Firefly Lane to End with Two-Part Season 2 at Netflix

Kate and Tully’s next adventure will be their last. Firefly Lane will end with a super-sized Season 2 at Netflix.

The streaming service announced the news with a few photos, giving fans a sneak peek at what to expect when the first batch of episodes drops in December.

The show’s first season premiered in February 2021. Firefly Lane is based on the book of the same name by Kristin Hannah. 

According to TV Line, Season 2 will have 16 episodes total, with the first nine debuting on Friday, December 2; the final seven will premiere in 2023.

For comparison, the first season, starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke as Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey, contained ten episodes.

Netflix’s TUDUM shared that four cast members will join the series for its second and final season: India de Beaufort as Charlotte, Greg Germann as Benedict, Jolene Purdy as Justine, and Ignacio Serricchio as Danny.

Firefly Lane centers on Tully and Kate’s friendship that spans decades, and the series’ biggest mystery is what causes the fallout in their thirty-year friendship. Netflix will reveal the answer to that looming question in the show’s final season.

Per Netflix’s description, Kate will grapple with the painful aftermath of Johnny’s ill-fated trip to Iraq, which is one of the cliffhangers from Season 1. The phone call about the news juxtaposes Kate and Tully’s toast to their comeback in 2004.

As for Tully, she builds her career from the ground up as she faces a lawsuit for walking away from her talk show, The Girlfriend Hour.

This work leads Tully “to search for answers about who she is and where she comes from — including a quest to find the father she never met, against the wishes of her secretive hippie mother, Cloud.”

Firefly Lane Season 2 takes fans to the ’80s, where “we see Kate and Johnny first fall in love, creating more than a little drama in the newsroom where they work, as Tully’s career rises and she spars (and flirts!) with cocky sportscaster Danny Diaz.” Though they can’t stop arguing, Danny could be Tully’s match.

Flashing back a bit further, Firefly Lane follows a teenage Kate and Tully in the ’70s as they “struggle to keep their friendship together as Cloud goes to jail for dealing drugs and Tully goes to live with her grandmother, far away from Firefly Lane.”

Even though they spend high school apart, Kate and Tully’s friendship endures — until it doesn’t.

Will the friends be able to repair their epic friendship after Kate says, at her father Bud’s funeral in 2003, she can’t forgive Tully for something she did?
