“Neo Yokio” Renewal Announcement Coming Soon Says Show Creator Ezra Koenig
An announcement is apparently ready to drop.
Anyone who listened to Ezra Koenig’s show “Time Crisis” that streamed on Beats1 today heard that the host of the show got a write-in question concerning the future of his Netflix series, Neo Yokio, more specifically, if a second season was incoming. While Ezra was non-committal, he started dropping hints that an announcement is actually coming THIS week and that “Neo’s not dead”.
Jaden Smith has already said that he’s more than interested in reprising his role as the show’s titular character, and if Ezra’s poker face is any inclination on that happening, he will. You can read our review of Neo Yokio season one here.
Synopsis:
Neo Yokio is regarded as the greatest city in the world, in part because it is North America’s most populous urban agglomeration. It is also a diverse labyrinth of innovation that is at the forefront of global fashion and finance. Among its residents is lovesick Kaz Kaan, the youngest member of a family of “magistocrats,” pink-haired demon slayers who once liberated the city. He isn’t that into the demon-slaying, though, and would prefer to go shopping, play field hockey and try to mend his broken heart. Kaz has friends Lexy and Gottlieb by his side as he navigates life in Neo Yokio while trying to stay a step ahead of archrival Arcangelo Corelli, the city’s most eligible bachelor.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
