“Sharp Objects” won’t be getting a second season, showrunner Marti Noxon said at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour.
“We’re not talking about a Season 2,” Noxon said. “This is it, so bask in it while you can.”
The eight-episode limited series is based on Gillian Flynn’s debut novel of the same name, so an additional season would have taken the series off-book. While “Sharp Objects” is a limited series, it wouldn’t be unprecedented to add on a second season. Last year’s critical darling “Big Little Lies” was originally billed as a limited series before HBO added a second season.
