| The Rainmaker Ending Explained — and What’s the Craic with Season 2 Rumours? |
The Rainmaker went out with a bang in its tenth and final episode — all courtroom chaos, moral grey areas, and just enough unfinished business to keep fans whisperin’, “Go on then, give us another season.”
🎬 The Rainmaker Finale Recap — Bruiser, Rudy and the Big Reveal
We kick off with Bruiser finding out Melvin’s locked up in the basement of Prince’s bar. She ropes in Rudy to get him handed to Detective Portillo, but Rudy’s not one to let an opportunity slide.
In thirty precious minutes with Melvin, he convinces him to plead guilty — not to save himself, but to drag down the real monster behind his mum’s death, the lot over at Great Benefit.
Meanwhile, Drummond’s doing his best puppet-master impression, tryin’ to talk Sarah Plankmore into stayin’ loyal to the firm, saying truth ain’t their client. Smooth talker, but we all know he’s rattled.
Once Melvin’s on the stand, boom — he confesses to fifteen murders at the hospital, Donny Ray included. Mrs Black finally breathes again.
He also spills about Jane Allen, the Tinley Britt operative who tried to off him. The court erupts, Drummond’s objections get slapped down, and Rudy smells blood.
Then Rudy’s got to face Sarah head-on. He pleads with her to walk away while she still can, but she’s done being his conscience.
Meanwhile Brad’s caught between the Feds and Drummond, and it’s all about who’ll snitch first.
💥 The Trial Fireworks
 |
Rudy drags Mr Keeley into the spotlight, pushing him ‘til he admits he deleted the NarPense data himself.
Sarah tries to save the lad, hinting others could’ve done it — Keeley fires back, naming Brad as another who had access. Things go properly sideways from there.
And then the pièce de résistance: Drummond ends up on the stand himself, trying to wriggle out of every accusation. Doesn’t help. The judge boots him as counsel. Karma, eh?
Rudy’s closing speech is pure heart — he begs the jury to remember the mother who lost her son.
Sarah claps back, painting Rudy as a bloke who takes everything too personal. But when the verdict lands, it’s Rudy who wins big: Great Benefit is found liable.
Mrs Black walks away with $82 million (£65 m!) — and a little justice at last.
🍻 A Proper Ending — Sort Of
With the case wrapped, the gang celebrates. Rudy’s bought Prince’s bar and offers Mrs Black the head-chef gig.
Deck’s thinking about sittin’ the bar exam again (you love to see it). Rudy hands him his late brother’s coin — a symbolic full circle.
Cut to prison, where Melvin and Brad are awkwardly sharing space. The show ends on a bittersweet note — a victory, but one that’s cost everyone a piece of their soul.
🧩 What The Rainmaker Ending Really Means
 |
It’s the kind of finale that feels final — but only just.
Sarah’s clearly picking sides with Tinley Britt, Drummond’s being sniffed at by the Feds, and Deck’s bar ambitions could easily flip into another courtroom war.
The writers left the door open — not wide, but ajar — for more stories about greed, guilt, and redemption.
🌧️ Will The Rainmaker Season 2 Happen?
Here’s the honest truth — nothing’s been confirmed yet.
But with its massive viewership numbers and fan buzz, it’d be daft if USA Network didn’t at least think about another round.
Creator Michael Seitzman has hinted he’s got loads of ideas, though he’s not sure if he wants to bring everyone back or start fresh. Fair play — the man’s torn between closure and curiosity.
Lead lad Milo Callaghan’s already said he’s game for more seasons — “Seven seasons, lad, let’s go,” as he cheekily put it in one interview.
So if they do get renewed, expect Rudy, Deck, and Bruiser to be front and centre again, takin’ on fresh corruption and messier moral calls.
🚀 What Could Go Down in Season 2 (if We Get One)
-
Sarah’s Turn to the Dark Side: Expect a full villain arc — she’s already halfway there.
-
Rudy & Deck’s New Law Firm: A scrappy underdog team takin’ on more shady corporations — sign us up.
-
Drummond’s Downfall: There’s plenty left to unpick with his corruption case.
-
Melvin & Brad Behind Bars: That pairing screams chaos and blackmail.
-
New Faces, New Cases: Maybe even a cross-city scandal or a class-action twist.
The Rainmaker ended like a legal thriller should — poised, punchy, and just morally messy enough to stay with you.
If Season 2 lands, it’ll be an even bigger storm — and knowing Rudy, he’s not about to put his umbrella away anytime soon.
