From my experience anyway. Second season of a show, second game, book, whatever.

Usually the best.

They learn from their mistakes and improve upon their successes, while having the benefit of the audience not finding the concept tiring yet.

For TV/movies, while I'm not sure I agree wholly, the first season/movie has to spend a lot of time introducing characters and ideas; the second doesn't have that burden but is closer to the original vision than all subsequent entries

In trilogies, book 2 is the awkward filler between the setup and the conclusion and tends to be weakest of the three as a result.

It avoids the burdens of introducing the world and characters while avoiding the difficulty of having an ending.

Plus it already has a foundation to work with and being only #2 means it wont have franchise fatigue yet

Mistakes from the first can be corrected.

Also the creators still have passion for the project's creativity and soul and haven't turned to the greedy dark side just yet
