The Coven 2 (US)

**The Coven 2 (US)** is the second season of *The Coven (U.S.)*, and the second official season of *The Reality Channel* franchise. Once again, this season would be featuring 15 players competing for the million dollar prize.

## Background

### Development

After the huge success of The Coven's first ever series, The Reality Channel renewed the series for not only a second series, but also a 3rd, 4th, and 5th series of The Coven, due to the unique cast and the upcoming twists that would be coming to future seasons.

Every week, the players compete in a Proprietor competition wherein the winner will be named as the Proprietor. The Proprietor gains safety for the week along with its perks such as having his/her own private suite and gifts/photos from home. However, the Proprietor also gains the responsibility to name two nominees that will face banishment. In the nomination ceremony, the Proprietor must announce his/her nominees to the rest of the houseguests and must state valid reasons for their nomination often through a speech. Throughout the week, the nominees are allowed secure their safety by encouraging and influencing other houseguests to save them against their fellow nominee.

However a special power, called the Tenant, gives the nominees chance to remove themselves off the block. All houseguests are allowed to compete in a Tenant competition and the winner will have the power to save a nominee, prompting the Proprietor to replace a nominee. If the Tenant Winner decides not to use the veto, the nominations will remain the same.

As the format allows housemates to strategize, the most of the housemates have formed alliances during their time in the house to further themselves in the game. An alliance is a group of housemates that are considered loyal to each other by working together throughout the game.

During the live banishment, the houseguests must individually go to the Diary Room to cast their banishment vote and the nominee with the highest amount of votes will be banished. In addition, the Proprietor is not allowed to cast a vote, unless there has been a tie.

The Jury is a council usually consisting of 7 to 11 houseguests that have been banished out of the game, and they have the responsibility to select the winner at the end of the season.

Usually when it comes to finale night, 2 or 3 people will face the jury, and they jurors will vote for one of them to become the winner. The final eviction sometimes take place days earlier, and others it takes place the same day as the finale.

### Casting

After around 6 different stages of casting and going through over 100,000 applications, the producers found a cast of 15 hopefuls that will compete on the first ever season of The Coven. This season, The Coven decided to aim for a more younger cast, however they still casted some older people to partake in the series.

## Twists

* **Longer Season:** This season would be lasting for 101 Days, 53 days longer than season 1.
* **Return Challenges:** On Day 31, two players out of the first 5 banished players returned to the competition, and on day 73, one player out of the first 4 jurors returned to the competition.
* **Triple Banishment:** On Week 3, the players were announced that it was going to be a triple banishment, meaning 3 Proprietor competitions, 3 Tenant competitions, and 3 people would be banished.
* **Double Banishment Week:** On week 8, for the first time in The Coven (US) history, two players would be evicted within one week. This version of the Double Banishment would be the mainstay for future seasons of The Coven.
* **Double Banishment Night:** On week 11, for the first time in The Coven (US) history, two players would be evicted within one night. This version of the Double Banishment would be the mainstay for future seasons of The Coven.
