Unbelievable Season 2 Renewal Status

Fans of the show couldn’t get enough of Dever, Wever, and Collette’s brilliant acting. Over 32 million people watched the miniseries in the first month after its September release, according to Netflix. The show’s critical success and the recognition its cast has gained through recent award nominations have undoubtedly enhanced that figure. Showrunner Susannah Grant has said (via EW) that there are currently no talks for another season of Unbelievable, but that fans should “never say never.”

Unbelievable Storyline
The unforgiving truth of the legal system is depicted in Netflix’s Unbelievable, a hard-hitting drama that has stunned viewers. Kaitlyn Dever, Merritt Wever, and Toni Collette feature in the series, which is based on a frustrating but real story about the necessity of believing in women. If you haven’t seen the first season yet, there will be spoilers ahead.
Marie (Dever), a young woman in Washington, reports being raped. Her case is handled absurdly and dropped, and to make matters worse, Marie is charged with “false reporting.” Marie, realizing she has no allies in this fight, simply gives up.
Luckily for Marie and Justice, two female investigators are not interested in playing around. Colorado has two investigators, Karen (Wever) and Grace (Collette), who are working on eerily identical cases. Could it be that they’re both after the same guy? Both of their suspicions have assaulted women in strikingly similar ways. Yes! They not only clear Marie’s name but also expose all of his victims to justice.

Unbelievable Season 2 Plot
The film Unbelievable tackles the taboo topic of sexual violence and how victims are treated, and does so with unflinching candor. Even though Marie’s narrative was resolved when the truth set her free, Wever and Collette may return for another case in season 2. Dets. Karen Duvall and Grace Rasmussen were inspired by real-life sleuths Stacy Galbraith and Edna Hendershot, although they didn’t base their characters’ arcs on the women’s actual experiences. This leaves room for a second season to expand on a tale that isn’t ripped straight from the headlines.
Alternatively, Unbelievable might be recast and reimagined as a criminal anthology series. Wever and Collette’s comeback would be impossible under these circumstances, but the show could still include two protagonists looking into a social problem, like in True Detective. Grant agreed that the anthology concept had potential, but he worried that fans of the original actors wouldn’t be as engaged. Don’t miss out on any developments regarding the future of Unbelievable.
