Created by Andreas Heckmann, Arne Nolting, and Jan Martin Scharf, Barbarians is a 2020 German historical war drama television series. The series premiered on October 23, 2020, on Netflix.

So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who will come back to reprise their roles? Keep reading to know further details.
Barbarians Plot and Cast
Barbarians season 2 will be based on historical events, as was the first. Although the show’s creators haven’t revealed what’s next for Arminius, Thusnelda, and Folkwin, history suggests that another horrible fight is on the way.
In 16 AD, Roman General Germanicus attempted to avenge the fallen legions by returning with even more troops for a new war. Unlike the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, the Battle of Idistaviso was a huge success for the Romans, so if the show stays true to history, this second series could mean disaster for our heroes.
The fact that Daniel Donskoy is playing Arminius’ younger brother Flavus as an adult indicates that we may certainly expect a dramatic family reunion. Flavus, like his older brother, was kidnapped by the Romans as a child. He remained loyal to his Roman captors, though, and even served in the Roman army under Germanicus.
Also, we expect Folkwin’s oath with the gods, as well as the discovery that Thusnelda is pregnant with Folkwin’s child, to present problems for our three main characters, especially since she hopes to govern with Arminius.
Jeanne Goursaud, Laurence Rupp, and David Schütter will all return for the second season as Thusnelda, Arminius, and Folkwin, respectively. Daniel Donskoy as Flavus, Murathan Muslu as Marbod, Cynthia Micas as Dido, Katherine Heyer as Odarike, Giovanni Carta as Tiberius, and Alessandro Fella as Germanicus are among the new cast members.
