‘Motorheads’ Season 2 Questions Answered: Is [Spoiler] Dead After Car Crash?

Motorheads ended on a scary note with a car crash — and a possible reveal about a missing person — but what else could be explored in season 2?

During the first season of Prime Video’s new show, which premiered on Tuesday, May 20, Zac (Michael Cimino) finally raced Harris (Josh Macqueen) but it ended catastrophically when Harris’ car flipped over several times — hinting at a possible death.

This came after Zac betrayed Alicia (Mia Healey) by sharing the code to her dad’s garage so Logan (Ryan Phillippe), Ray (Drake Rodger) and the others could steal his cars. Elsewhere, Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo) finally admitted she had feelings for Curtis (Uriah Shelton) but their romance was short-lived after he revealed that his dad was in the getaway car with her dad — who may or may not still be alive.

Us Weekly went directly to Cimino, Collazo, Shelton, Nicolas Cantu, Healey, Macqueen, Rodger and Nathalie Kelley to talk about what comes next — starting with whether Harris survived the car crash.

Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?

“It brings a whole new meaning to the word crash out I guess,” Macqueen quipped to Us about the “pretty crazy ending” to season 1. “But you’re right, he was on a journey of self-destructiveness from the get-go. He was dissent in a way where his identity was peeled from him.”

Macqueen didn’t rule out Harris being alive, adding, “If he does survive, it’s about, ‘OK, I think there’s a really refreshing blank palette that he can then build from.’”

Cimino, meanwhile, joked to Us that “even if” Harris is alive, his character Zac “technically” won the race.

“Season 2 is going to be a complete dynamic shift. It’s going to flip the whole narrative on its head,” Cimino continued. “Now Zac is technically the head honcho in town. There’s going to be a dynamic shift regardless of what happens with Zac and how he approaches it. Whether he internalizes it or if he actually is dealing with it is the big question mark.”

While Harris’ fate remains unclear, the crash will affect everyone. Even Cantu’s character, Marcel, who was planning to leave for New York in the summer, is likely facing a shakeup.

“He’s going to be coming back to a changed town. The thing is he’s going to feel like he’s the new kid on the block coming back from that trip,” he hinted. “But I think it’s going to be great. He’s going to have such a fun time — but there’s so much happening in Ironwood that he’s not going to be there for.”

There’s also the issue of Zac betraying Alicia after spending all season vying for her heart. Healey weighed in on where Alicia’s story goes from here — including whether it might be time for a change in her personal life.

“She’s kind of in a tough spot, right? Because so much of Zac and Alicia’s relationship is really built on a mutual trust. He’s kept so many secrets for her and also not told her certain things when Harris was cheating to protect her. I think she always, to a fault, felt like he was going to look out for her and protect her,” she explained to Us. “Now that he has gone and done that, that’s a huge betrayal of trust and any betrayal of trust is a very hard thing to come back from.”

Who Should Play Ryan Phillippe’s Brother Christian in ‘Motorheads’ Season 2?

Healey doesn’t see Alicia forgiving Zac anytime soon. (Cimino had a different outlook, telling Us that he had no doubt Alicia is “going to forgive” Zac.)

“If it happens, I don’t know what that looks like. It’ll be a completely different journey for them to kind of rediscover each other as these people who are flawed and they’re human and make mistakes,” she added. “That’s something that I also really love about these characters is that there is no perfect villain or perfect hero. There’s just people.”

Speaking of flawed — but lovable — characters, Rodger’s Ray showed glimpses of a guy looking to be more understood by his loved ones. That hasn’t happened by the end of season 1 but Rodger is holding out hope.

“It’s been fun to get to play a bad guy. Even though Ray does have the flex of good in him and there is that chance, I don’t know [where he goes],” he teased. “I’m very drawn to him wanting to be good, but ultimately failing. I kind of like that.”

Rodger continued: “I feel like as an actor — when you’re playing the bad guy — you don’t have to be so likable. … Ray just can’t do anything right [for those in his life]. He wants the love and admiration of his dad and his brother but no matter what he does, he will never get it.”

Ray’s brother, Curtis, has his own issues to deal with by the time season 1 comes to an end. After trying to move on from Caitlyn because he thought she wasn’t interested, the fictional couple finally acted on their feelings. But Curtis had to tell Caitlyn about how his dad helped her father rob the bank that led to his infamous heist.

“I don’t think it would necessarily be a limiting factor. I know it’s going to be shocking to her and to everyone to see what the origin of these characters is and how it came to be,” Shelton shared with Us. “But the one thing I love about Caitlyn is that she’s very good about recentering and finding the goal and finding what’s important. She’s the glue that holds everyone together. I think she appreciates Curtis on a level where I don’t think it would be possible for her to just let it slip because of the sins of the father.”

Collazo had a different perspective on the situation. “It’s probably the biggest loss and betrayal that she’s felt and it’s probably No. 2 in terms of emotional damage right after the missing dad of it all,” she noted. “I hope she can see a way forward but I don’t know.”

Earlier in the season, Caitlyn formed a friendship with Kiara (Johnna Dias-Watson), who secretly had a crush on her. Collazo weighed in on whether Caitlyn’s journey with her sexuality would be explored after Kiara came out in season 1.

“We got the scripts as we were shooting so I didn’t know where it was going to go at the beginning. Johnna and I talked about it where Caitlyn has been in Kiara’s position with someone else before where she had all these big feelings — but she wasn’t quite ready to allow that part of herself to be seen by anyone else,” she explained. “So now Caitlyn being on the other side of it, she has a lot of sympathy because she understands how Kiara feels. The show’s about a lot of firsts and it’s a first for Caitlyn and Kiara in different ways and it’s kind of ambiguously ended in season 1.”

She continued: “I hope that it gets explored in season 2 a little more, especially because Curtis sort of dropped that truth bomb on her and I don’t know if she can even look him in the face after that. But it’s kind of undefined and messy and confusing. But I think that it is so real and truthful and it doesn’t have to be defined. It’s beautiful and I hope we do get to keep exploring it. But I like that it’s a question mark of a dynamic between us. It was really fun for both of us to play.”

Collazo noted that the show “does leave the door open,” adding, “I think she’s comfortable waiting for Kiara because she’s like, ‘I’m not going to push. I’m going to give you the space that I wish I’d been given when I was in your shoes.’”

Motorheads also left the option open for a prequel. While speaking to Us, executive producers John A. Norris and Jason Seagraves showed support for expanding the universe.

“We absolutely want to do a Motorheads prequel. I already know what I would call it. We want Motorheads prequel,” Norris teased while Seagraves added, “We want Motorheads: Germany. We want Motorheads everything,”

Motorheads is currently streaming on Prime Video.
