Netflix isn’t in the habit of renewing shows immediately, but it’s hard not to wonder whether we’ll get more episodes of The Abandons with how season 1 ends. In the finale of the streamer’s latest Western drama series, the feud between dueling 1850s matriarchs Constance Van Ness (Gillian Anderson) and Fiona Nolan (Lena Headey) reaches its highest point when Constance discovers that Fiona’s family is responsible for the death of her son Willem (Toby Hemingway). The Van Nesses aren’t exactly innocent: Willem’s murder came after he raped one of Fiona’s surrogate daughters, and their wealthy family is encroaching on the land belonging to the various townspeople in Jasper Hollow to take it over entirely. The season ends in a blaze as Fiona’s family sets fire to the Van Ness estate—and we don’t know who exactly survives the destruction.
Some producer drama behind the scenes and a long production schedule begs the question: Will we get answers to our burning questions? (No pun intended!) Here’s what we know so far about The Abandons season 2 and what we could expect from more episodes.
