However, these numbers are inaccurate, as they don't include Netflix's wide global audience, or mobile data. Netflix does not release viewing data, and some have speculated that Altered Carbon averaged 1.2 million viewers after three days and 2.5 million after seven days, indicating modest viewership. Season Two was released three years later on February 27, 2020. The official trailer was released on January 11, 2018. The series premiered on Netflix on February 2, 2018.

Despite the cancellation, the producers were looking for more distributors. The novel includes never-before-seen images, concept art, storyboards, and more. The book offers a behind the scenes look at both Season One and Season Two. On March 31, 2020, an official behind the scenes book, Altered Carbon: The Art and Making of the Series will be published. Miguel Sapochnik directed the pilot episode. According to Kalogridis, the complex nature of the novel and its R-rated material meant that it was a tough sell for studios before Netflix ordered the series. The series was first ordered by Netflix in January 2016, fifteen years after showrunner Laeta Kalogridis had originally optioned the novel with the intention of adapting it into a feature film.
