Save Me star Lennie James is still “waiting for an idea” for season 3

by

As a dedicated cinema enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in various narratives, I find myself eagerly anticipating the potential return of Lennie James‘s captivating series, Save Me. The story of Nelly’s quest to find his estranged daughter Jody is one that resonates deeply with me, and I am genuinely intrigued by where the narrative might lead in a third season.

Last year around this time, news emerged about Sky working on a third installment of the drama series “Save Me,” which is both written and acted by Lennie James.

Currently, James has shared some insights about the project progression, and it appears that although he remains optimistic about a potential Season 3, he hasn’t solidified a concept for how the narrative could unfold at this stage.

“And until it does, there won’t be any more. But the longer it goes, the harder it becomes.”

James added that he takes it “as a compliment that you’re asking the question”.

Following the character of James named Nelly, we see him embarking on a mission to locate his long-lost daughter Jody, who had mysteriously vanished.

The series might have ended after season 2, but it also had the potential to go on.)

Following season 1, it became clear to me that a second season was necessary, and I had no intention for the story to conclude then.

If my work is well-received by those in charge, and they choose to proceed with it, then the third season could mark the conclusion.

James’s newest production, titled “Mr Loverman,” is based on Bernardine Evaristo’s novel by the same name and focuses on Barry, a 74-year-old man originally from Antigua who lives in Hackney, as he grapples with his wife suspecting him of infidelity with various women.

Actually, contrary to appearances, he’s been unfaithful to her for many years, but not with just anyone – it was with his closest friend and true love, Morris.

As a devoted cinephile, I adore how the series isn’t confined by the stereotypical narrative often seen in stories handed down through generations – the “no racial minorities, no Irish, no pets” trope. This kind of story has become an unfortunate archetype, mainly because it’s perceived as something relatable to a broader audience.

“I believe one of the key aspects of Mr. Loverman’s character, as well as what made I May Destroy You stand out, is something that isn’t found in many other works. Unfortunately, there are too few examples of this.

Save Me and Save Me Too are available to stream on Sky and NOW – find out more about how to sign up for Sky TV.

Starting from 6 a.m. on Monday, 14th October, you’ll be able to stream all episodes of Mr Loverman on BBC iPlayer. The initial pair of episodes will also be broadcast on BBC One at 9 p.m. the same day, with new episodes airing weekly thereafter.
