At this point, it’s difficult to say. Nothing has been confirmed yet either way, and the main storyline of season 1 is certainly wrapped up by the end of the finale.

However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a tease of the potential for more to come. Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, writer Paul Tomalin explained this approach.

When asked about the possibility of future seasons, Tomalin said: “We’d be plain suicidal to rule anything out, but I do think that we owed it to the audience to end this b*****d.

“It was really important to Netflix that, when you have a concept like this, you betray your audience if you think, ‘And now we’re going to drag it out for ever and ever and ever, because we all have bills to pay.’

“I think that’s a really tiring thing. I get exhausted by it as a viewer when you get this spectacular pilot then, at the end, you think, ‘You’ve only given me about three eps’ worth of turns here.’

“I want you to feel satisfied, I want you to feel knackered having watched it ’til 5am – and that means an ending. That means closure. And I think as a writer these days, it’s rare you get to do endings, because so often people are about the returnable factor.”

Tomalin continued: “We’re not morons, there is an ellipsis, there is a cute dot dot dot at the end, just in case. And we do have an idea.

“But in terms of, ‘Is there a second series?’ It’s lovely to be asked, but if there isn’t, this is the whole kit and caboodle. It’s a kitchen sink job. So if it’s just one series, I love limited series – you can watch it knowing there’s going to be an end.”
