The Watcher Star Has Disappointing Update on Season 2 of Netflix Thriller Series

As a dedicated fan who has binged watched countless series during the Streaming Wars era, I must confess that the enigma surrounding Season 2 of Netflix‘s The Watcher has left me in a state of perpetual suspense.


The popular Netflix show, “The Watcher,” was a standout addition to their lineup during the streaming industry’s intense competition following the pandemic. Given its success, viewers have been eagerly awaiting further installments. Known for quickly releasing multiple seasons of a series before wrapping up around Seasons 3 or 4 (if at all), Netflix is in a familiar position. Yet, co-creator Ryan Murphy, renowned for his work on “American Horror Story,” has been consistently delivering new and returning content since 2022, not only maintaining but expanding Netflix’s offerings with hit series like the drama “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

Since Ryan Murphy launched both “Monster” and “American Horror Story” as ongoing series, fans have been eagerly waiting for news about Season 2 of “The Watcher.” Netflix confirmed that a second season was in development, but since then, there seems to be no progress on the production front.

Actress Naomi Watts, known for her role in “The Ring,” joined forces with Bobby Cannavale (recognizable from “Ant-Man” and “Mr. Robot”) in the movie titled “The Watcher.” However, during a recent chat, Watts confessed that she has yet to receive any updates regarding a potential second season of “The Watcher.

If there exists one, I don’t possess it. I only wish I did. What I can say is that it was really enjoyable, but I don’t have any new information to share about it,” Watts shared with EW.

It’s uncertain at this stage whether Watts and Cannavale could have knowledge about The Watcher Season 2 developments. (SPOILER ALERT) By the end of Season 1, Nora and Dean Brannock, portrayed by Watts and Cannavale, abandoned their home due to the relentless torment of the Watcher. However, it was later discovered that the one who confessed to being The Watcher (Theodora) was lying, while the true culprit remained undisclosed. Both Nora and Dean spiraled downward; Dean continued to nurture his obsession with the Watcher even after leaving the house, while keeping this secret from his wife. In contrast, Nora allowed her husband to believe she was unaware of his deceit, all the while observing him covertly.

In its second season, “The Watcher” could delve deeper into the narrative of characters Dean and Nora, or it might choose to maintain emphasis on the house, the surrounding neighborhood, and the mysterious fixation of The Watcher towards the next occupants. This series is inspired by the true events that occurred in the Broaddus family’s home in Westfield, New Jersey, where they faced threatening letters from 2014 until their move in 2019. The show has made certain creative adjustments when re-telling the story, and its second season could potentially explore a fresh tale, unbound by historical constraints.

The Watcher Season 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
