Season 2 ignites with Michael Lasaki (Tosin Cole) racing against time to unite London’s scattered superhumans – not just to save Dionne (Adelayo Adedayo), but to stop a government task force codenamed “HYDRA” from exterminating everyone with the Supacell gene. As surveillance drones blanket Peckham and police raids target Black communities, the stakes explode beyond personal survival: Andre’s son AJ (Ky-Mani Carty) develops a dangerous power, Sabrina’s sister Sharleen (Rayxia Ojo) is kidnapped for experiments, and traitors lurk within their ranks.

Creator Rapman dials the urgency to breaking point: powers evolve under stress (Tazer’s lightning now melts concrete), allegiances shatter, and Michael’s time-rewind ability threatens to unravel his mind. This season isn’t just about heroes – it’s about a community weaponized. When HYDRA labels them “terrorists,” the Supacell Five must choose: hide or ignite a revolution where the streets themselves become battlegrounds.

Supacell Season 2 (TV series cast)

1. Tosin Cole as Michael Lasaki-Brown

Michael’s desperation fractures his power: each time-rewind now steals fragments of his identity. Cole portrays his unraveling through dissociative episodes – forgetting Dionne’s face mid-kiss or lashing out at allies. His leadership is tested when he must sacrifice an innocent to breach HYDRA’s HQ.

Cole (b. 1992, London) trained with neurologists to depict cognitive decay. His real-life South London roots fuel Michael’s protective rage.

2. Adelayo Adedayo as Dionne Ofori

Rescued but not free, Dionne’s captivity left her with a lethal power: bio-electric pulses triggered by trauma. Adedayo crafts visceral terror as Dionne accidentally hospitalizes medics and fears touching Michael. Her arc climaxes in a scream that blacks out Canary Wharf.

Adedayo’s (The Responder) activism informs Dionne’s journey from victim to weaponized revolutionary.

3. Nadine Mills as Sabrina Clarke

Sabrina’s super-speed evolves into time-perception manipulation – seeing 10 seconds into the future. Mills shines in high-stakes heists where she navigates bullet trajectories like a chess master. But her gift becomes a curse when she foresees Sharleen’s death… and can’t stop it.

Mills (Boxed) performed 95% of her stunt sequences. Her character’s vulnerability grounds the chaos.

4. Josh Tedeku as Tazer

Tazer’s lightning now carries a corruptive charge – prolonged use erodes his morality. Tedeku masterfully shows his descent: from protecting street kids to torturing HYDRA agents with voltage. His breaking point? Electrocuting a surrendering officer as Rodney watches.

Tedeku (A Town Called Malice) studied real electricians to make power surges tactile. His improvised line “I’m not a hero – I’m a fuse box!” chills.

5. Eric Kofi Abrefa as Andre Simpson

Andre’s strength becomes density manipulation – he can phase through walls but risks collapsing into a singularity. Abrefa’s physicality peaks when he shields AJ from sniper fire by becoming human concrete… then struggles to revert.

Abrefa (Blue Story) drew from his Ghanaian heritage for Andre’s ancestral spirit visions – guiding his power control.

6. Calvin Demba as Rodney Cullen

Rodney’s teleportation gains a dimensional bleed effect – accidentally pulling objects/people from parallel worlds. Demba balances humor and horror when he teleports a hostile 1980s punk into present-day Peckham.

Demba’s (Guilt) comedy background elevates Rodney’s trauma-laced wit. His chemistry with Tazer fractures tragically.

7. Rayxia Ojo as Sharleen Clarke

Captured by HYDRA, Sharleen’s power (object animation) is weaponized – turning lab equipment into sentient torture devices. Ojo’s defiance shines as she secretly sabotages experiments, culminating in a breakout using mutated guard dogs.

Ojo (The Lazarus Project) based Sharleen’s resilience on real wrongful-detention survivors.

8. Ky-Mani Carty as AJ Simpson

AJ’s emerging power (sonic disintegration) mirrors his adolescent rage. Carty’s breakout performance sees him accidentally collapse a school gym, then flee into gang life – forcing Andre to choose: save his son or the Supacell cause.

Carty (stage newcomer) channeled his Brixton upbringing for AJ’s vulnerability. His scream vocals required SFX filtering to shatter glass on set.

9. Michael Salami as Gabriel

Gabriel returns – not as ally, but as HYDRA’s “cured” poster boy. Salami oozes chilling restraint, using insider knowledge to hunt the group. His betrayal cuts deepest when he frames Michael for a bombing.

Salami (Hollyoaks) trained with military consultants for tactical combat. Gabriel’s suit – designed to suppress powers – mirrors his emotional armor.
