Did you know season two of Windfall was released last December? If you haven't checked out the series, now is the perfect time! Check out this week's share, Surviving! About Windfall Windfall is a dystopian sci-fi/fantasy epic from the team that brought you Forgive Me! Ever since the tyrannical Wanda’s castle appeared in the clouds above Windfall City, its residents have built upwards to meet her. But not everyone is convinced of Her Majesty’s Grace. The series follows three brothers living on the surface alongside their family (chosen and otherwise), wary of the Queen’s motives, and showcases what they must do to survive in a world that would rather leave them for dead. Season Two picks up three months after the disastrous events of Contact Day, where massive warships appeared in the sky and destroyed one of the city’s four primary towers. The Wolfpac continues to round up “volunteers” to clear the rubble leftover from the wanton destruction, while the grounders have been forced into the city’s depths to find a fragile sense of peace, as even the city’s elite begin to question what place they have in this new and dangerously unpredictable version of Windfall City. We're excited to announce that we're heading back to the writer's room next month to start working on Season Two of Alpha 8.
