Picking up five months after failing to reroute the vessel, season two follows the crew, including fiery engineer Billie (Lenora Crichlow); unpredictable head of customer relations Matt (Zach Woods); and faithful right-hand Iris (Suzy Nakamura), as they struggle to lead, calm, control, and, if need be, hide from increasingly unruly passengers.
