The Erin McMenamin murder case is officially closed… but does that mean Mare of Easttown is handing in her badge?
The Kate Winslet-led HBO crime drama wrapped up its seven-episode run on Sunday night — read our finale recap here — and while it’s been billed as a limited series from the beginning, ratings have been steadily growing each week, with 2 million viewers tuning in for last week’s penultimate episode across all platforms, per the network. That, plus all the positive critical buzz, could have HBO changing its plans and thinking about bringing it back for a Season 2. After all, Big Little Lies was considered a limited series at first, even competing in that category at the Emmys, before returning for a sophomore run.
Officially, HBO is still calling Mare a limited series as of now, with the drama set to compete in the Limited Series categories at this year’s Emmys. (TVLine has reached out to HBO to inquire about Mare‘s Season 2 status.) And maybe keeping it a close-ended story is the best thing for it. Series director/EP Craig Zobel says that Winslet’s Mare Sheehan “is an amazing character, so I would be excited to see” a second season, but “I also like it as a miniseries.”
But there’s one person who definitely wants to see more of Mare: the star herself, Kate Winslet. “I would absolutely love to play Mare again,” she tells TVLine when asked about the prospect of a Season 2. “I miss her. I really do. It’s the strangest thing. I feel like I’m in mourning. It was an absolutely wonderful role… There’s something very addictive about Mare, because she’s so outrageous and lovable and brilliant and real, you know? I loved playing her.”
Would you watch a Season 2 of Mare of Easttown? What storylines would you want to see more of? Drop your thoughts in a comment below.
The best series right now. Season Two” Does Mare get together with the professor.” Does her daughter go into show business and major in voice or theater in college? Does mare’s mother find love again?
Loved the show and kept you on the edge of your seat. Kate Winslet and other actors were great as well. The town was portrayed as close knit and alot of the characters went to high school together. Actor who portrayed Mares boss was very fair and helped her with her family problems, and the friendship angle was interesting as well. Alot of twists in the plot.Scary. second to last episode when her partner was killed in the Silence of the Lambs type house !
As long as the storyline is strong & well written without remaking the previous season, I’d be all in on a 2nd season of ‘Mare’.
I would absolutely watch a season 2 of “Mare of Easttown”! I think this is the best role Kate Winslet has ever played!
I agree After Titanic 🥰
I would Love to see a second season of Mare Of Eastown
Loved the series. Kate Winslet was outstanding. Would watch season 2 in a heartbeat
How about some story lines about the younger generation in East Town? How do they manage to survive and/or prosper in this depressed and depressing environment?
Mare of Easttown has been one of the best programs I have seen for a very long time. The characters have complex emotional problems that have been portrayed in an excellent way. The grief, the guilt. The agony of loss. The overcoming and solutions to some problems. The terrible dilemmas that faced various families. Excellent. Please please make another season. Though the ending of this series was excellent. Please don’t let it be the end of Mare of Easttown. There are plenty of story line to follow up.
This was one of the best mini-series I have seen! I am sad it is over, but the ending…..wow! It blew me away. Thank you for offering such great entertainment! Bar None, excellent!
Sure would!! Kate Winslet, Jean Smart, and Julianne Nicholson–such exceptional casting and superior performances. Every performance was topnotch. But I also fear a season two could not stand up to the best mini-series HBO has made in a long time.
More Mare please!!! It is the excellent programming we deserve to see much more of.
excellent show.
The town was left with Dylan and Brianna, two deeply disturbing characters who could go very far off the deep end if things didn’t go their way….
Would Definitely LOVE to see a Season 2.
The show is Awesome.
Love Kate Winslet.
Would like 2nd season of mare. Perhaps a 50 yo murder she stumbles on in an odd encounter. This crime twists and turns to Federal Government FBI involvement back then and the Bureau’s still wanting to keep it under wraps. The keep throwing misinformation at her through various channels. Will they have to kill Mare to keep the matter secret. Who will be in Jeopardy if the crime and solution is revealed? All the way to the President?
Would love a Season Two. Great characters and show. Keep it going.
Hope we see season 2 for MARE OF EASTOWN
Would love to see a season 2. Kate Winslet, indeed all of the cast were wonderful. Such a complex character who I became totally invested in. Superb.
Mare was terrific. I loved both Kate Winslett and Jean smart both were terrific. Please bring it back
Absolutely. If she is going to wear a shore sweatshirt it should be Wildwood not Ocean City. Delco goes to Wildwood.
Absolutely but Mare needs to wear a Wildwood sweatshirt not Ocean City. Delco goes to Wildwood!!
I would love a season 2. Great casting.
Mare of Easttown has become someone I know and love.
A second season with Mare in a quotidian town fighting a thrilling new case ! Gotta have it.
Would love to see another few seasons of Mare. Huge Kate Winslet Fan!!!
