Kate Winslet Has Hinted at a Potential Second Season of 'Mare of Easttown'
In an interview with Deadline, Kate Winslet, who won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Mare Sheehan in HBO's 'Mare of Easttown,' hinted that production on the crime drama could resume as early as 2027. This comes nearly five years after the show first premiered.
While there was no concrete information provided about the plot or cast for a potential second season, Winslet did express her enthusiasm for continuing the story, stating that there is a "strong likelihood" of picking up production again. Her remarks suggest that talks about reviving the series had begun earlier in 2026 during the filming of her directorial debut 'Goodbye June.'
The creator of 'Mare of Easttown,' Brad Ingelsby, initially envisioned the show as a one-season project but reportedly discussed renewal with HBO months before production concluded on Winslet's directorial film. When asked about possible conversations around reviving 'Mare of Easttown' during an interview with Variety in June 2024, Orsi noted that they might be able to "figure out with Mare, years later, picking her up" and exploring the character's development over time.
Notably, Ingelsby mentioned the possibility of his other show 'Task,' also set in Delaware County, filming alongside 'Mare of Easttown' if a story warrants it. Ingelsby hinted at the potential for these two characters to intersect in their stories without revealing any specific crossover narrative ideas.
The potential revival has generated interest among fans of the series, and with Winslet's endorsement, there is renewed hope that viewers will soon be returning to the streets of Delaware County once again to follow Mare Sheehan on her next case.

. seriously though, I'm so down for a second season if it means more of that amazing portrayal by Kate Winslet 
. the plot is literally just a mystery at this point... how hard can they make up the rest? and can't we just get some closure on Mare's life already? 
.
. And can we talk about Brad Ingelsby's writing skills? He creates such complex and intriguing characters 
. Fingers crossed that the show will pick up again soon! Maybe we'll even get some new tech gadgets featured in future episodes 
. I've been loving my smart glasses lately and it would be so cool to see Mare using something like that on her investigations 
. Anyway, if you haven't checked out 'Mare of Easttown' yet, what are you waiting for? Go binge-watch the first season ASAP!
I'm so down for a second season of 'Mare of Easttown' 
. Kate Winslet's enthusiasm is totally infectious, and I love how Brad Ingelsby is leaving room for exploration and development in the character's story. The idea of Mare's growth over time is really appealing to me... 
especially with Ingelsby hinting at potential crossovers between 'Mare' and his other show 'Task'. It feels like HBO is going all in on Delaware County, and I'm here for it! 
Can you imagine the storylines they could create? The streets of Easttown are full of secrets just waiting to be uncovered... 
Can't wait to see what Brad Ingelsby has in store for us if they actually go ahead with it. Fingers crossed!! 
meanwhile we've got other shows to watch and more importantly, Kate Winslet's had time to work on other projects 
The way the story unfolded was so intricate and suspenseful, I loved how it explored themes of grief, trauma, and small-town life. If they do revive it, I'd love to see more of Delaware County and how Mare's character evolves over time 
Fingers crossed that Brad Ingelsby can bring this story full circle! 
. So Kate Winslet thinks we're gonna get another season of 'Mare of Easttown' in 2027... like that's even a guarantee at this point 
. The show's creator was always thinking it'd be a one-and-done thing, and now they're just regurgitating the same idea years later 
. And don't even get me started on the plot – "strong likelihood" of picking up production? More like a long shot 
.
. I mean, it's been a while since the show first aired but the plot could definitely be picked up where we left off, maybe even exploring more of Mare's character development over time 
I mean, it's been ages since the show first came out, but if they can get the cast and crew back together, I'm all in! Maybe we'll even see some Easter eggs to old characters 
. Fingers crossed that Brad Ingelsby will bring us more of those complex, messed-up cases to solve alongside Mare... or at least give us a glimpse into her life years after the original series ended 
Kate Winslet's enthusiasm is infectious, and it's amazing that Brad Ingelsby has been thinking about reviving the show for years - maybe even before we knew it was supposed to be a one-season thing. The fact that Orsi thinks they can pick up where Mare left off all these years later gives me hope that we'll get to see more of her growth and development as a character. And I love how Ingelsby is leaving room for the other characters in 'Task' to intersect with Mare's story - it's like he's setting the stage for an epic tale! 
and I'm totally down for exploring Mare's character development over time. Can you imagine the stories they could tell? The intersecting characters from Task... it's getting me so excited 
. and don't even get me started on how this might affect their other show 'Task' 
. i'm not sayin' it can't happen or nothin', but let's not get our hopes up too high, ya feel?
Fingers crossed they make it happen!
