The Undoing’s cliffhanger ending finally aired after weeks of speculation, theorizing, and falling off our seats. It was proven that Hugh Grant’s character, Jonathan Fraser, was the murderer of Elena Alves in more ways than one (Matilda De Angelis).
Grace Fraser (played by Nicole Kidman) ultimately took the steps necessary to free herself from her husband’s grasp in a series of disturbing and horrifying events. Is there room for a second season in the wake of Jonathan’s incarceration, given that he’s been taken away in handcuffs?
HBO’s undoing comes courtesy of Nicole Kidman as Grace Fraser and Hugh Grant as Jonathan Fraser.
According to director Susanne Bier in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, “this is a tight plot, which is why I think six hours is great.”We can conclude that the initial plan was to produce a limited series with the number of episodes necessary to tell a complete story. HBO has a history of abandoning its original ideas for a series if it becomes a hit with viewers.
According to Deadline, the star-studded series is on set to become Sky Atlantic’s highest-rated US drama, defeating the premiere of a small program you might have heard of called Game of Thrones(!). With these numbers in mind, we wouldn’t be surprised if The Undoing made a comeback in the future. Executive producer David E. Kelley has declined to entirely rule it out (though emphasizing that it is not currently in the plan).
“It appears that we’ve reached an agreement. Because of the outcome, we’re satisfied “TVLine obtained an interview with Kelley. “Big Little Lies isn’t returning for a second season, so I won’t say it now. This is what I’ve learned. However, it is not what we are aiming for.”When asked by ET if she hopes to continue the plot in a second season, Susanne Bier said she would “love” to.
“However, it is only a dream,” she continued. “Allowing myself a little wishful thinking, I’d like to believe in Santa Claus. There have been no discussions at all. I don’t have any intentions for it at this time. There may be an opportunity for a second season if you imagine Father Christmas coming down the chimney.”
The Undoing Season 2 Release Date
As previously said, there has been no formal announcement of a second season of the popular HBO/Sky drama (and, at this point, it does not appear to be very likely).
It would be necessary to start again from the beginning – from scriptwriting to filming – which would mean that if its creators were to go ahead and start work on a sequel, we’d have to wait quite a long before it was all put together and released to the public.
The Undoing Season 2 Cast
If the project goes through, Nicole Kidman will be essential to its success. Throughout the course of the program, it became increasingly evident that The Undoing was ultimately about her (and not her outwardly charming and magnetic husband, who commanded all the attention).
Even though Hugh Grant’s character would most likely be sitting behind bars in an orange jumpsuit for the majority of the movie, fans would almost certainly want him back.

Another thing to look forward to is the arrival of Noah Jupe, as well as the presence of his on-screen grandfather, Donald Sutherland, who will be playing himself. Almost sure, Lily Rabe’s character Sylvia, who had a major role in the season one finale’s climactic revelation, would be involved in the second season of the show.

Depending on how the tale develops, other actors such as Noma Dumezweni (who portrays Jonathan’s gutsy lawyer Haley Fitzgerald), Ismael Cruz Cordova (who portrays Elena’s husband), and Edan Alexander (who portrays Jonathan’s father) may possibly appear (who played Miguel Alves).
The Undoing Season 2 Plot
As the final episode further demonstrated, The Undoing was essentially a narrative about Grace’s blindness to her husband’s dark and dangerous true character, which was revealed in the final episode. With the first five episodes focusing on her painstakingly piecing the puzzle together, the cathartic finale brought the storyline to a dramatic close.

We would expect a second season to pick up with Grace and Henry, maybe exploring how they are each coping with the seismic events of season one. However, this is just guesswork at this point.
According to the novel on which The Grace of the Universe is based, Grace began to rebuild her life and discover herself after leaving her abusive marriage, so there may be some opportunity to incorporate this theme into a future on-screen storyline.

While we wait for more information, you can read Digital Spy’s exclusive interviews with the cast, who include Hugh Grant and Noma Dumezweni, to pass the time.
Conclusion
After weeks of curiosity, theorizing, and being on the verge of jumping out of our seats due to the cliffhangers, The Undoing’s season two finale finally aired. The character of Jonathan Fraser, played by Hugh Grant, was revealed to be the murderer of Elena Alves in more ways than one (Matilda De Angelis)
