Franck Gastambide, creator of, has shared a promising update about a potential of the Netflix MMA drama. In a recent interview, he discussed ideas for the story’s future, highlighting challenges fighters face beyond the cage. His comments reveal insight into his vision for the series’ continuation, even though Netflix has not yet confirmed Season 2.
Franck Gastambide, creator of The Cage, shared an update on the potential for a second season of the Netflix MMA drama. The series premiered on November 8 and follows Taylor, played by Melvin Boomer. Taylor is a young MMA fighter striving for recognition in the competitive world of combat sports. Season 1 consists of eight episodes and was launched without any confirmation of future installments.
Speaking to Technikart Magazine (via Programme TV), Gastambide addressed the possibility of continuing the story, highlighting themes he would like to explore in a second season. He stated, “What we have seen in this sport, in recent months, is that the public is uncompromising with the fighters. The one who is at the top of the hype in a defeat will be the one who is mocked, the one we lose interest in.”
He continued, “Finally, what could be interesting to deal with in Season 2 of La Cage is that the biggest violence for a fighter is not ultimately in La Cage. It is much more now in the media world, in the networks, and in the public who is uncompromising. So maybe that could be the continuation of La Cage, violence outside the cage too.”
Netflix has not confirmed any plans for a second season. However, The Cage has shown signs of global success (via The Direct). The series appeared on Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows list in multiple territories, including Belgium, Austria, and the Bahamas. It also reached seventh place in the U.S. chart during its first week.
Despite mixed critical reception, the series holds an IMDb rating of 6.5/10 based on 470 reviews. Its growing international audience may influence Netflix’s decision.
