Has Great Expectations been renewed for Season 2? Here’s what we know:

Renewed Or Cancelled?

The coming-of-age show on Hulu, created by Steven Knight, is loosely based on Charles Dickens’ highly renowned novel Great Expectations. The storyline has received mixed responses from critics and the general public, but if you’ve finished watching this one, you may be curious to know whether this has been renewed or canceled. Here’s what we know:


What is Great Expectations about?

This period drama revolves around Pip who attempts to blend in with London’s upper class. In an effort to wed Estella, the woman he adores, we see him clash with Miss Havisham. Pip is pushed to make a number of crucial decisions because of the challenges that Jaggers, Compeyson, and Drummle put in his path.

Pip must navigate this new world while carrying a heavy load of expectations on his shoulders in order to determine whether his extremely driven self will be satisfied or not.

Steven Knight’s writing immediately immerses you in the world he creates and captures your interest from the first episode. The novel-to-screen adaptation features Knight’s unique style and tone, which exudes a beautiful visual design.


Has Great Expectations been renewed for season 2?

The final episode of the season delivers everything we could possibly want from a series finale, including the demise of a character and the beginning of an exciting new relationship. Additionally, every character is intricately broken down in the show, giving them room to grow if the show is revived for another season.

Hulu has not renewed Great Expectations for a second season at the time of writing. A wide range of factors can affect the decision-making process, such as how many people watch the show, how many complete it, and social buzz. Hulu will undoubtedly consider this as well as reviews, before deciding on the possibility of a second season – and a potential storyline in the future.

Hulu will take their time figuring out what they intend on doing, mainly since there is no need to move things along quickly. We predict that this won’t be renewed but if the right storyline materializes in the future, the tale could go on.


What we know about season 2 so far:

Since Hulu has not yet approved a sequel, not much is known about season 2. However, we are aware that Charles Dickens’ novels have served as the inspiration for this series. Since Dickens did not write a sequel to Great Expectations, if they wanted to continue the tale, they would need to work with Steven Knight as well as the writing team to develop a new work that would complement the original.

If the series is renewed, it might focus on Pip’s daily life at home, his relationship with Biddy, and their children, and even the introduction of new characters who pose challenges for him as well as his loved ones.

As previously stated, we anticipate that this won’t be renewed but we could be wildly off the mark there! However, as new information is made available, we’ll be certain to update this article.
