 50 minutes. All the episodes will be released on the original streaming network, Netflix.

What to expect from Season 2 of Cracow Monsters?

Season 1 ended with the defeat of Hvor. Alex fulfilled her mother’s prophecy by destructing the Hvor and professor played his part by saving his son. The finale scene shows a glimpse of Alex’s guardian deity visiting Lucky. Cracow Monsters Season 2 will pickup the story right after the appearance of deity and we will get to see more gruesome killers from Slav mythology. Moreover, Lucky is still alive who seemed to be dead at first in the episode 7, his backstory will also be explored.
