Both shows are Murphy's work, and the super-producer may be busy for a while

"Nobody knows anything about Season 2 Because Ryan has a lot of things he has going on," Paulson said

It seems likely that "Ratchet" Season 2 will not be filmed until the spring or summer of 2021 If so, it will not be released on Netflix until early 2022

Little is known about the exact plot details of Ratched season 2, but some inferences can be made from the ending of season 1

In the finale, Edmund escapes from Lucia State Hospital with the help of fellow patient Charlotte and motel manager Louise Meanwhile, Mildred has moved to Mexico to start over with her beloved Gwendolyn (diagnosed with lung cancer)

Then, after a two-year time slip, Edmund calls Mildred He believes that she had previously planned to kill him, and tells her that he has found her new hiding place and intends to kill her and Gwendolyn Mildred replies: Mildred's answer: only if she kills him first

Ratched's whole idea is to approach the era of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

"We are definitely doing a second season, but if we were to continue, the plan would be to do about four seasons," Paulson explained to Ellecom The fourth season would end in the "Cuckoo's Nest" era But I don't think we'll be in the hospital (in the movie) unless it's before McMurphy is there, before all the patients are there, unless you want to see a CG Danny DeVitos or Jack Nicholson acting with me, but I don't know if that's how it's done I don't"
