It'll be a relieve to see how Season 2 plays out and fits into the MK movie. Or is it just a separate product altogether? I am thankful some of the storylines were explored further for each of the characters in the role they played in the first tournament (Kabal and Quan Chi especially). Not impressed with Rayden being sent to Earth and accidentally landing in a psych ward. Thunder Gods should be much smarter than that.

That's great news! This made my day.

This series IMO has done the best job on portraying the story of Princess Kitana. The way MK9 portrayed her story was ridiculous, it was a nightmare.

I look forward to see the Edenian Goddess destroy the cometition in the tournament. Can't wait to see her beat the shit out of Mileena and Shao Kahn.

I loved the first series. Kevin Tancharoen's depiction of Mortal Kombat is rather cool and I loved the first series. The only thing that didn't make sense was the Scorpion VS Sub-Zero episode... it seemed like it took place in Feudal Japan while the two of them still live in recent times. I wonder if that will be explained.

Shang Tsung isn't a "new addition", he's already appeared briefly in the Johnny Cage, Kitana/Mileena, and Scorpion/Sub-Zero episodes.

Also, if the webseries "doesn't affect the movie" then what's the point of making more of it, exactly? If they're not connected/the same continuity, then making the first season at LEAST made sense as a "proof of concept" to prove to WB he could do live action MK and get them to green light a full length film version...but now that he's gotten the film greenlit...what's the point of a season two?

I said it in the other thread, I'll say it again here; I'm glad season two is happening because the longer they take prepping this movie, the better I'll feel. Knowing WB, I can totally see them holding back on this movie. Man Of Steel (Summer 2013) is their last giant release (especially with blockbusters/superhero franchises) until at least 2015 according to them, so they could be holding Mortal Kombat for a summer 2014 release, especially if there is a new game by then, that could mean big BIG bucks for them. Plus, a second season after how well Legacy was received, I'm sure, will help keep the interest alive since this takes place during the tournament.

Looking forward to this series. Can't wait to watch!

Awesome news I can't wait to watch it

We might get to see a triangle between Ermac, Kenshi and Shangers.
Good trailer. It really gave justice to each character equally¡ Certainly it would be fun to have the series and the movie be of the same continuity but I guess it's easier and the most profitable for Ktanch to do it this way.

Terrible announcer voice over!!!

But good news. Kind of weird that they're doing a season 2 AND a movie and that the two aren't related even though it's the same director, but I guess it will all make sense eventually.

I wonder how Ermac and Kenshi will fit into the 10th tournament story. Seems like a pretty good roster, anyway.

I'm thrilled they are doing a second season. What's more amazing is it takes place during the tournament.

Kung Lao and Kenshi are awesome additions as well.

This is best fucking news I've heard in a long time on MKO. Season 2!!
...and I can't wait to see the first teaser/trailer for the movie as well!

I hope all the KT haters go hang themselves because I'm just going to revel in their misery as they post all their bitching and whining threads.

You have alot of hatred in you. I hope you will solve the issues you have and become a better person in the future.

Sweetness! I'm glad to hear that they're making season two and still making the movie. It's like instant gratification; sometime in the near future we get season 2 of Legacy, and then in a year or so we get the high-budget movie.

I have two theories for why this may be; My first theory is that the movie will be a dark gritty saw meets the dark knight type movie in the style of MK Rebirth. So maybe Tancharoen wanted to give fans of the story a more faithful representation in season two so everyone can get their MK fix.

My other theory is that for whatever reason, the motion picture got delayed. Maybe they wanted to tie it in to the release of the next MK game which probably won't be done until 2014 since NRS is working on Injustice right now. Maybe they got some foreign actors to star in the movie who need to become fluid at English (I'm still hoping for Iko Uwais as the main character Liu Kang). Maybe they just decided that they weren't far enough along to have a release date in 2013 so they got an extension and decided to throw together a second season (which would probably be much easier and less expensive) in the mean time.

I've heard somewhere that they wanted to set up the same basic premise wit the tournament and all, only have a different outcome. I'm okay with some creative changes if they have purpose, but I wouldn't want to see too many changes made to the story. I still think Liu Kang should be the champion (at least the first time around) and I the original Sub-Zero should die and all that jazz. I wouldn't be too distraught if a way was found to work other characters in like Kitana, Jax, Kung Lao, Ermac, and even Kenshi and Stryker. Jax and Kung Lao and even Kitana were pretty closely related to the first game, Ermac was a rumored character in MK1, Kenshi would have been there if he hadn't missed the boat, and it might make sense for Stryker to be there since he worked with Sonya and Jax in season 1.

But one character that wasn't announced was Goro. I know it would be hard for a web-series that's obviously already forking over a decent amount of money on special effects to make a convincing four-armed monster, but he's a really important part of the MK1 storyline.

I'm hoping that this season will focus more on the overall plot than one character at a time. We already got the origins of a good number of characters from season 1. Maybe Liu Kang and Kung Lao could have an introduction episode, but they're not that tough to get to know if the season just needs to start at the tournament.

I'll be happy to see this regardless of what they do, but I'll be REALLY happy if they follow the source material closely. I'm happy there's plenty of Mortal Kombat material coming up to keep me happily occupied until the next game is announced.

Well, to be fair, Stryker was in the first MK Legacy too. A minor role, but he was there. ^^

Almost too minor, I never really noticed him, he didn't really stand out to say oh that's Stryker.

They lost me with their lack of Reptile. I mean, he was actually at the tournament (right?) But then they won me over again by including Kenshi.

I assume he'll be played by Keanu Reeves.

Perhaps we'll see more of how the original MK game was supposed to be setup and Johnny Cage will be the winner as he was supposed to be in the first game? I'd really love for WB to release an MK Bible, I think we fans deserve that!

He does remind me of Neo for some reason. Maybe because they both have their eyes covered and similar hair. But do you really think they'd be able to get Keanu Reeves to act in the web series? Well I guess they did get some other pretty well-known actors for it.

I have no reason to believe they'd actually get Keanu, and I wouldn't want him. I was just joking because I've always thought he looked a bit like him since Deadly Alliance.

Great news. I had a jolly chuckle at Baraka being in a cutlery shelf. :D

awesome news! really pleased with the line up of characters for season 2- hope Stryker gets a one on one fight scene, I liked Tamoh Pennikett who portaryed him in series 1 who also did some pretty decent fighting in the tv series: Doll House and we're finally getting some Kenshi live action!

this is probably to tie us over until the new MK movie comes out which is probably stalling to co-inside with the next MK game =)

Still no Reptile? What the fuck?

Reckon there will be a few surprises in there.

I did like Legacy.

On top of all that, I look forward to whoever to the casting of Kang and Lao the most.
