What Could be the Storyline for Hit Monkey Season 2?
The previous season ended on a major cliffhanger further leading to prolonging the suspense even more. The viewers witnessed many exciting moments but at the same time, it was filled with a lot of twists and turns. The most that viewers want to find out in the next chapter is who would become the next boss?
We can only assume that in the second season the next boss will be revealed for sure but unfortunately, it was rumored that Hit-Monkey was only meant for a limited series or mini-series so the first season will be the only season, and henceforth there won’t be any more new seasons in the future. If this proves to be true, it is truly disappointing given the fact many fans were extremely looking forward to the much anticipated next season of the series.
However, fans are urged not to give up hope until the showrunners or Hulu gives out an official statement regarding the discontinuity of the series. Stay tuned for more updates!
