Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

A new report has emerged on the second season of WWE Unreal on Netflix.

According to BodySlam+, several WWE wrestlers like R-Truth, IYO SKY, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Naomi, Lyra Valkyria, and Penta will soon begin interviews for the show. They noted that with the variety of events over the past eight months, WWE and Netflix have already allegedly completed a significant amount of filming for the next season.

R-Truth’s contract expiration and its aftermath, along with Rollins’ Money in the Bank cash-in at SummerSlam appear likely to be featured in the second season. Earlier this year, R-Truth left WWE following his contract expiry after soon returned following an expression of online displeasure while Rollins faked an injury before successfully cashing his briefcase on CM Punk.

The release date for the second season has yet to be announced. The first season that debuted this past July had five total episodes.

One of the big talking points of the wrestling world last week — WWE Unreal — hit the Netflix Top Ten worldwide for the last seven days according to new data released Monday by Netflix.

The five-episode docuseries giving fans a look backstage at the various creative happenings in WWE finished ninth in the world overall, just behind the July 28th episode of WWE Raw.

The show overall finished with 2.3 million global viewers and 10.7 million global views on a runtime of four hours and 41 minutes. It dropped in full at 3 AM Eastern on Tuesday, July 29th.

It also finished in the top 10 in eight countries including the U.S., United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia.

Unlike new Raw episodes that fall out of the Top Ten after a week, it remains to be seen if the show can hold its staying power given there is less WWE programming to take in this week vs. last week which saw two nights of SummerSlam on top of the regular shows.

As of now, a second season of Unreal has yet to be announced.

Dave Meltzer has his thoughts on the numbers.
