The creator ofrelentless confided in his vision of the series. Although there is a real ending, it already has a three-season vision if the work is renewed by Netflix.
Will the April 2023 nugget on Netflix be entitled to a sequel? Whether relentless rises crescendo until its two spectacular final episodes, Lee Sung Jin’s series has the merit of ending with a real end. The scene of the last episode completely closes the story of Amy and Danny.
Some narrative springs, that said, still remain unresolved. Especially for secondary characters, like George, Amy’s husband; or Danny’s brother. Could we see a sequel, one day, via a season 2?
“I already have three seasons in mind”
It is the creator himself, Lee Sung Jin, who delivers the beginning of an answer in an interview of April 10, 2023 for Rolling Stone: “ I wanted there to be a conclusion just in case, but I have a lot of ideas for the story to continue. I think if we’re lucky enough to have a season 2, there’s a lot of ways for Danny and Amy to continue. I have a big general idea that I can’t talk about yet, but I already have three seasons in mind. »
The story he delivered to ELLE is somewhat similar. He explains to them that he pitched this series to Netflix “ as a limited series “, reason why there is ” a sort of end to the story by Amy and Danny. But ” if we have the opportunity, of course I would like to explore them more, because I love these characters “. It also completes with the idea thatrelentless could explore other confrontations between other characters, because it was partly this anthological form that he had in mind: ” I think in my 45 minute PowerPoint there were many other feuds and character types to explore. »
Officially, the series is not a miniseries. It is not listed as such on the platform – even if Netflix submitted it to the Emmys in the Limited/Anthology Series category. Nothing therefore excludes a new season (unlike the Ladies game or at maidfor example, which are presented from the outset as mini-series and will remain so despite their success).
It remains to be seen now whether the SVOD service will wish to renew the series. We can reasonably consider that she is a hit, as she remains high in the Top 10. But this is not the only criterion taken into account by Netflix, the completion rate remains the most important and these figures are not not communicated. The general reception of the series is in any case very good, and it is not an easy season to let go: we can therefore presuppose that Netflix will be inclined to order a new season, a fortiori if the creator already has a plan in place. matter.
