While production for Season 2 of "the Wilds" did not begin immediately, partially due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it wasn't that long before Amazon and the show's cast were back in action. In April 2021, the official "The Wilds" Twitter page posted a video of different cast and crew members on set announcing the show's upcoming return. However, things aren't entirely the same this time around.
In addition to a new season, the show is also being filmed in a new location. According to Variety, production for the series moved from New Zealand to Queensland, Australia. Part of this decision was to obtain higher federal funding from Australia, for which Amazon and ABC Signature had to hire considerably more Australian workers.
Even as these developments occurred, however, the eventual release date of Season 2 remained a mystery. Luckily, the recent post on Instagram has answered this question. Now, "The Wilds" Season 2 is officially set to premiere on Amazon Prime on May 6, 2022.
