We all enjoy a good origin tale, and now that Ryan Murphy and Evan Romansky have brought Nurse Mildred Ratched of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to life, we can all discuss her character with confidence.
After combining their individual creative abilities, the duo will release Ratched, a Netflix series in 2020 that will explore Mildred’s life before the Oscar-winning picture was released in 1975. The series will consist of 10 episodes and will premiere on Netflix in 2020.
When viewers first saw the character, she appeared to be kind (though a little unorthodox and twisted), and they were immediately drawn in as they sought to figure out how she evolved into the ruthless nurse Louise Fletcher that was made famous.
With 48 million households tuning in throughout the first 28 days of the season, it became the most-watched premiere season of the year 2020.
Nonetheless, it should be emphasized that Netflix counts watching a series as at least two minutes, thus those figures should be treated with caution.
If we look to the future, will there be more episodes to look forward to?
Ratched Season 2 Release Date: When Will It Air?
While season two has been announced, there has been no news on when we may expect to see it on the screen for the first time.
As of December 2021, there have been no more developments in this regard.
Although the first season premiered back in 2020, during the height of the epidemic, production hasn’t even begun yet, because of the demanding schedules of the cast and Ryan Murphy’s ever-expanding list of programs to produce.

Ratched Season 2: Who’s in the Cast?
It’s also quite likely that Cynthia Nixon will reprise her role as Gwendolyn Briggs, her love interest and lawyer, and that Finn Wittrock will reprise his role as her brother, the twisted Edmund Tolleson.
In addition to Sophie Okonedo as Charlotte Wells and Brandon Flynn as Henry Osgood, Judy Davis will reprise her role as Nurse Betsy Bucket, Amanda Plummer will reprise her role as Louise, and Vincent D’Onofrio will reprise his role as Governor George Milburn, among others.
However, there are a few familiar characters who, tragically, did not make it through the inaugural season’s first episode.
Dr. Richard Hanover (Jon Jon Briones), nurse Huck Finnigan (Charlie Carver), Lenore Osgood (Sharon Stone), Dolly(Alice Englert), Charles Wainwright(Corey Stoll), and Harold (Jon Jon Briones) have all regrettably passed away unless they return in flashback form (Jermaine Williams).
Although no new cast members have been announced as of yet, we wouldn’t be shocked if some new patients made their way to Lucia State Hospital in the near future.
