Altered Carbon Season 2 VFX Breakdown

Altered Carbon Season 2 VFX Breakdown




Altered Carbon is an American cyberpunk web television series created by Laeta Kalogridis and based on the 2002 novel of the same title by English author Richard K. Morgan. In a world where consciousness can be transferred to different bodies, Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier turned investigator, must solve a murder.

Moving on, Altered Carbon season 2 begins a whopping 30 years after the end of season 1. Kovacs, now in a new sleeve brought to life by Avengers alumni Anthony Mackie, is determined to find his lost love and revolutionary leader Quellcrist Falconer (Renee Elise Goldsberry). Falconer also happens to be the original creator of the stacks and sleeves.

Recruited to work on a planet called Harlan's World, Hovacs hopes to find Falconer. He also ends up investigating a series of brutal murders that may be connected to her.


We eventually discover Falconer is really the host for an extraterrestrial entity known as an Elder, who wants revenge on the Founders who originally took over Harlan's World. These Founders wanted to eradicate the other Elders and steal the technology behind the stacks.








The remaining Elder uses Falconer's sleeve to get close enough to murder the remaining Founders. But right as the Elder decides to kill everyone (Founders and humans alike), Kovacs takes the Elder into his own stack and lets the uber-laser -- an energy weapon called Angel Fire -- destroy both him and the Elder in order to save the human race. Now that both Kovacs' sleeve and his stack are destroyed, he's dead, right? Not so fast.

Kovacs' artificial intelligence buddy known as Poe (Chris Conner), who was supposedly destroyed in season 1 thanks to an electron destabilizer, makes a surprise return in season 2. But Poe's memories are damaged and his processor corrupted.

Yet after a full reboot, and with the help from another AI known as Dig 301, Poe is finally restored to his old self, complete with some welcome information. Poe has hidden data lurking inside his program that might lead to Kovacs' consciousness.

If that's the case, well, Altered Carbon might return for yet another series on Netflix. That also means we could see yet another actor play Kovacs' new sleeve in a fresh adventure. Netflix didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the possibility of season 3.
