So, The Perfect Couple kind of came out of nowhere and blew everyone away, right? With its intense story and top-tier acting, it quickly became a fan favorite after hitting Netflix. Now that the first season wrapped up, the big question everyone’s asking is: will there be a Season 2?
Let’s break it down and see what’s happening with the show’s future!
How Did The Perfect Couple End?
The finale of The Perfect Couple was pretty wild. In the last episode, That Feels Better, directed by Bier and written by Lamia, we saw some major drama go down. Turns out, Abby Winbury (played by Dakota Fanning) was behind Merritt Monaco’s murder, who was a close friend of Amelia. The kicker? Merritt was pregnant with Tag Winbury’s (Liev Schreiber) baby, and Abby, fearing Merritt would spill the beans, drowned her to keep the secret under wraps.
It was a big reveal, but it left plenty of room for more storytelling.
Is The Perfect Couple Season 2 Happening?
As of now, Netflix hasn’t officially given The Perfect Couple Season 2 the green light. It’s still up in the air, and Netflix is likely watching viewership numbers and audience reactions before making a call. The first season ended in a pretty satisfying way, with the killer revealed and the motivations clear. But there are still some loose threads to tie up.
We saw relationships falling apart—Greer and Tag, Amelia and Benji—and Amelia ending up in London working at a zoo. There’s also the subplot where Greer approaches Amelia about a book she’s writing based on her. Amelia’s response? Silence. If Season 2 does happen, it could pick up right from that moment and dive deeper into those unresolved storylines. Plus, there’s plenty of potential for new drama!
Who Might Return for Season 2?
If The Perfect Couple gets renewed, we could see Nicole Kidman back as Greer Garrison Winbury, along with Liev Schreiber (Tag Winbury), Eve Hewson (Amelia Sacks), Billy Howle (Benji Winbury), and Jack Reynor (Thomas Winbury).
However, Abby Winbury (Dakota Fanning) is now behind bars for murder, so we’re not expecting to see her again—unless there are some flashbacks or surprises up the writers’ sleeves. If the show shifts to a new storyline, we could be looking at an entirely fresh cast. But for now, it’s all speculation until Netflix makes an official announcement.
Conclusion
The Perfect Couple left fans wanting more with its mix of suspense and great writing. The show did a stellar job of building tension and throwing viewers into a web of secrets after that dead body turned up. Will Netflix renew it for a second season? We’re all waiting to find out. Keep an eye out for updates!
