Netflix's latest comedy drama The politician has some fascinating set-up in its final episode for season 2 so here's what we understand so far about the future of Payton Hobart.

Played by Ben Platt, Payton is a student at Saint Sebastian High School with a very rigorous and carefully formulated game plan to become the U.S. president – beginning with winning the student body president election and then going to Harvard.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, The Politician has a rich cast that includes Jessica Lange, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ian McDermott and January Jones, as well as a promising cast of newcomers who make up Payton's classmates.

The finale of season 1 also presents Judith Light as New York State Senator Dede Standish and Bette Midler as their personnel chief, Hadassah Gold, setting them up to become regulars in season 2 of The Politician.



Payton's mission to become president has already experienced some major bumps in the road, and he still has a long way to go before he has a real shot at the White House. Here's everything we know so far about The Politician season 2.



Netflix shows don't follow the typical patterns of network TV, where shows tend to premiere new seasons at the same time each year. In fact, some Netflix series take breaks of anything from 18 months to two years between seasons.

However, given that The Politician doesn't have to deal with complex special effects or animation and season 2 will presumably be eight episodes long, like the first season, we could expect to see more episodes as early as September 2020.
