With that cliffhanger ending, there are so many ways a second season could go. In addition to exploring the complexities of Jeanette's character, there's also the big question of when in 1994 that final scene takes place. Though Jeanette is wearing summery clothes, it's never explicitly stated what month it occurs. "We didn't say that, so [Kate] could have been rescued by the police the next day," Aurelia noted. "Months could've gone by. This could have been at the beginning of '94 and Jeanette continued to pursue Jamie after this happened. We don't know. Or this could have happened 10 hours before she got rescued, and Jeanette would have told someone. But that's part of it, is we have no idea. That's something that we're going to have to wait and discover."
Though a release date for season two hasn't been announced yet, it seems like the writers are already busy planning. "I am really excited for the writers and the creators to start weaving this web and make season two as invigourating and exciting as season one was. I know that they have some wonderful ideas on the brink of where they want to take this, and I look forward to kind of being a small piece in that big puzzle and journey."
