Ratched, which was created as a prequel to the legendary 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, released its 1st season back in September 2020 and now we are eagerly waiting for Ratched Season 2. Starring Sarah Paulson, Ryan Murphy’s golden girl, as the titular character Nurse Mildred Ratched, the series follows the life of Ratched before the events that took place in the film.
The show is about Nurse Ratched who sets up evil ways to make herself hired to work at Lucia State Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Northern California, to be close to his foster brother Edmund who is an inmate there for killing several priests. The series also tackles her life as a lesbian, as Ratched keeps her sexual identity a secret. Some important side characters add so much to the series like the head doctor in the hospital, Dr. Richard Hanover who has a seriously troubling past that doesn’t leave him alone.
We know you have now gotten used to waiting for years for a new season of a tv series, Game of Thrones taught us that. It is still not fair for producers and the creators of the series to leave us hanging like that. We tried to give some information on the Ratched Season 2 release date, the show’s cast, and the infamous Nurse Ratched costume.
Ratched Season 2
Ratched Season 2
One thing is for sure, we already know that series is returning for a 2nd season. But we don’t know when that return is going to be. According to the IMDb page of the series, Season 2 is still in development and there is no evidence showcasing that the filming has started. Many sources conclude that the filming for Season 2 will take place this summer which means the series will not be available to stream in 2022. We believe the earliest date we can watch Ratched Season 2 is early 2023.
This may be due to Covid causing production delays or the conflicting schedules of the Ratched cast members and the director Ryan Murphy who is working both on American Horror Story and American Crime Story.
