No, there is not a season 2 of Containment and there are no plans to make one. The 2016 CW television series Containment was designed and produced as a limited event series based on the Belgian series Cordon, meaning it was intended to tell a complete self-contained story in one season of 13 episodes. It premiered in April 2016 and concluded in July 2016. After the first season, The CW officially cancelled the show due to declining ratings, with viewership dropping from 1.7 million for the premiere to under 800,000 by the finale, which was low for the network, and mixed critical reviews with a 53 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The creators wrote the season finale to function as a series finale, providing closure to most major character arcs, including the fate of the cordon, the virus, and key relationships, though some fans felt it was rushed. The cast including David Gyasi, Christina Moses, and Chris Wood moved on to other projects. The 2015 British film Containment is a standalone movie with no sequel either. While the show gained renewed interest during the COVID-19 pandemic because of its prescient themes about quarantine and pandemics, Netflix and The CW have not revived it, and no streaming service has announced a reboot or continuation. The story is considered complete.
