Mare of Easttown could be coming back for season 2 sooner rather than later — and the crime drama star Kate Winslet just revealed when she could step in front of the camera again. The first season of Brad Ingelsby's HBO Max show premiered in 2021 and audiences were pretty much immediately obsessed. And while we had other shows like Task and Dept. Q to keep us occupied in the meantime, the return of Mare of Easttown is going to be unforgettable.
Keep reading for what Kate Winslet's new update about Mare of Easttown season 2.
Will there be Mare of Easttown season 2?

Yep, you read that right: it looks like Mare of Easttown is returning for season 2! The series was originally only ordered for a single season. But, despite the fact it was intended to be a limited series ("It was done and dusted, finished," Kate Winslet says), new episodes are on the way.
The Titanic and Avatar actress told Deadline that conversations about a second season came up a few months ago. “They were proper conversations around a timeframe when it could be possible. And so I think we probably will do it, and that’s the first time I’ve felt that,” she says. Although, she also clarifies it “wouldn’t actually be this year, I reckon it would end up being 2027 to film it. There’s a strong likelihood it would film sometime in 2027.”
Where did they film Mare of Easttown Season 2?
