Absentia season 2: What’s the ideal premiere date on Amazon?
Let’s start this off with a reminder that production on season 2 is currently underway — with that in mind, it’s incredibly unrealistic to think that the Stana Katic series is going to premiere in the same window that it did earlier this year. Filming may not even be wrapped up until the winter, and after that there are some more things that need to be checked off — editing, scoring, and any ADR work that needs to be done.

There are two other issues that have to be considered when you are talking about Absentia in particular.
The Amazon factor – All episodes have to be done before the streaming service can start to put the episodes online; after all, they follow the same release model as Netflix in that all of the stories go online at the same time.
The international rollout – Last season, Absentia rolled out in many European territories months before it premiered on Amazon in America. It’s very easy to envision that something rather similar is going to happen here.
The earliest that we could envision season 2 premiering is at some point in the summer of 2019. It could be later than that, but we do think that this is the sort of show you want to make sure is perfect before you put it out there. It shouldn’t be rushed along and we like that they took their time going into season 2 to make sure that everything was precisely who they wanted it. That’s going to produce a much better end product.
We just hope everyone out there is patient … we know it’s going to be tough.
