Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes is a psychological thriller that took the world by storm with its shocking twist ending. The show, based on the novel by Sarah Pinborough, follows Louise, a single mother who gets involved in a dangerous affair with her boss David and his wife Adele, who has a dark secret. The show’s finale revealed that Adele was actually Rob, Adele’s old friend who swapped bodies with her using astral projection, and that he did the same thing to Louise, taking over her life and marrying David.
The show was released as a limited series, meaning it was meant to have only one season. However, given its popularity and cliffhanger ending, many fans are wondering if there will be a second season of Behind Her Eyes. Here’s everything we know so far.
Behind Her Eyes Season 2 Potential Plot: What’s next?
It’s hard to predict what the plot of a second season of Behind Her Eyes would be, since the first season covered the entire story of the novel and ended with a major twist. However, there are some possible directions that the show could take if it continues.
One option is to explore the consequences of Rob’s actions and how he will cope with living as Louise. Will he be able to fool David and everyone else? Will he be happy with his new life? Will he face any threats from Adele or Louise’s souls, who are trapped in different bodies? Will he try to swap bodies again with someone else?
Another option is to focus on David and his reaction to finding out the truth about Rob and Adele. Will he discover that his wife and lover are not who they seem? Will he try to save them or get revenge on Rob? Will he fall in love with someone else or stay loyal to Rob/Louise?
A third option is to introduce new characters and new twists that could challenge Rob’s plan or reveal more secrets about astral projection. For example, there could be other people who have the same ability as Rob and Adele, or there could be a way to reverse the body swap or communicate with the trapped souls.
Behind Her Eyes Season 2 Cast: Who’s in it?
If Behind Her Eyes gets a second season, we can expect most of the main cast to return, unless there are more body swaps involved. That means we would see:
- Simona Brown as Rob/Louise
- Tom Bateman as David
- Eve Hewson as Adele/Rob
- Robert Aramayo as Rob/Adele
- Tyler Howitt as Adam, Louise’s son
We might also see some new faces joining the cast, depending on the plot of the second season. For example, there could be new love interests for David or Rob/Louise, new friends or enemies for Rob/Louise, or new characters who have something to do with astral projection.
Will there be Behind Her Eyes Season 2?
As of now, Netflix has not confirmed or denied whether there will be a second season of Behind Her Eyes. The show was released as a limited series, which means it was originally intended to have only one season. However, Netflix has been known to renew some limited series for more seasons based on their popularity and fan demand, such as The Haunting of Hill House and The Sinner.
The author of the novel, Sarah Pinborough, has also said that she doesn’t know if there will be a second season of Behind Her Eyes, but she would be interested to see where the showrunners would take it. She told Express.co.uk: “I would be interested to see where they would take it as it’s a pretty closed ending… But if it does well, you never know.”
Behind Her Eyes Season 2 Release Date: Speculation!
Since Netflix has not officially ordered a second season of Behind Her Eyes yet, there is no release date for it either. However, we can make some guesses based on the production schedule of the first season.
The first season of Behind Her Eyes took four months to film (from June 2019 to October 2019) and premiered 16 months later (in February 2021). If the same timeline applies to a potential second season, that would mean that it could premiere sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. However, this is just speculation and it could change depending on various factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of the cast and crew, and the complexity of the plot.
