The inaugural season of the drama series Conversation With Friends premiered on Hulu last week. The show created by Alice Birch and Mark O’Halloran is based on Sally Rooney’s book of the same name. The first season ended on an inconclusive note, as Frances said to Nick to come and get her. Therefore, fans are eager to know will the series return with Conversation With Friends Season 2.
Will There Be Conversation With Friends Season 2?
Hulu premiered all the episodes of the Conversation With Friends on May 15, 2022. On the other hand, there has not been any announcement about Conversation With Friends Season 2 from the streaming service or the showrunners. The first season, despite its open ending, has covered the entire novel upon which it is based.
The author has also hinted that the story of the novel ended. During a conversation, she stated, “But as soon as I had the initial idea, which arrived in the form of my four central characters, I knew I wanted to pursue it as far as I could. And I realized it was over, strangely enough, when I wrote the final scene.” She also added, Once I identified that impulse and reasoned myself out of it, I wrote the final scene as it is now – and I felt the novel was finished.” Therefore, the show might not return for a second season.
What Happened In The Last Season?
In the first season of the show, Melissa introduced her husband to on-again-off-again lovers and friends Frances and Bobbi to her husband, Nick. However, her husband, Nick, and Frances soon got attracted to one another, and an affair began between the two. At the end of the first season, Frances broke up with Melissa’s husband, Nick, after she was diagnosed with endometriosis. After that, Frances and Bobbi resumed their relationship while things between Nick and Melissa also returned to normal.
However, in the last moments, Nick makes the mistake of calling Frances. She told him about her disease, reminding him of their discussion about children. The two started talking about how their romance ended. “Nick, come and get me,” Frances said in the closing moment after he revealed he wanted to be there for her all the time, leading many to hope there would be a second season.
