If season one set up the world of The Rain, the new series will take us deeper into the story with some brand new settings.
All the action will be taking place in a post-apocalyptic Denmark with the human race still trying to survive against the odds.
At the end of season one, Simone (played by Alba August) rescued her sick brother Rasmus (Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen) and took him away from evil company Apollon.
Fans learned Apollon had purposely created the virus in the rain and put the cure in Rasmus so they could hold the rest of the world to ransom.
Although Simon and Rasmus fled, the rest of the youngsters were still trapped in the Apollon quarantine zone with nanocapsules in their bodies that would kill them should they leave the area.
Presumably, season two will see them getting rid of these nanocapsules and escaping from the quarantine zone.
The trailer for season two also offers some clues about new settings as Simone and Rasmus remain fugitives from Apollon.
