The Bad Guys is one of DreamWorks’ biggest modern successes, and just months after the heist-loving crew of famous, anthropomorphic animal criminals returned to the screen for The Bad Guys 2 in 2025, Netflix debuted its spinoff series The Bad Guys: The Series. That show returned for its second season on April 2nd, with all 10 episodes of Season 2 now streaming on Netflix. The series takes place before the events of the movies and follows Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha in their early days as they try (and fail) to be “bad” and build their reputation.
Netflix’s The Bad Guys: The Series Is a Fun Prequel for Fans of the Movies
The fast-paced, wild antics of the Bad Guys in the original 2022 movie and its sequel were a blast to see on the big screen, and Netflix’s prequel series is a pretty great look at how they got there. The series pulls back the curtain on the crew’s amateur days, offering a look at how they developed their individual skills and teamwork to become the famous crew known in the films. The show expands on the charming character dynamics that make the crew so great and easy to invest in, highlighting the camaraderie and unique skills of each member, and delivers that all with high-energy heist stories that feel like a fun, low-stakes caper.
