## Release

## Production

### First Draft

Early planning on *Season 2* began before the first season was finished filming. It originally included thirteen episodes that followed a different storyline than the first season, this one involving clones. A minisode was filmed called *Hunted: A Nate’s Mysteries Short* that set up this storyline. However, the second half of the first season was increasingly losing viewers. This led to the plans for the second season being reconsidered and subsequently changed.

### Second Draft

For a brief moment, it was being considered to end the show after the first season. Basham ultimately decided to continue with a five episode conclusion that would have been the second season. This draft was more similar to the final product, but these ideas were dropped once the first season’s finale brought in the most viewers since the second episode.

### Final Draft

The Season 1 finale’s success extended the episode count to eight. On January 9, it was confirmed that a second season would be coming in the fall of 2021.

### Filming

Filming for the second season began in early January of 2021. It concluded in late July that same year.

### Music

A new composer, Andrew Kopacz, began making music for the series in this season.

Nate's Mysteries: Season 2 (Music from the Original TV Series) was released on January 5, 2022.
