There is no information yet about whether this series has been renewed or not.
His ratings are not very good, on the Starz channel they are worse than on the verge, but many series have already been closed and he may be given a chance.

The episode hasn't been released yet, but I've already watched it...
well, not about that now. in general, the last episode came out very strange, either because the 7th episode was shown purely in the past, or it just happened that way, but it seemed to me completely strange and as if inserted from some other series
, I don't know if there will be a sequel, but the season was relatively good, except The final episode

I agree, the transition to abduction and the denouement of the season is too abrupt. I'm a little disappointed that Myth didn't take out the whole mansion. Rambo style :) abilities only)

@Ulyana20: As for me, it's the opposite - the coolest episode of the season. Finally, they showed Mifani's abilities in action, when she completely controls them, and not just shies away from fright. And Gestalt is the perfect capture group that works as one. Although they are one)))
In general, a great series and an interesting series. I already want to continue! And to have more Catherine Steadman (Eliza Gestalt) in the frame, she's gorgeous!

Gestalt is wonderful.
In general, the series can either end the series or develop into a second season.
Let's see how it happens.

On the contrary, I liked this episode the most. Miffany can do more now, she's developing, and I'd really like to see the story continue.

It seems to me that if the political aspect is hushed up, her promotion to queen suggests itself.

@smetana_sg: Daniel O'Malley - The Rook in Russian is due to be released sometime in September, AST publishing house, and there is already a second one in English, Stiletto, on the Internet.
Judging by the description, the discrepancy with the series is quite strong.))

@vin: To put it mildly, the book is more like a utopian fairy tale with a frenzied focus on the supernatural. There is no emphasis on psychology at all, and even everyone's favorite Gestalt is a completely different character. I do not advise you to perceive the series or the book as related works - it is very disappointing. They are united by the name of the main character, the loss of memory at the beginning of the story, and the very structure of the secret organization with chess pieces.

There were no forces familiar to the viewer, and it looks very cool in the series. The power is not an integral part, but it does not look like something godlike.
The main character constantly looks scared and nervous. I don't understand how it wasn't revealed right away. However, it was revealed and it immediately becomes clear why. She couldn't convey any confidence and strength even at the end.
The gestalt is top-notch.
I hope there will be a second series.

P.S. Judging by the description of the book, there were more events, more people with abilities.

Gestalt, with his collective mind, handles everything very coolly. Finally, Mifani has learned to control her abilities))) Let's look forward to the second season!!!

a cool ending. I was infuriated by Gestalt all season, and after the previous episode, my attitude changed dramatically:) It's an interesting trick - now everything that happened looks a little different. I hope the series will be extended and we will find out the continuation of this novel.

Well, he gracefully let her go in the end, but said he would miss her, oh...

Since August 14th in the notes, or how could I forget to post a review?!)
Series - Ahhh! We unlocked GG's abilities, got rid of the main antagonist of this season, showed cool new EVAs, and made some pretty good connections for the next one (oh, gods, I hope it will be!). Such a large-scale reserve for the next season: What will happen to Monica? What will happen to Shakka? Is it over with Lugat?(unlikely) What will Linda and the resistance do, and, of course, the love line of GG.
"Rook" is the best thing that happened to me this TV season, especially the seventh episode)))

I don't understand where she got so much money, a bunch of huge stashes.
They couldn't pay her that much.

Maybe someone like me didn't notice: in episode 1, there was a moment when Mifani drives up to the organization's building and a girl knocks on the car, when I watched for the first time I didn't understand why it was shown, but after reviewing it, I realized that it was her sister))

Yes, well, it's terribly sad (although the series was weak in places, but not weaker than the same "Manifesto", which goes on quietly). I watched with interest, plus, the gestalt is incredibly good... eh. ((

@Raven_Kaosa: your comparison is not entirely correct, due to the fact that the series are on completely different channels. and everyone has their own policy. Moreover, NBC treats its projects very strangely.

very sorry. I liked the ensemble of heroes so much (and where to admire them all together now?), but the channel did not share our delight - https://tvline.com/2020/03/04/the-rook-cancelled-no-season-2-starz/

I watched the series in the background. Unfortunately, I didn't go in. The idea, as always, is good, but the execution is lame. I watched it for the sake of Gestalt.

A cool, fascinating series! I'll share the delight of the Gestalt quadruplets.
I would love to watch the second season, it's a pity that it wasn't renewed. It's surprising that the rating is so low.

I watched this series as it was released back in 2019, and after saying "now you'll find out everything," I didn't want to watch any more because I didn't want to lose an interesting story, and now it's time to finish watching. Of course, I've forgotten some minor lines in 6 years, but this is a great reason to reconsider)
