Treasure Island awaits renewal as David Oyelowo discusses its future
The MGM+ adaptation has completed its six-episode run, with an ending that allows the characters’ story to continue beyond the novel.
MGM+ had not confirmed a second season of Treasure Island as of November 15, 2026, when its first season ended. Star David Oyelowo has expressed interest in continuing, while suggesting that audience enthusiasm would determine whether there is demand for more.
Speaking to TV Insider, Oyelowo said viewers would ask for another season if they enjoyed the adaptation. The actor, who plays Long John Silver, also said he saw many possibilities for further stories involving its characters.
Adapted from the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, the series began on October 11. Its original commission covered six episodes, a run now complete. The finale departs from the book’s conclusion and leaves room for adventures beyond the original story, but MGM+ has announced no plans to pursue them.
The cast also includes Tom Sweet playing Jim Hawkins, Hayley Atwell playing Bess Hawkins and Jack Huston playing Aaron Graham. U.S. viewers can stream the complete first season on MGM+, including via its Prime Video add-on.
