The Netflix adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s novel The Perfect Couple has made waves since its debut as a captivating miniseries.
With a storyline that revolves around a murder mystery set against the backdrop of a wedding, the show has gained attention for both its immersive storytelling and its conclusion, which has left many viewers split in their reactions.
The Perfect Couple on Netflix: Series two on the cards?
At the centre of the discussion is the possibility of a second season.
And showrunner Jenna Lamia has shed some light on the potential for the series’ continuation.
In an interview with Town & Country, she said: “If all the elements came together and everybody was enthusiastic and the idea was inspiring enough to gather the same group of talented people together again, I think it’s something that’s possible. I would never say it’s impossible.”
Jenna mentioned the series’ open ending, as she hinted at the potential of a sequel to address unanswered questions.
“There are definitely questions left at the end. The best shows – regardless if they’re going to do another season – leave you thinking after you’ve watched the final one.”
For Jenna, the adaptation of Hilderbrand’s novel was a dream project.
“I was in Maine, at this restaurant sitting dockside eating a lobster roll when I checked my email…and I had this email from Gail Berman saying…it’s called The Perfect Couple. I didn’t even finish the email,” she said, adding: “I wrote back immediately and I said: ‘I am the right writer.'”

Despite the enthusiasm about a potential future season, reaction to the series finale have been mixed.
On social media, some viewers expressed disappointment in the show’s resolution.
“Rubbish ending!!!!! Loved the show but the end was crap! #ThePerfectCouple,” one viewer complained.
