The creator is willing to revisit the series, but only if he can create a story as emotionally compelling as the first season, although he wants to.give Mare some space” to avoid rushing into another intense storyline. Read his full comments below:
We are always open to revisiting Mare. I would love the chance if we could flesh out the story. Mare’s journey was so emotional and it was difficult to come up with an emotional story. It’s hard to find anything that can compete with losing a child and having to face that. There are a lot of storylines we could explore… I want to give Mare some space before we build up to another emotional trauma. It’s hard to go back.
There will be a long wait
Although it was originally conceived as a limited series Easttown mare season 2 became a possibility in August 2021 when Kate Winslet has expressed interest in returning as Mare and said that creator Brad Ingelsby has “some really cool ideas” for a second season. However, the two-time Emmy-winning actress, winning her second for Easttown mareacknowledged that a second season would be very difficult on an emotional level. Ingelsby expresses a similar sentiment in his most recent comments.
Ingelsby’s recent comments suggest that Easttown mare season 2 is still in the early stages of development and if it does, it won’t be for a while. The creator is cautious about getting ahead of himself, and while he’s open to exploring Mare’s story further, he’ll only do so if a worthy plot emerges. He emphasizes that creating a new emotional arc would be a challenge given the intense themes of the first season, especially Mare’s journey through grief and trauma following the loss of her son.
