The news that The Order season 2 was assured on Netflix was almost certainly welcome for those viewers who were wondering what would happen to the Knights of St. Christopher werewolves after the events of the season finale. Fortunately, the show returns this summer, and lead actors Sarah Grey and Jake Manley are on board for the new season.

The Order may have snuck under people’s radar, but enough people tuned in to the series about a secret magical society hidden on a college campus for Netflix to keep the story going. The show comes from co-creators Dennis Heaton (Ghost Wars) and Shelley Eriksen (Continuum) and Nomadic Pictures, which also produces the hit vampire series Van Helsing for Syfy. Adding the element of justice-seeking werewolves to an otherwise familiar formula of hidden magic-users must have been just what viewers were looking for.

The first season of The Order follows Manley’s character, Jack, as he enrolls at Belgrave University with the specific purpose of tracking down his father who, along with the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, may have had something to do with his mother’s mysterious death. By becoming a part of the Order himself, Jack meets Alyssa, played by Grey, who is learning magic herself and discovering the darker side of the organization she’s a part of.

The logline for season 2 reads: “The Knights struggle to regain their memories stolen from them by the Order… and they crave retribution. But vengeance is hard to plan when you’re also fighting murderous magicians, strange new cults, and life-threatening demons. Does anyone even go to class anymore?“
