The first season of crime series Bodies<\/a> is now available to stream in full on Netflix<\/a>, with fans starting to unlock the secrets of the mysterious show.<\/p>\n

The series is based on the graphic novel of the same name<\/a> by Si Spencer, and stars Stephen Graham, Shira Haas, Kyle Soller, Amaka Okafor and more.<\/p>\n

However, those who have already made their way right to the end of the eight-part series may find themselves wondering \u2013 will there be a season 2?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about Bodies<\/a> season 2.<\/p>\n

At this point, it\u2019s difficult to say. Nothing has been confirmed yet either way<\/strong>, and the main storyline of season 1 is certainly wrapped up by the end of the finale. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, that doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t a tease of the potential for more to come. <\/span>Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, writer Paul Tomalin explained this approach. <\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about the possibility of future seasons, Tomalin said: \u201cWe\u2019d be plain suicidal to rule anything out, but I do think that we owed it to the audience to end this b*****d. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really important to Netflix that, when you have a concept like this, you betray your audience if you think, \u2018And now we\u2019re going to drag it out for ever and ever and ever, because we all have bills to pay.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s a really tiring thing. <\/span>I get exhausted by it as a viewer when you get this spectacular pilot then, at the end, you think, \u2018You\u2019ve only given me about three eps\u2019 worth of turns here.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to feel satisfied, I want you to feel knackered having watched it \u2019til 5am \u2013 and that means an ending. That means closure. And I think as a writer these days, it\u2019s rare you get to do endings, because so often people are about the returnable factor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomalin continued: \u201cWe\u2019re 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut in terms of, \u2018Is there a second series?\u2019 It\u2019s lovely to be asked, but if there isn\u2019t, this is the whole kit and caboodle. It\u2019s a kitchen sink job. So if it\u2019s just one series, I love limited series \u2013 you can watch it knowing there\u2019s going to be an end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When would Bodies season 2 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If there were to be a second season of Bodies, then it could still be a good while until we get to see it. The first season originally started filming in May 2022, before arriving on our screens in October 2023.<\/p>\n

The concept for the second season appears as though it\u2019s still in the idea stage at this point \u2013 without scripts already written, it seems as though it could take a while before filming on season 2 even began.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d imagine that an early 2025<\/strong> release date would be the soonest we could see new episodes of Bodies, if it were to return for a season 2, but we\u2019ll keep this page updated if and when any more concrete information is released.<\/p>
