After focusing on telekinetic Kid (Jack Fisher) in its first season, Kid Cosmic and the Intergalactic Truckstop! will shift to Jo (Amanda C. Miller), a teenager imbued with the ability to create portals in space that link one spot to another. Going forward, McCracken said, Kid Cosmic’s central focuses and the ideas at work will continue to shift.
“In these three seasons of Kid Cosmic, we get to explore the idea of what it truly means to be a hero, as each season focuses on a different character and a different theme,” McCracken explained. “In season one, the Kid learns that heroes help; in season two, Jo discovers that heroes care; and finally, in season three, it is Papa G who accepts that heroes sacrifice.”
If Kid Cosmic didn’t exactly grab you in its first season, there’s a chance that what’s coming next might be of more interest, given that it sounds like McCracken always intended for the show to evolve over time after establishing the basic elements of its universe. There’s no word yet on when Kid Cosmic’s third season will debut, but the second season drops September 7 on Netflix.
