List of episodes

The season sees Dick Grayson (Thwaites) form a new Titans team comprising Rachel Roth (Croft), Gar Logan (Potter), and Jason Todd (Walters) in his original San Francisco base. Concurrent with the Titans' return, an old enemy resurfaces in the form of Deathstroke (Morales), whose past conflict with the original Titans team of Dick, Donna Troy (Leslie), Dawn Granger (Kelly), and Hank Hall (Ritchson) caused them to disband. As Deathstroke looks to eliminate the Titans, with his daughter Rose Wilson (Zhang) also taking part in the fight, the heroes face another threat from Cadmus Laboratories when they encounter runaway test subject Conner (Orpin). Meanwhile, Kory Anders (Diop) discovers she is being hunted by her sister Blackfire (Lewis).

A second season of Titans was confirmed in 2018 prior to the premiere of the first season. Filming began the following year and 13 episodes were announced, two more than the 11 episodes of its predecessor. The season was originally planned to feature H.I.V.E. as the Titans' enemies, while Dick would operate under his new mantle of Nightwing after assuming the identity in the initially intended season 1 finale. Before the start of filming, however, the original season 1 finale would be removed and reworked into the second season, which provided a new resolution to the previous season's story in its premiere episode. The second season was subsequently re-envisioned to depict Dick's gradual transformation into Nightwing, with Deathstroke replacing H.I.V.E. Its story was influenced by the 1984 comic arc "The Judas Contract" from Marv Wolfman and George Pérez's The New Teen Titans and the 2003 Teen Titans comics by Johns.

Critical reception to the second season was mixed. While episodes in the first half of the season received positive reviews, the premiere and later episodes were met with a more negative response for the plot, writing, character arcs, and story resolutions. The second season was the last to release on DC Universe following the repurposing of the service into comic distributor DC Universe Infinite and HBO Max's acquisition of its original programming.

Production edit

Development edit

Ahead of the series' premiere at New York Comic Con in October 2018, Titans was renewed for a second season.[12][13][14] Greg Walker returned as showrunner from the first season, who also served as an executive producer alongside Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti, and Sarah Schechter.[15]

The season was the last to release on DC Universe due to its original programming moving to HBO Max in 2021 and the repurposing of the service into comic distributor DC Universe Infinite.[16][17]

Writing edit

The second season was initially planned to follow the events of the original season 1 finale, which would have seen Dick Grayson assume the identity of Nightwing and establish H.I.V.E. as the Titans' next adversaries.[18][19] After the original season 1 finale was pulled, elements of the episode were given to the season 2 premiere, which became the resolution of season 1's Trigon story.[20] H.I.V.E. was replaced by Deathstroke, while Dick's arc into Nightwing was re-envisoned to conclude in the season 2 finale.

Casting edit

 
YouTube commentator Chella Man made his acting debut as Jericho in the second season of Titans.

Series regulars Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Teagan Croft, and Ryan Potter reprise their roles from the first season as Dick Grayson, Kory Anders, Rachel Roth, and Gar Logan. Season 1 guest stars Curran Walters, Conor Leslie, Minka Kelly, and Alan Ritchson return as Jason Todd, Donna Troy, Dawn Granger, and Hank Hall, after being promoted to series regular status.

An additional cast for the second season was rounded up between February and October 2019. Joshua Orpin was cast as Conner, taking over for body double Brooker Muir in the first season.[21] After the character was teased by co-creator Geoff Johns,[22] Esai Morales was cast as Deathstroke,[23] with Chella Man and Chelsea Zhang portraying his children Jericho and Rose.[3][24] Iain Glen was cast as Bruce Wayne, marking the character's first physical appearance after being portrayed by stunt doubles in the first-season finale.[1] Natalie Gumede and Drew Van Acker were cast as Mercy Graves and Garth, respectively.[4][6] Other casting additions include Genevieve Angelson as Cadmus Laboratories scientist Dr. Eve Watson,[8] Michael Mosley as Dr. Light,[2] Oluniké Adeliyi as burlesque dancer Mati Matisse,[25] Hanneke Talbot as Shimmer,[10][11] Demore Barnes as Wintergreen,[26] and Damaris Lewis as Kory's sister Blackfire.[27][28]

Filming edit

Filming for the second season began on April 2, 2019,[29] and concluded on September 20.[30] Production was temporarily put on hold in July due to accidental death of special effects coordinator Warren Appleby;[31][32] the season 2 premiere is dedicated in his memory.

Release edit

Broadcast edit

The second season premiered in the United States through DC Universe on September 6 and concluded on November 29, 2019.[33] Outside the United States, the second season became available for streaming via Netflix on January 10, 2020.[34]

Home media edit

The second season was released digitally and to DVD and Blu-Ray on March 3, 2020.[35]

Reception edit

 
The season 2 premiere, written by executive producers Akiva Goldsman (pictured), Geoff Johns, and Greg Walker, was met with a mixed response.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season holds an 81% approval rating based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 7 out of 10. The critical consensus reads: "Though Titans's sophomore season suffers from a slight slump at the start, it quickly resets itself, building on the momentum from its first season while laying fascinating framework for where the show could go".[36]

The premiere episode "Trigon" was criticized for having story elements originally intended for the season 1 finale. Kevin Yeoman of Screen Rant wrote that the premiere "feels like two distinct episodes roughly stitched together, rather than a proper start to a new season" and "the show's simply carrying too much baggage at the start and is reaching for a conclusion too long after the ostensible end of season 1 to deliver much in the way of a fulfilling resolution or a promising new beginning".[37] Giving the episode a 5.8/10, Jesse Schedeen of IGN called it "an extremely messy episode, with one half tasked with wrapping up Season 1's Trigon storyline and the other laying the groundwork for a new status quo and new villain" and "delivers a very anticlimactic finish to Season 1's story", although he found promise for future episodes.[38] Den of Geek reviewer Aaron Sagers said the premiere "would have served as an excellent season 1 finale", but concluded that "it feels quite a bit like a much-needed course correction for this series" and gave it a 3.5/5.[39]

