How to watch 'Beacon 23' season 2 online, on TV and from anywhere

After virtually every show on TV was delayed by the Hollywood strikes, the Lena Heady led sci-fi returns mere months after its first season concluded. "Beacon 23" season 2 premieres on Sunday, April 7– and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

When season 1 of “Beacon 23 “ arrived at the end of 2023, it caused quite a stir among sci-fi audiences as Zak Penn’s (who also scripted "Ready Player One" and "The Avengers") take on Hugh Howey’s short stories delivered a much richer experience than was expected from its ‘trapped on a space station’ premise. 

Season 2 looks much the same, as we wait to discover Aster’s (Lena Heady) fate after being shot in the season 1 finale and what exactly her connection to the artifact is. We’d also expect her relationship with Halan (Stephan James) to develop further as the pair find themselves at the far reaches of the universe. 

Also returning to the cast for season two are Natasha Mumba as Harmony, Wade Bogert-O'Brien as Bart, Stephen Root as Solomon and Eric Lange as Milan. Jess Salguerio is also back as Salanda while Daniel Malik reprises his role as Finch. 

It looks to be another mind bending outing for the tense sci-fi series, so read on to find out how to watch “Beacon 23” season 2 from wherever you are.
