The FX on Hulu series Under the Banner of Heaven has set the heather alight with its controversial plot, excellent storytelling and great cast. That’s why fans are already wondering whether or not Under the Banner of Heaven Season 2 will happen. Here’s everything we know about the future of the beloved true crime drama series.
Under the Banner of Heaven follows a true crime.
Based on the novel of the same name by Jon Krakauer, Under the Banner of Heaven follows a true crime committed by fundamentalist Mormons in the name of God. A police detective’s faith is shaken as he investigates the murder of a Mormon mother and her young daughter, which appears to involve the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Inspired by real events, the series sheds light on the realities of radical religious communities. Without further ado, let’s get straight to our main topic: will there be a 2nd season of the FX on Hulu series Under the Banner of Heaven?

Under the Banner of Heaven premiered on FX on Hulu on April 28, 2022 and consists of 7 episodes in total. However, the highly anticipated season finale hasn’t aired yet, but will be shown on the streaming platform on June 2, 2022. The remaining 6 episodes, titled “When God Was Love,” “Rightful Place,” “Surrender,” “Church and State,” “One Mighty and Strong,” and “Revelation,” are already available on Hulu.

Further to that, there’s no official announcement from the network about the future of the series yet. But we’ll keep you updated with the latest news about Under the Banner of Heaven. Stay tuned.

I really admire this series. It’s a study of religious faith and morality. Should faith be blind to the immoral deeds of its Church? Blind to mass murders and continuing murders, all in the name of their religion? The answer has to be a big NO for a truly moral man who wants to do the right thing at all times.
