Speculation about a sequel has been growing since April, when producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner confirmed discussions with director Philip Barantini for a “second iteration” of the show. Gardner added that the team aimed to “widen the aperture, stay true to its DNA [and] not be repetitive.”
While details about the plot and cast remain under wraps, statements from Graham and co-creator Jack Thorne indicate that the new series would not continue Jamie’s story. Graham told Variety, “There’s the possibility of developing another story,” while Thorne said in an interview with ITV, “I think Jamie’s story is finished… We’d love to explore the one-shot format in another way. We’d love to tell other stories with it.”
Graham’s wife and producing partner, Hannah Walters, also ruled out the possibility of a prequel, saying, “That’s certainly not going to happen.”
