Godless Season 2?
The Netflix western is billed as a ‘limited series’, allowing for the possibility of multiple short seasons if the first chapter is well received, though the streamer will claim it was only meant to be one-and-done if the show flops.
But will the renewal gods look favorably on Godless?
THR caught up with the cast and crew who, publicly at least, appear to be on the same page regarding the show’s status:
“I think it’s a novel,” Sam Waterston, who plays Marshal John Cook, told The Hollywood Reporter at Sunday’s New York City premiere at The Metrograph. “I don’t think they’ll make a Godless 2.”
His co-star Thomas Brodie-Sangster agreed. “It’s got a really nice beginning, middle and end. It’s very popular now-a-days to just make something go on and on and on. At some point, it becomes some sort of money-maker thing and I think as a viewer you can see that and sense that,” said the actor, who plays Deputy Whitey Winn. “For me, unless they do something amazing with the writing and as long as it’s appropriate, I think it’s nice to actually have a Netflix show that comes out like this where you have the beginning, middle and end.”
Director, writer and executive producer Scott Frank added that he had not thought of any storylines that could follow season one of Godless. “You never know, but right now I don’t know what it would be,” he said.
What are your thoughts on Godless? Should it be cancelled or renewed for Season 2?
KC says
Just finished binge watching Godless and loved it, but I agree that it had a satisfying ending and it should be left right there.
