Seeing an enthralling actor or actress like Cate Blanchett on television week after week may make saying goodbye a challenge. That moment, however, is officially here with the impending season finale of Mrs. America.
It is uncertain whether the storylines of these specific people will continue, especially since Hulu has not yet renewed Mrs. America for a second season. The possibility of a Season 2 pickup is not totally out of the question, but there are several obstacles that the show may encounter.
Mrs. America Season 2 Renewal Status
The outstanding cast and wealth of timely historical information in Mrs. America ensured that the show would garner devoted viewers. Fans are asking whether there would be a second season after the critically acclaimed show garnered ten Emmy nominations after just one nine-episode season.
Mrs. America was always advertised as a limited series; therefore, it’s quite doubtful that there will be a second season. But there’s a remote possibility it may come back.
Mrs. America Season 2 Release Date
Mrs. America premiered on Hulu on April 15, 2020. A one-hour scripted drama series, Mrs. America, is airing its pilot episode right now. Wednesday is when you can see Mrs. America on Hulu.
The second season of Mrs. America will not be available on Hulu. There will be no more episodes of Mrs. America on Hulu. If Hulu chooses to bring Mrs. America back for another season, we will make sure to update this page.
Mrs. America Story
Blanchett plays conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, whose actions caused an unforeseen reaction during the ratification process of the Equal Rights Amendment, which is the storyline upon which Mrs. America is founded and dramatizes.
The series delves into the experiences of the women of that time, including Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Jill Ruckelshaus, Gloria Steinem, and Schlafly, to show how the Moral Majority came to be and how the culture wars of the 1970s changed American politics forever.
An introductory statement is included in every episode that recognizes that some situations and characters are fictitious for artistic reasons.

Mrs. America Season 1 Review
If you are interested in history and would like to see the height of several fascinating social and cultural trends, the 1970s are a gold mine of information. In the US, feminism also had a glimmer of optimism when the Equal Rights Act, which has been greatly discussed but has yet to be enacted, was on the verge of being approved.
This series reveals how the most unexpected source of danger for feminism—women themselves—was recognized and how the idea is still not universally welcomed. In the series, we see how the women’s divergent worldviews led to their eventual conflict.
Phyllis Schlafly, the series’ unlikeliest heroine, is a model American housewife who provides for her family, encourages her husband, instills strong moral values in her children, and understands when to say “no” to selfish ambition.
It would be unfair to analyze each occurrence in detail. One must recognize the series’ attempts to portray the heyday of the American women’s rights movement in the most appropriate light. If you enjoy exploring your history with a dash of spectacle, then Mrs. America is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
