Imperfect Women Renewed for Season 2 at Apple TV+

The limited series becomes an ongoing drama after a strong first season, with Kerry Washington's character taking center stage in the new season.

Collider reports that Apple TV+'s "Imperfect Women" has been renewed for a second season, despite originally being ordered as a limited series. The show's first season drew a large audience, prompting the streamer to continue the story beyond the Araminta Hall novel it was based on.

The first season followed the aftermath of a murder that shattered the lives of three lifelong friends: Mary (Elisabeth Moss), Eleanor (Kerry Washington) and Nancy (Kate Mara). After Nancy's death, Mary and Eleanor were left to pick up the pieces. Now that they have closure, the second season will shift focus.

Season 2 will center on Eleanor as she moves to Martha's Vineyard, returning to her hometown and the affluent Black community there. She soon discovers something darker beneath the surface, and the past she thought she knew is called into question. Creator Annie Weisman and co-showrunner Justin Hillia are crafting an original story for this new chapter.

Elisabeth Moss, who won an Emmy for her role, will not return as a cast member but will remain an executive producer. In a statement reported by Collider, Washington said she was thrilled to step back into Eleanor's shoes and explore a fresh chapter with the team at Simpson Street, Apple and Love & Squalor Pictures.
