No official news on a release date for season two yet \u2013 but we\u2019ll keep you posted with all the latest developments.<\/p>\n<p>Sex\/Life was commissioned by Netflix in August 2019 (with a one-season order), and the casting announcements came rolling in between January and March 2020. The show was originally meant to begin filming shortly after that, but \u2013 for obvious, coronavirus-related reasons \u2013 it did not.<\/p>\n<p>Filming eventually began in Mississauga, Canada at the end of August 2020, and it ultimately wrapped just over three months later in December. Based on those timings, we reckon they could get a second season filmed by<strong> spring 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1252896\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Sex_Life_Season1_Episode7_00_03_01_23R-1a3e8a6.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Brad\" title=\"&quot;Brad\" \/><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" \/> Brad in Sex\/Life (Netflix)<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\" \/><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Sex\/Life season 2 cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The second season would definitely need to include Billie Connelly (played by Sarah Shahi), and her ex-boyfriend (and maybe now current lover?)

Future of Brad &amp; Billy\u2019s relationship<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>**WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SEASON ONE**<\/p>\n<p>After eight episodes, plenty of passionate sex scenes, and some full-frontal nudity from Adam Demos, Sex\/Life season one came to an end with a sudden twist as Billie made a seismic decision in the closing moments of the show; that she would demand sex from Brad while staying married to Cooper. Reactions to her decision have been mixed, but the cliffhanger ending certainly suggests that season two is on the way.<\/p>\n<p>To recap: Sex\/Life is inspired by the novel 44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton, and is written by Stacy Rukeyser. Season one was the story of a love triangle between a woman (Billie), her husband (Cooper), and her ex-boyfriend (Brad) \u2013 but the steamy sex with the ex-boyfriend was initially all in the past, living in Billie\u2019s brain and between the pages of her journal. That is, until her obsession grew, and Brad started trying to worm his way back into her life.<\/p>\n<p>As Netflix put it, \u201cBillie Connelly (Sarah Shahi) wasn\u2019t always a stay-at-home wife and mother living in the suburbs. Before she married loving and reliable Cooper (Mike Vogel) and moved to Connecticut, Billie was a free-spirited wild child living in New York City with her best friend Sasha (Margaret Odette), working hard and playing even harder. Exhausted from taking care of her two young kids and feeling nostalgic for her past, Billie starts journaling and fantasising about her passionate exploits with sexy ex-boyfriend Brad (Adam Demos), the big heartbreak she never got over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the more Billie remembers, the more she wonders how she got here \u2014 and then her husband finds her journal. Will the truth about Billie\u2019s past start a sexual revolution in her marriage, or lead her down a path back to the life she thought she left behind with the man who broke her heart?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1200436\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/sex-life-mike-vogel-sarah-shahi-6a323a9.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C412&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Sex\/Life\" title=\"&quot;sex-life-mike-vogel-sarah-shahi&quot;\" \/><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" \/> Mike Vogel and Sarah Shahi in Sex\/Life<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>After Cooper found Billie\u2019s journal, he was pretty upset (spoiler alert!), and they went through plenty of ups and downs. Billie wasn\u2019t sure what she wanted, and Cooper was devastated and desperate to save his marriage. Still \u2013 by the end, it seemed that Billie had chosen to stick with Cooper and the kids, and embrace the suburban mum life while also returning to her studies and getting her career back on track.<\/p>\n<p>But no! In a sudden twist right at the end, Billie ran back to Brad \u2013 with a new decision. She made it clear that she won\u2019t be leaving her husband, but that she wants a sexual relationship with Brad that picked up where things left off a decade before.<\/p>\n<p>Not many TV shows would end with the words \u201cnow f**k me,\u201d but hey \u2013 that\u2019s Sex\/Life for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was always intended to be a shocking realisation for Billy,\u201d showrunner Stacy Rukeyser <a href=\"\/\/tvline.com\/2021\/06\/25\/sex-life-finale-interview-sarah-shahi-season-2-netflix\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">TVLine<\/a>. \u201cShe loves both her children, but she\u2019s in this world with other parents who seem to be fulfilled with just this world, and it\u2019s not enough for her. There is this other part of her, this more sexual self, this wild or free part of herself that she wants to experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So how does Brad respond to Billie\u2019s suggestion? So far, we don\u2019t really know; season one ended before he got a chance to reply.<\/p>\n<p>Rukeyser said: \u201cI don\u2019t know what Brad is going to say to her. He really put his heart out there on the driveway and proposed a happily-ever-after to her, and that is not what she\u2019s proposing to him. I\u2019m not sure if Brad will say yes to that or not. But that\u2019s what we\u2019re hoping to get a chance to explore in season two.\u201d<\/p> <p>And Demos, who stars as Brad, told <a href=\"\/\/www.thecut.com\/2021\/06\/introducing-sex-life-actor-adam-demos.html&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">The Cut<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m just not smart enough like these writers and creators to come up with anything \u2014 anything I can pitch is going to be one percent of what they have in store. I think that the way it ends, anything could happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But even if Billie doesn\u2019t want to end her marriage, Cooper might call it a day. On his phone, he was able to see that his wife had run off to Manhattan \u2013 and obviously to Brad. That\u2019s when he put in a call to his boss Francesca, who has made it explicitly clear that she wants him to leave Billie and get together with her. Will Cooper leave Billie? Or perhaps have an affair of his own? Perhaps they\u2019ll try an open marriage?<\/p>\n<h2><b>Is there a trailer for Sex\/Life season 2?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>No trailer yet, but we\u2019ll keep an eye out!
