The Lovers Season 2 Release Date, Spoiler, Cast, Trailer & Where to Watch

The Lovers Season 2: The Lovers is a romantic comedy series that premiered on Sky Atlantic and NOW on September 7, 2023. The show follows the unlikely romance between Janet, a foul-mouthed supermarket worker from Belfast, and Seamus, a smooth-talking political broadcaster from London. The six-episode first season ended with a cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering if there will be a second season of The Lovers.

Here is everything we know so far about The Lovers season 2, including the release date, spoilers, cast, trailer, and where to watch.

Will there be The Lovers season 2?

As of November 10, 2023, Sky has not officially renewed The Lovers for a second season. However, there is still hope for the fans of the show, as the first season received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. The show has a rating of 8.2 out of 10 on IMDb, and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 10 reviews.

The show’s creator and writer, Lisa McGee, who is also known for her hit comedy series Derry Girls, has expressed her interest in continuing the story of Janet and Seamus. In an interview with Radio Times, she said: “I would love to do more. I think there’s a lot more to explore with them. I think they’re a really interesting couple and I think they’ve got a lot of obstacles to overcome. So yeah, I would love to do more.”

The show’s finale also left some loose ends that could be explored in a potential second season. The last scene showed that Janet’s past, which involved a scandalous affair with a married politician, was exposed to the public, now that she is linked with Seamus. How will this affect their relationship and their careers? Will Seamus stand by Janet or will he choose his reputation over her? Will Janet be able to cope with the media scrutiny and the backlash from her family and friends?

These are some of the questions that a second season of The Lovers could answer if Sky decides to give the green light to the show.

When would The Lovers season 2 be released?

If The Lovers is renewed for a second season, we can expect it to be released sometime in 2024, depending on the availability of the cast and crew, and the production schedule. The first season was filmed in Belfast and London in late 2022 and early 2023, and took about six months to complete. Assuming a similar timeline, a second season could start filming in mid-2024 and be ready for release by late 2024 or early 2025.

However, this is just speculation, and we will have to wait for an official announcement from Sky to confirm the release date of The Lovers season 2.

Cast

The Lovers season 2 would likely bring back the main cast members from the first season unless there are any major changes in the plot or the characters’ fates. The main cast includes:

• Roisin Gallagher as Janet, a witty and outspoken supermarket worker who falls in love with Seamus.
• Johnny Flynn as Seamus, a charming and ambitious political broadcaster who is drawn to Janet.
• Alice Eve is Frankie, a famous actress and Seamus’ girlfriend, who is unaware of his affair with Janet.
• Conleth Hill as Philip, Janet’s boss and friend at the supermarket, who is secretly in love with her.
• Jenn Murray is Gemma, Janet’s sister, and confidante, who is supportive of her relationship with Seamus.
• Martin Quinn as Jason, Janet’s co-worker and friend at the supermarket, who is also Philip’s nephew.
• Ian McElhinney is Gerry, Janet’s father, who is a retired policeman and a strict Catholic.
• Tara Lynne O’Neill is Mary, Janet’s mother, who is a devout Catholic and a homemaker.
• Michael Smiley as Brian, Seamus’ producer and friend, who is cynical and sarcastic.
• Bronagh Waugh as Siobhan, Seamus’ ex-wife and colleague, who is still bitter about their divorce.

The second season could also introduce some new characters, such as the politician that Janet had an affair with, or some of Seamus’ rivals or enemies in the media industry.
