Return to a Mystical Realm The second season of Amazon’s Undone offers more mysterious encounters, stunning visuals and gripping storylines.

hen we last saw Alma (Rosa Salazar), the heroine of Amazon Studios and Tornante Productions’ boundary-pushing Undone, she was in Mexico, waiting to be reunited with her father Jacob (Bob Odenkirk). Fans of the show will be happy to know that there are more mysterious events and beautiful animation in store in the second season of the entertaining series, created by Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksberg. Hisko Hulsing, the award-winning creator of acclaimed shorts Seventeen and Junkyard, is the show’s director and production designer. The second season is also a blend of rotoscopy and 2D animation, courtesy of the teams at Austin-based Minnow Mountain and Amsterdam’s Submarine. “We were actually writing the second season as we were finishing production on the first pre-COVID lockdown,” says Bob-Waksberg, who is also the Emmy-nominated creator of the acclaimed Netflix toon BoJack Horseman and exec producer of Tuca & Bertie. “We were supposed to start production in 2020, but then we ended up filming the second season during COVID and were able to deliver the second season in January.”
‘The show sets out to ask questions and sort of says: This is something we don’t quite understand, and let’s explore it through these characters. It’s an artform that you bring your own personal perspectives to and interact with from your own point of view. Hopefully, that will create more empathy.’ — Co-creator, showrunner & exec producer Kate Purdy
