Creator says new season 'could go a lot of different directions'
In an interview with USA TODAY before the show was renewed, showrunner Cutter said that the Season 1 finalelays the groundwork for more storylines.
"Season 1 ends in a place where it could go a lot of different directions, and I have an idea of what I think is the right direction," Cutter said.
The showrunner explained, the murder mystery storyline and the personal relationships between the wives, "particularly Sophie and Margo," drive the show, so a potential Season 2 would have to "weave those things together."
