Wyatt is Kurt and Goldie's only biological child together

It's game time once again for Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell, as the father-son duo will pair up on the small screen once again for a new season of their hit show.

Apple TV+'s series from Legendary Entertainment has officially been renewed for a second season. What's more, it was announced that the show will also be producing multiple spin-offs.

In the series, Kurt, 73, and Wyatt, 37, play Army officer Lee Shaw at different stages of his life, so while they don't share any scenes together, they do get to embody the exact same character.

Morgan Wandell, head of international development for Apple TV+ shared in a statement with Deadline: " has left an indelible imprint on the hearts, minds and imaginations of audiences around the world, led by the brilliance of Chris [Black], Matt [Fraction], Kurt, Wyatt and the incredibly gifted talented cast and creative team.

"We couldn't be more excited for viewers to not only have the chance to experience even more thrills in season two, but to embark on epic, new journeys in the franchise, as we expand Legendary's Monsterverse."
