Patricia Clarkson Answers Whether She’d Be Up for a Second Season of Sharp Objects

As with the miniseries’ network predecessor Big Little Lies, fans are already gunning for a second season.

A few weeks into the series’ run, Objects’ lead Amy Adams took the possibility of a second season off the table.

“Unlike Big Little Lies where all of the stars wanted to come back, Sharp Objects, it’s a very dark character, very dark material. Amy doesn’t want to live in this character again and I can’t blame her, it’s a lot to take on for an actress,” HBO president of programming Casey Bloys told Deadline. “So no plans for a second season. We are very happy with this living as a limited series.”

However, Sharp Objects author Gillian Flynn had a different take. She’d “never say no” to working on a second season of the series.

“My characters always go on in my imagination. They have full working lives in there, and I keep in touch with all of them,” she told Digital Spy. “I would never say no [to another season]. I know exactly what happens to them.”

Showrunner Marti Noxon, too, (while admitting it would be difficult to put together) didn’t quite rule out a second installment. “It’s off the table in terms of, people are going on to their next projects, and it was a pretty hard A-team to assemble. It’s not hard to imagine from a story standpoint, because obviously we love these characters, but from a technical standpoint it seems like a long shot.”
