The ending of Legacies season 2 explained

First, the good news: Rafael and the other students who had died and been made puppets of the necromancer were brought back to life, in keeping with the Necromancer’s deal. Now, the bad news: Even after the transfer of Dark Josie’s energy was complete, Landon remained dead. And, that wasn’t all. Even after helping Josie defeat her dark self, Hope still hadn’t regained consciousness.

So, how did all of that happen? Sadly for our heroes, Landon’s continued death may be a result of not reading the fine print on their deal with the demon. Although the unbreakable covenant spell the group made with the Necromancer meant that whatever terms were agreed upon had to be followed through, Rafael made a critical mistake during the negotiation stage. When he tried to include Landon in the resurrection deal, he asked the demon, “Can you bring Landon back, too?” The Necromancer said that he could, which was not a lie. He could have brought Landon back to life, but he clearly chose not to do so and, because of Rafael’s poor wording, Landon remained dead.

As for Hope, we’ll have to wait until the next episode to see exactly why she has yet to regain consciousness. It’s possible that she’s still trapped within Josie, or that, when Josie transferred her powers into the coin, Hope became stuck there, too. While we’re dying to know what will happen to the show’s protagonists, we do have to admit that Julie Pec was right: This did turn out to be a cliffhanger worthy of a finale.
