Kate Winslet better start practicing that Delco accent again.<\/p>\n
Five years after she starred as small-town detective Mare Sheehan in HBO’s “Mare of Easttown,”\u00a0Winslet now says there’s “a strong possibility”\u00a0that she’ll film a Season 2 of “Mare”\u00a0next year. (HBO had no comment when reached by TVLine.)<\/p>\n
“Mare”\u00a0was originally conceived as a one-off limited series \u2014\u00a0“it was done and dusted, finished,”\u00a0Winslet says \u2014\u00a0but the idea of a second season came up again a few months ago:\u00a0“There were proper conversations around a timeframe when it could be possible. And so I think we probably will do it, and that’s the first time I’ve felt that.”<\/p>\n
Winslet stressed that filming of Season 2 “wouldn’t actually be this year,”\u00a0but “there’s a strong likelihood it would film sometime in 2027.” Previously, Winslet told Deadline that she would only revisit “Mare”\u00a0if “the story was too bloody good to resist, because it took a lot out of all of us filming ‘Mare’… We’ll only do it again if the story’s compelling enough.”<\/p>\n
“Mare of Easttown”\u00a0debuted on HBO in 2021 with a seven-episode season, with Winslet’s Mare Sheehan investigating the murder of a local teen mom. It earned 16 Emmy nominations, with acting wins for Winslet and her co-stars Julianne Nicholson and Evan Peters, but it was always billed as a limited series, competing as one at the Emmys that year. (HBO\u00a0has yet to formally renew “Mare”\u00a0for a second season.)<\/p>\n
