After fans were worried that TV show Geek Girl would be next on the Netflix chopping block, the series has presumably been saved from cancellation as it heads for a second season.

Almost one year after season 1 hit screens, Netflix has renewed Geek Girl for season 2, with the streamer announcing via Tudum that "the second season is slated to film in Summer 2025 and will premiere on Netflix in 2026."

Geek Girl premiered in 2024, starring Emily Carey, best known for playing young Alicent Hightower in HBO’s House of the Dragon. The series follows awkward high schooler Harriet Manners, whose life is turned upside down when she is scouted by a London model agent. However, Harriet’s journey of self-reinvention does not go so smoothly as she struts closer to the runway.

Showrunner Zoë Rocha is also returning for season 2. "The amazing audience reaction to Season 1 was truly incredible, and we can’t wait to bring this next chapter to life," said Rocha to Netflix. "I’m thrilled to be working with Holly [Smale] and Emily [Carey] again, and to continue to build and expand the fabulous Geek Girl universe."
