The Widow Season 2 Release Date: When Will It Premiere?
Currently, the show hasn’t been renewed yet although it’s a little over three years since the viewers last saw it on the screens. At this point, many of us are curious to know if a second season will even happen. Some speculate that the series is discontinued and will not have a second season.
Showrunner Jack Williams disclosed that the show is called-off. He also revealed that there was no point in continuing the story as it was only meant for an eight-episode season which entirely sums up everything. It’s more or less like a limited series.
