    I think they were already sketching up ideas for a sequel when the whole fight about ownership of the studio and intellectual property escalated. I would think either party will wait for a resolution to who actually legally owns what before continuing work on a potential sequel. If DE2 ever happens, it will probably take a while - and it might well end up like all good critiques of capital; wholly recuperated and swallowed up by capital, melted down for parts and sloppified for easier consumption.

    The amazon show is still coming though, I think? agony-minion

        it might actually be okay, companies are dipping their toes into releasing communism flavored slop, like Andor or I'm a Virgo

        ah who am I kidding, this is gonna be utter shit

          the people who did most of the writing aren't on the team anymore (cf pending lawsuit over ownership of ZA/UM) so there's a 0% chance it's not revisionist garbage.

          Unrelated but I'm a Virgo is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone reading the thread, the first season has only like 8 30 minute episodes. If you have patience for something that's a little bit surreal and unique you will definitely enjoy.

            agreed! absolutely top notch television, incredible show, although I wouldn't call it just "a little bit" surreal lol
