Where is Dash and Lily season 2? Has the show been renewed or canceled?
By Sabrina Reed
Happy Christmas in July! For the next two weeks, FanSided Entertainment is dropping our readers into the holiday spirit. But, it wouldn’t be a Christmas bonanza without some news on Dash and Lily season 2.
The teen romantic comedy Christmas show, a rarity in television, was a popular seasonal affair in 2020 that took viewers in and around New York City with a tinsel-bedecked holiday lover and a scrooge. Thrown together by a red journal tucked within the stacks of The Strand bookstore, the pair slowly fell in love over a series of dares meant to get them other out of their shells.
Shenanigan laden and cute, Dash and Lily is a new holiday favorite, one we’re sure fans will be turning on as soon as they’re done with Turkey Day and ready to slide into the winter holidays. But it’s been quiet on the season 2 front with news on the series being few and far between.
Here’s what we know about Dash and Lily season 2!
Has Dash and Lily been renewed?
Unfortunately, the series hasn’t been renewed. However, it hasn’t been canceled either. Netflix has been keeping it close to the vest on Dash & Lily, but we’re hoping the show’s recent Emmy nominations and win will be points in their favor.
On June 28, Nick Jonas, who executive produced the romcom, took to Instagram to celebrate the show’s 12 Daytime Emmy nominations including Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actress in a Daytime Fiction Program for Midori Francis and Outstanding Directing Team.
Dash and Lily went home with one award out of the 12 with a win for Outstanding Makeup for a Drama or Daytime Fiction Program. So, the series has certainly caught attention outside of buzz and holiday fervor.
Dash and Lily season 2 release date
Though we’re still waiting to hear about a renewal for Dash and Lily, we do know even if the show is greenlit for a second season we won’t be seeing it in 2021. We’re too far into the year. There isn’t enough time for production to commence, complete, and leave room for promo. As such, we’re looking at a 2022 release for a potential season 2. Of course, either in November or early December.
Dash and Lily season 2 synopsis
The Christmas romcom is based on a book series by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, so there’s plenty of material for season 2 to mine. It’s likely that we’d be watching an adaptation of book 2 The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily.
In the book, it’s Lily’s turn not to be feeling the Christmas spirit. With her grandfather recovering from a medical crisis, she’s emotionally wrung out. Dash, her brother Langston, and their friends, however, don’t want the holiday angel to miss out on her favorite time of the year.
Cue a plan to get Lily out of the dumps and into the spirit of Christmas as they all run around Manhattan capturing the December magic of the city to cheer her up.
It sounds like a heartwarming time. Here’s hoping Netflix renews Dash & Lily for a season 2!
