Firefly Lane season 2 is coming: Netflix release date and what to expect

Roll on, November.

If you, like us, fell in love with Netflix's Firefly Lane when it dropped back in 2021, you have no doubt been waiting eagerly for a second instalment of the show to hit the streaming platform. Well, wait no more – according to an initial report by Deadline, Firefly Lane season 2 has concluded filming in Vancouver, Canada and  is set to drop on Netflix this November, meaning we only have to wait a couple more months before finding out how life is going for Tully and Kate. A full release date has yet to be announced, but we know that the show will drop at some point in November, thanks to an interview with Netflix’s Jinny Howe.

' A beautiful season'

Howe also teased the new season to Deadline, saying: "It’s a really, really beautiful season, Katherine and Sarah, their dynamic is so, so strong, so I’m really excited to have fans return to that show.” Based on the popular novel by US author Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane tells the moving story of two best friends and the obstacles they face in their lives and their friendship over the course of several decades. The first season dropped on Netflix in February 2021, and the show was an immediate hit with viewers across the globe. It took a few months, but back in May of last year, it was announced that the show has been renewed for a second season. And if you have read the novel, you will know there is still much of Tully and Kate’s story left to tell – not to mention the fact that there is also a sequel to the novel, Fly Away, which extends the story even further.

What will happen in season 2?

Spoilers ahead! If you haven’t finished season 1, don’t read any further! At the end of season 1, we’re left with two very contrasting images of Tully and Kate’s relationship. After Tully quits her show, the pair enjoy a cosy catch-up by the firepit, where Tully promises Kate that she’ll help her get a job when she’s hired again. We then have a flashforward to a future scene, where the pair have an emotional confrontation at a funeral, with Kate stating that she never wants to see Tully again. Undoubtedly, season 2 will explain what happens to fracture Tully and Kate’s relationship so irreparably. However, given that this is a show about friendship, we can’t believe that these two won’t make up in the end. Although the confrontational finale takes place at a funeral, it is not obvious whose funeral it is, but since Tully arrives to pay her respect, it’s clearly the funeral of someone closest to Kate. We also reckon season 2 will explore what happens next with Tully’s career, including if she ever offers Kate that job – and if you really cannot bare to wait until November, you could also just read the book. But be careful out there: you might not like what you see…
