Netflix’s new hit show Kaleidoscope is about as creative as it gets when it comes to how it’s put together. The eight episodes of the show, which are all named after colours, follow the years, months, and days before and after a big heist. They can be watched in any order.
Only the eighth and final episode, “White,” is always at the end of subscribers’ Netflix accounts. The remaining seven are shown in a random order so that viewers can either go with what the algorithm suggests or make up their own order.
For people who haven’t seen the show before, Kaleidoscope is a web series that shows a variety of stories with different themes, genres, and points of view. Each episode tells a different story that explores the complexity of being human and celebrates how different we all are. Some of the most promising actors in the business are part of the series’ talented ensemble cast. Their flawless performances bring these stories to life.
Since the first season of Kaleidoscope came out on January 1, Netflix has not yet made a public statement about Season 2. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be a second season. Because it usually takes the streaming giant a few weeks to confirm the second part. Without official word that Kaleidoscope will return for a second season, it’s hard to say when it might come back.
If there were a second season of Kaleidoscope, the cast would almost certainly need a big change, unless there were some prequel or time-jumping tricks. After all, a lot of the crew and other characters died in season 1, including Ava, played by Paz Vega, and Bob, played by Jai Courtney.
Leo, whose real name is Ray and who was played by Giancarlo Esposito, had an uncertain future. At the end of time, he was shot in the back by a person who looks a lot like Roger’s son Brad. But we never know for sure if he died from his wounds, so there is a chance he could come back for season 2.
The end of Kaleidoscope’s timeline left a lot of questions that could be answered in Season 2, but none are more important than what will happen to our leader, Leo/Ray, who has Parkinson’s disease. The “Pink” epilogue episode ends with a limping Leo/Ray carrying a suitcase through an underpass.
Behind him, a mysterious figure pulls out a gun, and a gunshot is heard as the screen turns pink. His presumed death will make it harder for the FBI to figure out what happened in the heist, and his fiercely independent daughter Hannah Kim (Tati Gabrielle), who had a touching farewell FaceTime chat with him before he died, might want to get revenge on his death.
When it comes to Kim, she would be a big part of any second season, even if there wasn’t a revenge plot. After her father tried to use her as his inside man in Salas’s company for the heist, she told him she was running her own plan to return the stolen bonds to The Triplets and get their insurance company to pay for the missing assets. She also told him she has a child, but she didn’t say anything about who the father is.
Finding out how her father’s death will affect her, who the mystery father of her child is, and how long she can keep her illegal relationship with The Triplets a secret from the FBI could be interesting enough to carry a new season. The FBI is still looking for the people who stole the bonds. Only tech whiz and con artist Judy Goodwin (Rosaline Elbay) and lovestruck smuggler Stan Loomis (Peter Mark Kendall) are left.
Unfortunately, it’s not clear where these two are after Goodwin found the money Salas gave her verbally abusive ex-boyfriend Bob Goodwin in his car after the FBI shot him on the beach. In the last picture of Judy, she is holding the bag and looking over at Loomis as he eats lengua tacos. She then looks into the camera with a look of opportunity on her face. She was getting tired of Loomis’s unrealistic ideas and inaction.
In Season 2, we might find out if she left him and how the ongoing FBI investigation and Vernon’s death might bring her back to a life she’s ready to leave.
