Will there be a Season 2 of 'Messiah' on Netflix? Fans need to know if Al-Masih is the actual deal or a conman.

The new Netflix series Messiah is probably not a hit with critics (it these days sits at 38 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), but subscribers are still flocking to the non secular mystery in droves. 

The show follows Al-Masih, a man claiming to be the Second Coming of Christ. As he continues to draw in an increasing number of fans, CIA officer Eva Geller units out to discover if he's an expert conman or if truth be told possesses divine powers.

Season 1’s finale set up the opportunity of more episodes, however whether or not we're going to get any stays to be seen. Warning: The paragraphs below include spoilers about Messiah's finishing.

Will there be a Season 2 of Messiah on Netflix?

The streaming service has yet to announce if the series will go back for a Season 2, but Episode 10 — titled "The Wages of Sin" — teased that there’s a lot extra to know about Al-Masih, who’s played by means of Belgian actor Mehdi Dehbi. 

For instance, we nonetheless don’t know if this mysterious determine is the true deal. His talent to apparently resurrect former Mossad agent Aviram Dahan following a fatal aircraft crash surely hints that he’s no unusual human being. However, Eva also discovers that he was once raised to be a swindler and appears to suffer from some mental health issues.

Another theory floating across the web predicts that Al-Masih is a veiled reference to Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, a character in Islamic eschatology whose identify translates to "the false messiah." Based on a scene in the final episode, Den of Geek suggests that Jibril Medina may, actually, be the actual messiah who’s come to confront Al-Masih, the Antichrist. 

No topic the result, we indisputably really feel like this story is far from over. 

Mehdi Dehbi won’t disclose his ideas on Al-Masih’s actual identity. 

The 34-year-old is letting the target market decide what they want to imagine about his personality. "Whatever people want to project on him or on the story or on the show is part of the show itself," he instructed Variety. "It’s really a show that invites people to experience, rather than tell them what to believe."

That's why Mehdi is deliberately cagey when discussing the challenging role. "When it comes to my work and how I approached the character, there was a pact I made with the creator, Michael Petroni, for me to keep all of the intentions, all of the inside work, to myself," he shared. 

In an interview with news.com.au, Michael defined that he purposefully structured the show around the viewer. "That way you can never really know the central character’s point of view or what his motive is or what he thinks of himself or what he thinks is going on. That’s up to the viewer."

For Netflix subscribers hoping to sooner or later get a directly answer about Al-Masih, you could be out of good fortune. "The show never tells you what or who he is," Michael showed. "You end up with a mosaic of opinions about this person."

You can movement all 10 episodes of Messiah’s first season on Netflix now.
