The Abandons didn’t exactly tiptoe out with a gentle goodbye — it slammed the door, set the house on fire (literally), and left everyone staring at the screen wondering who walked out of those flames.
Naturally, fans are now asking the real question: Is Season 2 happening, or was that cliffhanger just Netflix teasing us again?
Let’s get into it.
ICYMI: The Abandons Filming Locations
Has The Abandons Been Renewed for Season 2?
Short answer: Not yet.
As of now, Netflix haven’t officially renewed The Abandons for a second season. The platform famously keeps its cards close to its chest, especially with series that involve big-name casts who might already be juggling other projects.
And historically, Netflix have been pretty stingy with multi-season renewals — unless a show absolutely explodes.

What we do know is this:
-
The show’s ratings have been strong, especially internationally.
-
Viewer engagement has climbed week by week.
-
The IMDb score keeps creeping upward.
-
And the finale has everyone talking — loudly.
Despite this momentum, industry watchers remain cautious. Without a green light from Netflix, everything’s still up in the air. Still, if online noise counts for anything, The Abandons is very much alive in the public conversation.
The production team have been dropping hints that they’re not done yet. The director previously teased that “the story isn’t finished,” and one cast member noted how demand has been “incredibly strong both domestically and overseas.”
Not a confirmation, but certainly not a denial.
There’s also talk behind the scenes that a second season is possible if fan support stays loud enough. Translation: keep tweeting, keep watching, keep shouting about it.

What Happened in That Finale — and Why It Sets Up Season 2 Perfectly
The entire season leads to an explosive showdown between two of the most powerful women in the frontier:
Fiona Nolan (Lena Headey) vs Constance Van Ness (Gillian Anderson).
It’s a land war, a family feud, and a generational tragedy rolled into one. After Willem’s assault on Dahlia and the Nolan family’s attempt to bury the truth — literally and figuratively — the fragile peace between the two households finally collapses.
By the finale, all of Constance’s careful scheming unravels:
-
Trisha turns against her.
-
The Red Masks fail to maintain control.
-
Elias and the Nolan children stage a full assault.
-
Miles uses his sharpshooting skills to break Fiona free.
-
And Elias crashes a wagon of flaming barrels straight into the Van Ness estate.
The entire empire burns.

Netflix LOVES an ambiguous ending… but this one screams continuation.
So What Could Happen in The Abandons Season 2?
Assuming Netflix do the obvious thing and renew the show, here’s where the story seems to be heading:
1. The Survivor Takes Control
Whether it’s Fiona, Constance, or both, the power vacuum in Angel’s Ridge will be massive.
-
If Fiona survives, she becomes the reluctant leader of a fractured, traumatised community.
-
If Constance survives, she’ll want revenge — even with her resources gone.
-
If both survive? Expect an uneasy, explosive partnership or a second war.
2. A Larger Threat Will Likely Appear
With the Red Masks decimated and the Van Ness empire in ruins, the frontier is now open to new enemies. The show hinted at deeper corruption within the region. Season 2 could introduce:
-
A rival land baron
-
Government forces
-
Another criminal outfit eyeing Jasper Hollow
The frontier hates a power vacuum — someone always steps in.

3. Dahlia’s Journey Becomes Central
After surviving both trauma and Constance’s cruelty, Dahlia is no longer the quiet daughter from episode one.
She’s now hardened, sharp, and fiercely aware of her own strength.
A revenge arc? A leadership arc? Both are possible.
4. Elias and Trisha’s Fractured Romance
Their relationship ended in heartbreak, but with Willem’s true nature now exposed, there’s space for reconciliation.
Season 2 could explore:
-
Their divided loyalties
-
Trisha trying to escape her family’s legacy
-
Elias stepping into a leadership role within the Nolans
Their love story might become the emotional anchor of the next chapter.
5. Miles Alderton’s Past Comes Back
We already know Miles has a complicated history. Season 1 barely scratched the surface.
If he becomes more involved in leading the community, his past could return to threaten everyone.

Will The Abandons Actually Return?
Honestly? The show has a strong case.
It’s visually striking, led by two powerhouse actresses, and ended on a cliffhanger bold enough to suggest confidence from the writers. Netflix haven’t confirmed anything, but fans aren’t letting this one fade quietly.
Until an official announcement drops, all we can do is keep the noise going — because the story is far from finished, and the frontier still has plenty of dust to kick up.
