In an interview with Deadline on July 13, 2021, Kate Winslet hinted that chances of a Season 2 are significantly higher than they were when Season 1 first ended. She said: "I would love to play her again, I absolutely believe there’s more chapters to her story. However, just because the story has touched people that doesn’t necessarily mean creatively we can do it again. But it doesn’t mean closing doors; we’re opening doors, exploring what’s behind the doors."

She also added that Season 2 is an "ongoing conversation," echoing director and writer Brad Ingelsby's previous sentiments about being interested in a Season 2 only if the cast was also on board. Fans should be excited to know that this might not be the end for Detective Mare Sheehan!

Thankfully, there are many crime drama shows set in small towns for fans of Mare of Easttown to enjoy until there's further news of Season 2.

Maybe down the line, the director will craft a show following Mare on a different case. Until then, you can stream all episodes of Mare of Easttown exclusively on HBO Max.
