Craftopia, the non-scripted crafting competition series, has been renewed for a second season at HBO Max.
Craftopia was an instant hit when it premiered on HBO Max as it provided viewers with a unique spin on crafting. It challenges crafty individuals to create wondrous creations.
The streamer ordered eight-part series Craftopia: Holiday Showdown, which will feature adult contestants for the first time. The first season featured children up to 15 competing to win craft challenges.
The first season launched in May. Hosted and exec produced by YouTuber Lauren Riihimaki, the new series will launch in 2021.
Additionally, the streamer will launch four festive holiday-themed specials featuring kids later this year. It will air two Halloween episodes later this month followed by two winter episodes in November.
Judges Crystal Anderson and JP Connelly will be providing their feedback to the crafty contestants. But who are the cast for the second season of the show?
What is Craftopia?
Hosted by YouTuber Lauren Riihimaki Craftopia challenges its contestants to compete in a number of crafting challenges.
Crafts range from designing festive holiday platters to creating flowers and plants. Each episode showcases the talents of young contestants and their creative imaginations.
If the contestants build what the judges consider to be the best creation overall they stand to win the ‘Craftrophia’ and $10,000 dollars.
When will Season Two of Craftopia drop on HBO?
“Craftopia” fans were delighted to learn last October that the crafting series will return for a second season. According to Deadline, HBO Max has ordered an 8-episode season titled “Craftopia: Holiday Showdown.”
The streamer’s executive vice president of original non-fiction and kids programming, Jennifer O’Connell said, “We’re looking forward to keeping our audience’s creative juices flowing with the return of this imaginative, family-friendly show.”
She added, “We are thrilled to work with Lauren and the B17 team on sparking craft ideas in homes everywhere with our upcoming specials and season two.”
As of right now, HBO Max has yet to announce when season two will be made available for streaming. All eight episodes of season one dropped in May of 2020, followed by four special episodes later in October and November. If the upcoming season follows a similar structure, we can expect the competition to rev up this upcoming May.

Who will be in the Craftopia Season 2 cast?
Though “Craftopia” is known for placing children in completion with one another, the second season of the series will take a new approach (via TV Series Finale). After only allowing kids between the ages of 12 and 15 to demonstrate their superior crafting skills, “Craftopia” has decided to put adults to the test.
Host Lauren Riihimaki said, “For season two, not only are the contestants literally bigger, so are the challenges and we’re taking everything to the next level. It’s going to be an epic ride and I’m so grateful to be part of a show that embodies everything I love about being creative.”
HBO also shared that this upcoming season will feature many more expert guests from around the country. Though “Craftopia” wants to keep the crafting masters’ identities a secret. It’ll surely be exciting to see who stops by the workroom this year and what insight they have to offer the competitors.
HBO Max also revealed that the upcoming season will feature many more expert guests from across the United States including Diego Montoya.
Host Lauren Riihimaki said “The upcoming holiday episodes are cute beyond words with talented kids that will melt your hearts. For season two, not only are the contestants literally bigger, so are the challenges and we’re taking everything to the next level.”
