HBO Drama Series 'Mare of Easttown' May Get Second Season - Kate Winslet Hints at Possibility
Kate Winslet has dropped a bombshell hint about the potential return of her hit HBO drama series 'Mare of Easttown'. In an interview with Deadline, the actress revealed that there's a "strong likelihood" that production will resume in 2027, paving the way for a second season.
Initially conceived as a one-season show, discussions about reviving the series began months ago while Winslet was busy directing her own film 'Goodbye June'. When asked if she thinks another season is feasible, Winslet said, "And so I think we probably will do it. That's the first time I've felt that."
While specific details are scarce, Winslet hinted that production might return to Philadelphia next year, where the majority of filming took place for the Emmy-winning series. This would be a welcome respite for fans who have been eagerly waiting for more Mare Sheehan and her team.
This isn't the first time rumors about a second season have surfaced. HBO's drama head Francesca Orsi revealed in June 2024 that conversations were underway, with the possibility of picking up the character years later. "Who is she now?" Orsi mused.
Interestingly, Ingelsby's other hit show 'Task', which stars Mark Ruffalo as FBI agent Tom Brandis, has been renewed for a second season. Although no details have been released, it's possible that both shows might film simultaneously.
In an amusing aside, Ingelsby joked about the possibility of Mare and Tom crossing paths in real life - "It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Mare walked into a Wawa that Tom was in."

Kate Winslet is always on point with her acting, but it sounds like she's got a great vibe about this possible revival. I mean, can you imagine Mare walking into a Wawa that Tom Brandis is in? 
Ingelsby's got some wicked sense of humor, for sure. And let's be real, Philly has been feeling a little empty since the show ended. A second season would be amazing! 
What do you guys think? Would you tune back in to see Mare and her team again? 
, the thought of more mare sheehan is so exciting. i mean, kate winslet's hinting at it being strong likelihood makes me think its gonna happen 
and filming in philly again would be awesome. plus with ingelsby's other show 'task' getting renewed, it feels like HBO's really onto something here. a mare x tom crossover wawa scene though is just too funny 
. can you imagine Mare and Tom meeting at a Wawa LOL? 
Ingelsby's writing skills are just insane, like 'Task' is still going strong too 
let's keep the faith for both shows! 
i need more of mare's story and her team too!!! it would be amazing if they film the new season around the same time as 'task' - can you imagine a crossover scene between mark ruffalo's tom brandis and kate winslet's mare sheehan?! 
i'm low-key hoping we get more of mare's gritty philly life next season, winslet's vibes are so right on 
the show is too good to be one-and-done gotta give fans some closure 
also what's with all these shows filming at the same time? cant we have some peace and quiet on tv for once? 
That'd be EVERYTHING 
. I need to know what happened to Mare all those years later... is she still solving crimes in Philly? 
Kate Winslet seems really on board with the idea, and it's awesome to see her as both an actress and director. The show was already so captivating, but I can imagine how good more episodes would be 
. And omg, can you imagine Mark Ruffalo (aka Tom) walking into a Wawa that Kate Sheehan is in? 
. I mean, who doesn't love Mare Sheehan's gritty Philly vibes? And can you imagine Mark Ruffalo's Tom Brandis walking into a Wawa with her? That'd be some funny stuff 
. Maybe they'll even explore the storylines from the first season and show us what happens to Mare and her team years later 
. 
. Bring it on, HBO!
