There’s no official green light yet, but Variety reports that a writers’ room is already in progress. According to the same source, Amazon has acknowledged the show’s strong viewership and loyal following, and a final decision is expected soon.

There’s also buzz about a possible cameo from the mom of Skinner’s boyfriend, photographer Terry O’Connor—often featured in Skinner’s social content and known for his work with Charli XCX. Season one took years to develop, but now that the series has momentum, many are hoping the next chapter doesn’t take quite as long.
