In a year that was crammed full of television, some good but mostly bad, HBO’s Mare of Easttown was a pleasant reprieve—a juicy whodunit set in a pleasantly gray town that was actually a vessel for an exploration of the multi-faceted disappointments of motherhood. The show came to a very satisfying conclusion on Sunday, neatly wrapping up every single dangling thread, as if insulating itself against the scourge that haunts prestige television of this nature: the looming threat of a second season predicated on little more than the success of the first. Though it is pointless to say this now, I’d like to issue some gentle advice to the creators of this show. We do not need a second season of Mare of Easttown, no matter what anyone says.

Though it is pointless to say this now, I’d like to issue some, no matter what anyone says.with TVLine, Kate Winslet expressed mild interest in participating in a second season of the show, should one come into existence. “I would absolutely love to play Mare again,” Winslet said. “I miss her. I really do. It’s the strangest thing. I feel like I’m in mourning. It was an absolutely wonderful role.” To be fair, Winslet is correct.
the chapter on her own grief, taking down the stairs to the attic, where she found her son, Kevin, hanging from a rafter, and climbing up. Let the healing begin. It was a fitting end to a story that was about motherhood as much as it was about murder, but what it really showed was growth. Mare spent the duration of the show’s seven episodes running away from her grief by plunging headfirst into work, attempting to mother the town and its scores of missing girls the way she was unable to do for her son. She achieved
closure by accepting her son’s death, making for a sad but ultimately hopeful ending, airtight enough to not invite the possibility of a second season into the mix at all. But the chance that there could be more Mare in the future is still there.
