“Mare of Easttown ss 2”: release date, announcement
The continuation of the detective “Mare of Easttown” has not yet been announced. After the success of the season 1, the creators of the TV series began to think about its continuation, despite the fact that it was originally planned as a mini-series. But the difficulty lies not only in re-assembling busy actors and offscreen specialists in one project, but also in writing a script that must be thought out to the smallest detail.
There is still talk about the season 2 of the picture, so the audience has every chance to see new episodes. But it is unlikely that their premiere will take place before 2024. We are waiting for official statements.
