The Watcher Season 2 is set to come back to Netflix. It is loosely based on a 2018 article by Reeves Wiedeman for New York magazine’s website The Cut. The show follows a married couple who are horrifyingly stalked by way of letters after moving into a new home. Season 1 earned a 56% Tomatometer average on Rotten Tomatoes, however, it was a smash hit on the streaming service. Here’s what we know about The Watcher Season 2.
Possible Storyline and Cast
Naomi Watts told reports in April 2023, “We didn’t know, and we still don’t know/ I loved that. I loved not knowing. I think that we knew the story that was unresolved, and I liked how this couple — who started in a great place and seemed to be enjoying life and reaching their dreams and still having sex, everything is peachy — become unraveled by this situation and turn on each other. They tried first to attack the problem together very much as a united front, but they turned on each other. That’s good drama.”
