Here Are a Few Things You Can Expect to Happen in Season 2 of A Million Little Things

The season one finale ends with Eddie coming clean to Katherine about his infidelity, though viewers don't get to know Katherine's reaction just yet. In the new season, show creator DJ Nash revealed that the show will open on that same scene, picking up right where we left off. While speaking with Deadline, Nash explained, " . . . the morning that we shot that scene for the finale, I went to the actors and I handed them the rest of the scene . . . I said, 'I haven't shown this to the network yet. But we're going to [shoot] the whole scene because we're here.' So we shot the rest of the scene."

Since the moment Maggie and Gary first meet in their breast cancer support group, cancer has been a central component in their relationship. With Maggie in remission, she and Gary will have to reconsider whether — now that forever is farther away than they had once imagined it to be — they still feel the same way. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nash explained that, in this new season, the two of them will face the challenge of figuring out who they are independent of cancer. " . . . now cancer is gone and the whole way [Maggie and Gary have] known each other has been cancer," he explained. "And as Maggie says in the finale, you've got to be careful that you're not doing the same thing Jon did and trying to save me in the way that you couldn't save Jon."

In the show's first season, just as Rome is ready to start a family with Gina, she reveals that she doesn't want to have children. To Entertainment Weekly, Nash explained that Rome and Gina will have to contend with their difference of opinion in this upcoming season, even if that means ultimately deciding to end their marriage. " . . . we're going to watch this couple deal with the fact that, right now anyway, they both want different things in this marriage," he said. "But that story has been laid out, and we have a plan for that that I think will move the fans in the same way that the Gary/Maggie story moved them in season one."

When viewers saw Rome grab a suicide prevention hotline number from a poster at the hospital, many expected the worst — but season two will reveal that Rome's intentions are probably very different than you assumed. In a conversation with TV Guide, Nash divulged that Rome intends on helping others in this new season. "I think Rome, realising that helping others who have been in that situation might be a really great way to take control back and to take the power back in his life," Nash explained. "I'm excited to follow that story for him. In the second season, we see him help other people in the way he needed help."

Though Ron Livingston (who plays Jon) was notably missing from the show's Instagram post from the first season two table read, it seems that Nash would like Livingston's character to appear in the next season — it's just not clear whether that's actually happening. "He has been a great partner in this, so I'd love to continue to have him tell his story," Nash said of Livingston. "He has another series that he's working on, so we may just have [to] find those moments, but I'd love to have him back."

Though Christina Ochoa (who plays Ashley) was also conspicuously missing from the show's Instagram post from the first season two table read, Ochoa teased in an interview with TVLine back in February that we probably haven't seen the last of Ashley. "I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that Ashley is not completely out of the picture," she said, though she didn't reveal any more than that.

At the end of season one, we learn that Barbara's son (whom she had with Dave, but who believed his dad to be Mitch) is actually PJ, who first entered the series after randomly finding Rome's script. Nash hinted to The Hollywood Reporter that we'll be learning more about PJ's story in this upcoming season. "I'd love [the reveal of PJ being Barbara's son] to be a big part of the season," he said. However, we still don't know whether PJ will figure out who his real dad is anytime soon.

The thread that carried viewers through season one was the mystery surrounding Jon's suicide. While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Nash revealed that season two would introduce a whole new mystery and, apparently, that mystery is already hinted at in the first season. "We have already started to set up a story for season two," he said. "The viewers may not be aware that they are already exposed to that story, but it's already there and as we go into season two, there is a new thing to follow that will play us throughout."
