The premise seems just fine, and the team seems capable of delivering a good experience. Here’s what the executive producer Kristian Smith thinks about Hard Cell.

How many episodes will Hard Cell have?

According to IMDb, Hard Cell only has six episodes.

The series is a limited one, so a new season seems highly unlikely. However, Netflix can change its decision if Hard Cells becomes a smash-hit. We’ll see.

What is the release date of Hard Cell?

The series started filming on June 30th, 2021, according to ProductionWeekly. Usually, it takes a year to film and post-produce a single season. This season is relatively small, so you can expect it to take even shorter.

So, we expect Hard Cell to come to Netflix sometime around Q1-Q2 2022. The production is in its baby steps though, it’s best to wait for some official announcements. Still, we don’t expect the series to drop later than the first half of 2022.
