Will There Be a Mare of Easttown Season 2?

Culture

There are some stories that are simply meant to end, and it’s tough to argue that Mare of Easttown isn’t one of them. The series deftly packs an entire town’s worth of characters and a riveting murder mystery into seven episodes that feel neither rushed nor overstretched.

Still, it’s hard not to crave more of a series that spawned so many theories (plus an SNL sketch) and brought Kate Winslet’s inimitable talents back into Emmy consideration. So, is there a future for Mare of Easttown? We break down the chances below.

Mare of Easttown is billed as a limited series.

Like The Undoing before it, Mare of Easttown is billed as a one-season limited series, intended to tell the entirety of its tale in seven episodes. It would be a huge shift for the show to extend past the finale, though not an impossible one. If the reception to Mare is noteworthy enough, it’s possible HBO might push for another chapter (if only in the interest of riding the hype train). Other notable shows that started as limited series but came back for another crack at the bat include Big Little Lies, as well as Hulu’s The Great, which started as a one-season story but quickly grew in scale.

Neither director Craig Zobel nor writer Brad Inglesby have shown interest—at least so far—in continuing the story.

None of the Mare creators seem particularly keen on the idea of forcing the detective back into the spotlight.

The actors, too, believe the story is best left alone. But they’d be willing to come back for the right sequel.

Although Winslet has yet to voice any opinions on returning to Mare, ELLE.com asked Rice her thoughts in a recent interview. Would she be willing to come back?

“Someone asked me that yesterday, and my immediate response is, ‘Yeah!’” the actress said. “But then, the more I think about it, the more I think, actually, I’m so happy to leave those characters where they are. The more I think about it, the more I’m like, ‘No, no, no.’ I kind of love the power that this standalone story has.

“But, of course, if Brad wrote an incredible second season or an incredible spinoff, of course I’d be like, ‘Yeah!’ I don’t know how he feels about it. When it was pitched to me, it was always going to be just seven episodes.”
