The Swiss drama series ‘New Heights’ (‘Neumatt’), created by Marianne Wendt, is a riveting and impassioned look at a Swiss farming family. The plot unfolds at the crossroads of the urban and country. Michie returns to his small hometown on the outskirts of Zurich after his father’s death to assist with the family business. His mother begins to have second thoughts, his sister fiercely opposes the decision, and his brother does not appear to be confident in himself.

Michi risks everything by investing in the already failing family farm, and his life spins out of control. The story is still full with interesting characters with fascinating stories to share. The series is stressful, dynamic, passionate, and familial all at the same time. Following the ebbs and flows of the first season, you may be eager to learn the location of the second season as soon as possible. Allow us to keep you updated in that scenario.

Release Date for New Heights Season 2

Season 1 of ‘New Heights’ premiered globally on Netflix on May 13, 2022. The show will have a special screening at the Zurich Film Festival on September 25, 2021, before to its global distribution. The series began on SRF’s primary channel in Switzerland on September 26, 2022. The first season contains eight episodes with an average runtime of 47 minutes. Let us now speculate about the prospects of a sophomore campaign.

The creator and her team have made no mention of a second season. As a result, whether or not a second season is a possibility remains speculative for the time being. However, when it comes to critical reception, the series did not disappoint with a solid narrative and interesting and nuanced characters. For decades, farmer suicides have been an emotional socio-psychological issue. This series highlights the importance of returning to the basic difficulties of ordinary people, who are either heroes or villains in their situations.

Following the success of episodes like ‘Yellowstone,’ forays into the problems of modern farming are gaining popularity among audiences in the United States and around the world. As a result, following its success on the national stage, the series had an equally high potential on the streaming behemoth Netflix. The series is at the crossroads of city/village and family/individual dichotomies. It also keeps some universal truths hidden. As a result, there were few polarities in reception. Looking at the finale, there is still room for the show to return for a second season.

Michi resolves to give the farm life another shot in the finale, while splitting up with Joel indefinitely. Katherina’s dreams lead her to Martin’s caravan, and while she can’t sell the farm, she can go wherever she wishes as long as Michi is present. Sarah’s ending is likewise up in the air, as she grows distant from Angie and her family. However, the series is initially produced by Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF), and the producers appear to have the last decision.

The first season began production in 2020, and with no renewal news by May 2022, it appears unlikely that the makers will continue with the project. Marianne Wendt, in particular, appears to be at ease with concise and hard-hitting storylines, as her earlier invention, ‘Eden,’ and co-production, ‘Der Irland-Krimi,’ were both limited presentations. She might be uncomfortable with the extended narrative framework. As a result, it appears exceedingly improbable that a second season of ‘New Heights’ will ever be produced.
