Cindy Holland – VP of Content Acquisition – has said that while Netflix “absolutely” checks the overnight performance of its shows, she and her colleagues wait for 28 days until deciding whether a show has reached its targets.
This means that the very earliest we could expect news on a renewal for Followers would be late March – the first season of Followers was filmed from March to July in 2019, so season two would be filming later in the year.
However, with a four-month shooting period, it's still feasible that season two could be ready by early 2021.
