Band of Brothers Season 2 Won't Happen, But There's Spin-Offs

HBO proven that they know how to create great original series, with productions like Chernobyl and The Last of Us being just some of them.

Although a second season remains a fleeting dream, The Pacific serves as a great spin-off, with another one being ready for release early next year.

The first of those, The Pacific, released in 2010 and as the name implies, focused on the aerial battles of the United States Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater of Operations during WWII.

With Masters of the Air, we will get our third installment into the Band of Brothers franchise, that will also be produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. The show will be based on the book of the same name, written by Donald L. Miller.

This time we will join the 100th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force, nicknamed "the Bloody Hundredth" and will tell the story of their battles against Nazi Germany. So it will be another WWII movie, who would have thought.

The series is set to release on January 26, 2024, on Apple TV+. What also know that the cast will be stacked, with names like Austin Butler, Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, and Nate Mann joining the project.
