Cruel Summer Season 2 Expected Plot
Spoiler Alert!
So, the story-line will pick up where it left off in season one. We’ll likely see whether Jeanette and Kate have completely buried the hatchet in Season 2. Especially if the revelation that Jeanette knew Kate had been kidnapped is exposed. It’s also likely that the same characters will appear again, this time with a brand-new intrigue. Perhaps we’ll uncover that Kate wasn’t Martin Harris’s sole victim(probably). In the upcoming season, we will also see Kate’s friendship with Mallory. So many issues remain unanswered, such as is Jeanette mentally ill? And there are a slew of other questions that will almost certainly be addressed in the next season.
Another Update :
Tia Napolitano, the showrunner, says the creative team is still in the early stages, with no specific ideas in place. “We’ve only just begun to even think about season 2, so I don’t know anything about what it’s going to be other than an impactful mystery with some great character studies,” ahead of the season 1 finale.
