Season 2

**Season 2** is the second season of Paramount+'s *Blood & Treasure*, which was originally supposed to premiered on July 17, 2022. However, by Friday July 15, 2022, the first two episodes dropped early on July 16, 2022.

## Synopsis

*After finding the last of Karim Farouk's (James Callis) black market antiquities, Danny (Matt Barr) and Lexi (Sofia Pernas) quickly end up on a new adventure to find the Spirit Banner of Genghis Khan. Armed thieves attack the Vatican, and Jay Reece (John Larroquette), who has been trying to reach Danny, is killed in prison before he can provide important information. The clues they find lead them to Jay's daughter, Kate (Victoria Diamond), who also happens to be Danny's ex. The hunt revs up when Kate is kidnapped. Soon, Danny and Lexi reunite with Aiden Shaw (Michael James Shaw), bump into Lexi's irate former partner Violet (Michelle Lee), and have to escape a sticky situation involving a card game with crime syndicates from around the world. Eventually, Danny and Lexi discover that Kate wasn't really kidnapped, but is working with the CIA and has her own agenda. Despite that development, the hunt continues — because a dangerous criminal who is consolidating power is also on the hunt.*

## Trivia

* Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, Season 2 was supposed to premiere sometime in the summer of 2020.
* On July 15, 2022, Matthew Federman, the co-creator of the series stated that with Matt Barr being the lead on *Walker: Independence* on the CW, they'd cross that bridge if they ever came to it but since it’s the same corporate umbrella, Federman believes Barr could still be able to do both shows.
* On July 18, 2022, due to CBS News’ coverage of the House select committee’s public hearings on the Jan. 6 terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol bumped *Big Brother*‘s first official eviction of Season 24 was rescheduled. Instead, the network chose to have what it calls “a one-time special showing” of Blood & Treasure‘s Season 2 premiere episode, which debuted Sunday on its new home, on Paramount+.
