Netflix subscribers have been drawn in by the streamer\u2019s latest Harlan Coben thriller Stay Close, which follows a woman desperately trying to escape her dark past.<\/p>\n

As fans have come to expect from the crime novelist, there are a number of twists and turns as the mystery is gradually revealed, but the story isn\u2019t tied up in a neat little bow.<\/p>\n

In fact, it\u2019s quite the opposite, with the Stay Close ending being a last-minute shocker that drops a major bombshell on viewers and puts the future of three characters in peril.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, many viewers will be curious to know if this development will be followed up on in a second season, so we\u2019ve rounded up all of the information we have so far.\u00a0Spoiler warning!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will there be a Stay Close season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Netflix<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Netflix<\/a> is yet to announce whether Stay Close will return for a second season, with the show seemingly intended to be a miniseries in the same vein as previous Harlan Coben adaptations like The Stranger and The Woods.<\/p>\n
That said, star Richard Armitage told RadioTimes.com<\/a> that the final twist, which revealed Dave to be a completely unwitting murderer, does leave a \u201ctiny little door open\u201d for a potential follow-up.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cIt\u2019s such a brilliant twist and one of the things that I like about it is the fact that you don\u2019t really see what he\u2019s done. You just know that there was somebody in the boot of that car.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t see him in the car, you don\u2019t actually see the thing happen; it\u2019s all in the viewer\u2019s imagination. And of course, he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s done either, which I think is another brilliant opener for maybe Stay Close 2 \u2013 who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n
Co-star Bethany Antonia agreed that there is scope for another story, but felt that a significant time-jump would be the best way to explore the next chapter in the lives of Shaw family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that it will come back to haunt them, but in a long time,\u201d Antonia theorises. \u201cIt will be Kayleigh\u2019s wedding when she\u2019s like 35, and then she\u2019ll see a yellow car and it will bring back all the memories.\u201d<\/p>
Stay Close season 2 release date rumours<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If Stay Close were to return for a second season, it\u2019s likely that production would aim for a release date approximately one year from now, with most scripted shows operating on a roughly annual cycle.<\/p>\n
However, no Harlan Coben adaptations produced thus far have returned for multiple seasons, so the show would have to be very popular for Netflix to make an exception here.<\/p>\n
