Season 2

The **second season** of REBELReloaded's fanfiction series, **The Savages**, premiered on May 24, 2016 and ended on August 22, 2016. The series was renewed for a second season on June 6, 2015 after five episodes of Season 1 premiered. The season was also renewed for 2 more episodes than its regular length. According to REBELReloaded, both Season 1 and Season 2 were filmed simultaneously as a total of 18 episodes.

The second season is set a month after the events of Season 1, continuing the second and third quarters of junior year at James A. Masters High School. The season revolves around the death of Felix Winchester, scarlet letters that terrorize The Savages, Joe and Nate's clique, The Glamouflage, Trae and Zachary's relationship, and Carl's family troubles with a known drug lord.

In contrast to the first season, this season focuses solely on plot, but many political and controversial beliefs/concepts are explored, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, abortion, family disownment, and suicide. In fact, this season continues with many cultural references. Although most of Season 1 was explicit, this season is more explicit than its predecessor.

The second season has fourteen main roles, with eleven of the characters reprising their roles from the first season. However, Nolan Gerard Funk's character Felix is deceased during the entire season, but his main role is increased through flashbacks. Three recurring characters were promoted to regular cast members: Kira Kosarin (Sena Demir), Summer Boissiere (Iesha Bennett), and Jessica Lange (Jennifer Gordon).

The first two episodes of the season were met with critical acclaim amongst fans, who praised the continuity, musical performances and character development of Trae and Sydney. The development of the minor characters Alyssa Tanner and Claudia Wu were also praised by fans, as they were originally introduced as "laughing stock". However, some were critical with Trae's decision to quit the Savages.
