The news comes almost two months after the eight-episode first season of the series starring Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, Sam Song Li, Joon Lee and Highdee Kuan was released on January 4.
The Brothers Sun opened to critical acclaim, with critics praising Oscar winner Yeoh for her stellar performance. The series spent five weeks in the Netflix Top 10 for English-language series, peaking at number 2, but failed to find a large audience. The performance was modest by Netflix standards, with weekly views staying under 7 million and dipping below 2 million for the last two weeks in the Top 10.
The Brothers Sun is described as a dark comedy-drama and family soap opera. It follows a Taipei gangster, Charles Sun (Chien), who has come to terms with his life as a ruthless killer. But when his father is shot by a mysterious assassin, Charles must go to Los Angeles to protect his oblivious mother (Yeoh) and younger brother Bruce (Li).
Co-creator Falchuk was showrunner and produced together with co-creator Wu, director Kevin Tancharoen and Mikkel Bondesen.
Falchuk continues to do business with Netflix through his overall deal with the streamer.
