The King Of Pigs Season 2 Release Date The King Of Pigs has gained huge recognition and is capable enough to go on with the production of a new season when it's still at the peak. Although, as of now there is no official release from the creators about a possible season 2, the fans are desperate and want a next season as soon as possible. Since the series ended the first season in April, 2022, thinking that the writing is in process, we can expect season 2 in 2024. If the writing has already been completed and we receive an update earlier the series is possible to release earliest in 2023. As of now everything is a speculation and we speculate the series will be back with a new cast and story as there were no definite story cliffhangers at the end of the web series. As of now, all we can do is wait.
