Firefly Lane season 2 has concluded filming in Vancouver, Canada, after getting renewed back in May 2021. Here’s our updated preview on everything we know about Firefly Lane season 2 including our release date estimate, what we can expect and more.
Based on the popular novel by US author Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane tells the moving story of two best friends and the obstacles they face in their lives and their friendship over the course of several decades. The show dropped on February 3rd, 2021, to mixed critical reviews. Audiences seem to have taken to it far kinder, with it currently carrying a 7.4/10 as of July 28, 2022. The show performed well in the Netflix top 10s. It was in the US top 10 list for 36 days and also performed well in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. So with all that said, here’s everything we know about the future of Firefly Lane on Netflix.
Has Firefly Lane been renewed for season 2?
It took a few months but Netflix officially made the announcement that Firefly Lane is returning for a second season on May 27th, 2021.The news was announced through their social media platforms and on YouTube, where they had actresses Katherine Heigel and Sarah Chalke answer fan questions, and make the official announcement.
The first season doesn’t cover all of the material from the novel, so there is still much of Tully and Kate’s story left to tell. There’s also a sequel to the novel, Fly Away, which extends the story even further. Maggie Friedman has been confirmed to be returning as showrunner for season 2. Michael Spiller (Modern Family, Scrubs) has been tipped to direct in season 2.
What to expect from Firefly Lane season 2
Spoilers ahead! If you haven’t finished season 1, don’t read any further! At the end of season 1, we’re left with two very contrasting images of Tully and Kate’s relationship. After Tully quits her show, the pair enjoy a cozy catch-up by the firepit, where Tully promises Kate that she’ll help her get a job when she’s hired again.
We then have a flashforward to a future scene, where the pair have an emotional confrontation at a funeral, with Kate stating that she never wants to see Tully again. Undoubtedly, season 2 will explain what happens to fracture Tully and Kate’s relationship so irreparably. However, given that this is a show about friendship, we can’t believe that these two won’t make up in the end.
Although the confrontational finale takes place at a funeral, it is not obvious who’s funeral it is. Since Tully arrives to pay her respect, it’s clearly the funeral of someone closest to Kate. We have two likely candidates: Kate’s ex-husband, Johnny, who left for Iraq, or Kate’s elderly father. Either way, the second season will cover the impact this has on Kate and her teenage daughter, Marah.We think season 2 would also explore what happens next with Tully’s career, including if she ever offers Kate that job. Of course, since Firefly Lane is based on a fairly famous novel, you don’t have to search too hard to find out what actually happens next to Tully and Kate. Be careful out there: you might not like what you see…
