As previously reported, the feeling in Lucha Underground is that a second season is a sure thing. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, filming for the new season should begin in August, just after the current season finishes airing.
There are two key deals in current discussions for the company, both involving new TV carriers. The talks are to get the Spanish-language version of the show on Univision in the US, which would be huge for the company, and Televisa in Mexico which would also be big as it would give them stronger exposure than even AAA. Univision is announcing its new season schedule at their upfront presentation on May 12th.
If those two TV deals do not go through, there will likely need to be some serious cutbacks as the show costs a lot. Part of that is due to the location, and there has been discussion of moving to a different local, possibly in Texas. As previously noted, Rey Mysterio and Alberto El Patron are expected to be the top two stars for the promotion.
Opinionated View- First no such thing as a sure thing. Second I highly doubt they are up getting better TV clearance than AAA it be like ROH getting on a bigger network than WWE. I can think of many ways to save money. No more stupid bands playing during tapings cut down on the lame boring over shot backstage segments. Also get rid of El Patron who adds nothing and don't waste money on Rey Mysterio a guy that that injures himself brushing his teeth.
