Collider can exclusively reveal new art from Season 2 of Carnival Row, Prime Video’s fantasy show about a brewing conflict between humans and fae creatures. Carnival Row will end next year despite having a loyal fanbase, making Season 2 an emotional farewell to its cast of beloved characters.
The new images feature some of the series’ main cast. First, we have Orlando Bloom as Rycroft "Philo" Philostrate, an inspector working for the Republic of The Burgue. Carnival Row is in a fantasy world inspired by Victorian England, where humans live side by side with fae creatures. The series takes place in the Republic of The Burgue, where social tensions reach a boiling point after more fae immigrate to the city while escaping a brutal war. Philo is a half-fae pretending to be a human and a war veteran, so he understands the horrors that lead many people to Burgue. So, he’s more sympathetic than his colleagues towards fae creatures. In Season 2, Philo will investigate a series of gruesome murders while uncovering a conspiracy at the city's heart.
The second exclusive image features Cara Delevingne as Vignette Stonemoss. In Season 1, Vignette joined a band of fae renegades and realized how humans oppressed other creatures in Burgue. Now, in Season 2, Vignette is plotting a revolution to take down the human leaders who contribute to the marginalization of the fae.
The last image features David Gyasi as Agreus Astrayon and Tamzin Merchant as Imogen Spurnrose. Imogen is a human while Agreus is a faun, but they fall in love on Carnival Row’s first season, challenging social norms and shocking the high society. As the conflict between humans and fae evolves in Season 2, their love might symbolize hope and how everyone can still share the same world.
