Will there be Season 2 of Centaurworld?
With an existing ten-episode backlog to work with — and an existing ensemble of actors, writers, and animators — our best bet for “Centaurworld” Season 2 is somewhere in mid-2022.
Is Centaurworld dark?
Centaurworld is a brilliant example of innovative animation in this golden age. Ingenuity, comedy, an unexpectedly dark depth, and great animation are all on display. Season two, please, because we can’t wait! Centaurworld is available on Netflix.
What is Centaurworld based on?
Centaurworld, directed by Megan Nicole Dong, a former DreamWorks animator, and Pinky Malinky director, is an animal-centered take on the common portal fantasy, in which a character from a prosaic world finds their way into a magical one.
How many seasons of Centaurworld will there be?
Netflix reported that the series will consist of 20 episodes divided into two seasons of ten episodes each.
Who wrote the music for CentaurWorld?
Toby Chu
