Regardless of whether you got to view Season 1 of Glitch before it was released to the U.S. on Netflix, or not, it has still been a long wait between news on Season 2. However, news of Season 2 episode titles and new cast members have just been released.
Glitch originally premiered in Australia on their ABC network in 2015. Netflix then released the series in 2016, garnering a bigger audience. The six-episode Season 1 focused on the discovery of six people who had previously died, rising from their graves.
For those of you who haven’t seen Glitch yet, the official synopsis for Season 1 is below.
“When Sergeant Hayes is called to Yoorana cemetery in the middle of the night, he makes a discovery that turns his world upside down — six people with no memory of their identities. Who are they and what has happened to them?”
Season 1 of Glitch ended on a cliffhanger and audiences everywhere have been eager to find out news on Season 2. Recently, two episode titles were released via the Glitch Facebook page .
Episode 2 of Season 2 of Glitch is titled “Two Truths” and is written by Louise Fox. Episode 3 of Season 2 of Glitch is ominously titled “Ashes To Ashes” and is written by Giula Sandler. As yet, there seems to be no official title released for Episode 1 of the Second season, although, thanks to the following image released by ABC Australia on Twitter , we do know that Emma Freeman will be directing the first episode.
