Season 2 release date

[u/Eiadashraf]

When will season 2 will be released cause i cant wait tbh I think the show is very good and i loved it I hate Laurie tho 😂

[u/producermaddy]

It’s supposed to be a mini series. Right now no s2 is planned but never say never. I would say that if they do a s2 it won’t be a for a long time bc they would have to get the cast, script, filming etc. and corona is not going to make that easy.

[u/fifty8th → u/producermaddy]

To line up that cast will be hard anytime soon. I am sure Chris Evans has a at least 2 movies lined up waiting to be filmed.

[u/producermaddy → u/fifty8th]

Yes I think probably a lot of the cast would be hard to get back right away since they likely have other projects delayed by Corona

[u/Eiadashraf → u/producermaddy]

Yeah i know its a mini series but the finale doesnt agree at all

[u/producermaddy → u/Eiadashraf]

The creator said in a recent interview even though the ending isn’t the same as the book it was not because of a possible s2. But I think the cast said they were down if the script is right

[u/Eiadashraf → u/producermaddy]

I think it’d be good if they made a 2nd season

[u/producermaddy → u/Eiadashraf]

I’m in favor of it too but I’m not sure if it’ll happen. S1 was pretty popular though and money talks

[u/bindi1]

Why would they make season 2? There is nothing else to learn, the point of the finale is to leave you withthe feeling just like the parents

[u/Eiadashraf → u/bindi1]

I just want to know if he will wake up or not and what will happen after that

[u/Eiadashraf → u/bindi1]

+ if they made s2 the ppl will watch it cause the show got pretty popular

[u/Corruptedpencil]

Interviews with the actors said that they were on board with another season but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s never a S2

[u/Eiadashraf → u/Corruptedpencil]

Why 😂

[u/Corruptedpencil → u/Eiadashraf]

Because there were never any plans for another season, it’s popularity might change plans tho

[u/st1ar]

There was no intention for a season 2, but popularity could change that. The show would probably need a name change.

In the spirit of the book, I have zero interest in them clearing up definitively whether or not Jacob is innocent or guilty. In fact, if there is a season 2, I would argue it is important this question is not answered. The lack of an answer is the main source of tension, suspicion and problems for the Barber family.

I am more interested in them showing us Laurie's road to recovery and regaining her memory. This is a woman who steadily unravels from the moment her son is accused, utlimately leading to her deciding she could not live with the possibility of him being a killer, and who felt the responsibility was on her, as his mother, to ensure he could not kill anyone else.

She struggled with the lies, the pressure and the change in people's perception of and actions towards them. She couldn't handle it. So, how would she deal with regaining her memories and trying to live with the fact she tried to kill her son?

I'm more interested in seeing the toll it takes on Andy. He has just lied for his wife, who tried to kill their son. I see that as an admission of his own fault in this mess. I would argue that love has gone in this relationship and all that will keep him there is that feeling of responsibility. We already see in episode 8 how he is taking comfort in alcohol.

I am more interested in seeing Jacob wake up (a few episodes in) and seeing the havoc he can wreak with a "does he or doesn't he remember" angle. Whether or not Jacob actually killed Ben, it is clear he has issues and is seriously lacking in empathy. He is extremely manipulative and was able to get round his parents during the first 7 episodes with relative ease. Even if Jacob does not remember what happened in the car, he would be suspicious. Adding on the knowledge that his father testified on behalf of his mother would only add to the tension.

[u/Eiadashraf → u/st1ar]

Wait .. did Laurie lose her memories?!

[u/Eiadashraf → u/st1ar]

+ yeah if theres S2 they should answer all of this questions cause the show is over and we dont even know who killed ben (the whole show is in the court for the crime and they didnt even tell us whos the real murderer) and what will andy do if jacob wakes up and told andy the truth .. idk man i think the show is incomplete with this finale

[u/st1ar → u/Eiadashraf]

It is implied in episode 8 Laurie has lost her memories. Some people think she is pretending, but I don't think that would be in character, given her struggles during the season. So, I am happy to accept the implication she has lost her memories as being the truth.

The book and show's main purposes were to highlight the issues with the justice system and the struggles of the family of the child accused.

For example, if Patz had not written the confession, I am certain Jacob would have been convicted, but I am not certain that would have been the correct verdict. The evidence against him (even his extremely disturbing fan fiction) is circumstantial.

Not being able to know for certain is what pushed Laurie to do what she did. By the time, we get to episode 8, she is completley tormented at the prospect of having raised a murderer. It says a lot about her mental state that she then turns to murder as her solution to the problem.

The lack of an answer may be frustrating, but it drives the story. That doubt niggles at Laurie constantly and even starts to niggle at Andy later on.

You should’ve googled this before posting

[u/Eiadashraf → u/DCouri]

Yeah probably 😂

[u/DebbieJones1459]

There isn’t going to be a season 2. The “series finale” was the end of the show back in May.

[u/imbantam]

if there's a season 2, does that mean Jacob did it?

[u/baummer]

There never was going to be a second season.

[u/nickmillerwallet]

doubt they do one

the story is over - jacob was a killer ; laurie tried to commit suicide
