The second season of Lucha Underground that premieres in early 2016 will be taped once again from The Temple in Boyle Heights, California. There had been some talk of filming from Texas or Mexico. Filming is expected to start back up in December, with pre-production (ie. scripting, promos, vignettes, etc.) already underway.
Season 2 was in jeopardy for so long due to the high costs associated with filming the show. Episodes for the coming season will be less than the $400,000 per episode from season 1, but the producers are doing everything they can to make sure the less-expensive production values are not noticeable. Season 2 will have fewer than the 39 episodes that comprised the first season.
Lucha Underground was able to get all the pieces in place for a second season, but company officials are still trying to work out additional TV deals that would increase their exposure in Mexico and the United States. The big target for them is Telavisa Channel 5, which would give them financial assistance for this season as well as greater exposure in Mexico than WWE, AAA or CMLL.
