Jonathan and Mira are having a hard time in marriage, but no wonder. Everyone is boiling in the cauldron of their own thoughts, cultivating endless complexes and the desire to live a different life. Mira is the first to start unpleasant conversations, but what should Jonathan do? Let his wife go or try to stop her by any means possible?
“Scenes from a Marriage ss 2”: release date, announcement
The continuation of the drama TV show “Scenes from a Marriage” has not been officially announced. The TV series is based on the 1973 Ingmar Bergman film of the same name, and does not imply a sequel. We don’t have to wait for new episodes.
However, we recall that 30 years later, the film “Saraband” was released, which told the future of the main characters – perhaps it will serve as a plot for the season 2. But so far this information has not been confirmed.
Plot
The TV show begins with a conversation with a psychologist. Mira and Jonathan talk about their lives and outwardly they are almost satisfied with everything. The spouses are raising a daughter, their everyday life is fine, there is enough money. Only passion is lacking — they understand this, but cannot confess to each other. It’s easier to pretend nothing is happening. But for Mira, this is just the calm before the storm.
In the evening, the main characters meet with their friends Kate and Peter, who, at the moment of the conversation, quarrel among themselves, as if hinting that something similar may soon happen between Mira and Jonathan. Left alone, Kate and Mira kiss, but Mira is embarrassed. Having decided not to say anything to her husband, Mira closes in herself again.
Mira is more focused on a career than a showdown. Jonathan is the other way around: for him the main thing is home, daughter, wife, and only then he remembers that he also works as a teacher. This is how the responsibilities in this family are divided: Mira makes money, and Jonathan successfully copes with domestic difficulties and raising a child.
Ten years of marriage has shown that such a life is quite real. But they so want a passion that will turn their heads! A series of events, including an unplanned pregnancy, makes Mira not only think about leaving her husband, but also bring her idea to life. Collecting her thoughts, she asks Jonathan to let her go and leaves. As it seemed to both of them then, forever. But fate had its own plans.
Both soon realize that they have made a fatal mistake. Years go by, but love does not pass. None of them meets a person whom they could love more. Life circumstances constantly bring them together, but do the former spouses have a chance for reconciliation? Will they be able to reunite? And how will this story end? ..
Season 2 can tell how their fate was formed decades later – the creator of the original plot Ingmar Bergman had a clearly formulated opinion about how the fate of the main characters should look like 20 years after the divorce, which he showed in the film “Saraband”.