Following the premiere, early episodes of the season earned a positive reception. In a review for the second episode "Rose", Forbes contributor Linda Maleh called it "the real season premiere" and wrote, "season 2 has taken the best things about season 1, and elevated them".[40] Praising the sixth episode "Conner" and Joshua Orpin's performance in the title role, Sagers said that "it is a strong introduction of the anticipated character, and Titans makes up for the fact we've waited so long in the season for it".[41] Schedeen gave the eighth episode "Jericho" a 9.3/10, which he described as "easily the strongest installment of Titans: Season 2, and a clear contender for the series' best episode overall".[42]

However, the later episodes were received more negatively. In a review for the 11th episode "E.L._.O.", Charles Pulliam-Moore of Gizmodo wrote that "Titans seemingly lost its focus" after the eighth episode and "with just two episodes to go, it doesn't seem possible that the writers are going to be able to wrap things up in satisfying or interesting ways".[43] For the finale "Nightwing", Pulliam-Moore called it "a travesty of epic proportions", criticizing how the episode concluded the season's storylines.[44] The death of Donna Troy in the finale was widely panned as illogical and unnecessary, with several reviewers questioning if electrical discharge from a transmission tower would have been sufficient to kill the character. Although giving the overall episode a 3.5/5, Sagers commented: "Even if I were to accept that Donna couldn't withstand that electrical charge, and even if I could explain why the super-boy [Conner] didn't rush to stop the falling tower, the death played out in cheap fashion, like yet another box that had to be ticked for the finale".[45] Entertainment Weekly's Christian Holub said that "Donna Troy's last-minute death felt so stupidly unnecessary that I can't help but throw up my hands at this whole season finale", describing the scene as "such a stupid death I honestly thought it was a joke at first".[46] Donna's actress Conor Leslie agreed with the criticism during a 2021 interview, noting the episode aired shortly before a Wonder Woman 1984 trailer that depicted Diana Prince unaffected by lightning.[47]

on March 3 2020 35 Reception edit nbsp The season 2 premiere written by executive producers Akiva Goldsman pictured Geoff Johns and Greg Walker was met with a mixed response On Rotten Tomatoes the second season holds an 81 approval rating based on 21 reviews with an average rating of 7 out of 10 The critical consensus reads Though Titans s sophomore season suffers from a slight slump at the start it quickly resets itself building on the momentum from its first season while laying fascinating framework for where the show could go 36 The premiere episode Trigon was criticized for having story elements originally intended for the season 1 finale Kevin Yeoman of Screen Rant wrote that the premiere feels like two distinct episodes roughly stitched together rather than a proper start to a new season and the show s simply carrying too much baggage at the start and is reaching for a conclusion too long after the ostensible end of season 1 to deliver much in the way of a fulfilling resolution or a promising new beginning 37 Giving the episode a 5 8 10 Jesse Schedeen of IGN called it an extremely messy episode with one half tasked with wrapping up Season 1 s Trigon storyline and the other laying the groundwork for a new status quo and new villain and delivers a very anticlimactic finish to Season 1 s story although he found promise for future episodes 38 Den of Geek reviewer Aaron Sagers said the premiere would have served as an excellent season 1 finale but concluded that it feels quite a bit like a much needed course correction for this series and gave it a 3 5 5 39 Following the premiere early episodes of the season earned a positive reception In a review for the second episode Rose Forbes contributor Linda Maleh called it the real season premiere and wrote season 2 has taken the best things about season 1 and elevated them 40 Praising the sixth episode Conner and Joshua Orpin s performance in the title role Sagers said that it is a strong introduction of the anticipated character and Titans makes up for the fact we ve waited so long in the season for it 41 Schedeen gave the eighth episode Jericho a 9 3 10 which he described as easily the strongest installment of Titans Season 2 and a clear contender for the series best episode overall 42 However the later episodes were received more negatively In a review for the 11th episode E L O Charles Pulliam Moore of Gizmodo wrote that Titans seemingly lost its focus after the eighth episode and with just two episodes to go it doesn t seem possible that the writers are going to be able to wrap things up in satisfying or interesting ways 43 For the finale Nightwing Pulliam Moore called it a travesty of epic proportions criticizing how the episode concluded the season s storylines 44 The death of Donna Troy in the finale was widely panned as illogical and unnecessary with several reviewers questioning if electrical discharge from a transmission tower would have been sufficient to kill the character Although giving the overall episode a 3 5 5 Sagers commented Even if I were to accept that Donna couldn t withstand that electrical charge and even if I could explain why the super boy Conner didn t rush to stop the falling tower the death played out in cheap fashion like yet another box that had to be ticked for the finale 45 Entertainment Weekly s Christian Holub said that Donna Troy s last minute death felt so stupidly unnecessary that I can t help but throw up my hands at this whole season finale describing the scene as such a stupid death I honestly thought it was a joke at first 46 Donna s actress Conor Leslie agreed with the criticism during a 2021 interview noting the episode aired shortly before a Wonder Woman 1984 trailer that depicted Diana Prince unaffected by lightning 47 References edit a b Boucher Geoff April 11 2019 Game of Thrones Star Will Portray Bruce Wayne On Titans Deadline Hollywood Retrieved April 11 2019 a b Ridgely Charlie August 19 2019
