Sweetpea season 1 is over, and the fate of the show is still up in the air

As a dedicated binge-watcher with a soft spot for dark thrillers, I must say, the sudden ending of Sweetpea left me reeling. I’ve seen my fair share of series come and go, but this one had me hooked from the get-go. The unexpected twist in the finale has me yearning for more, much like Rhiannon craves her next victim.


Today is Friday, so you might be anticipating the latest installment of “Sweetpea” featuring Ella Purnell on Starz. The previous episode ended dramatically as Rhiannon mercilessly killed AJ. I’m still shedding tears over it; he was just exceptional. But surprisingly, there’s no new episode today.

Indeed, it seems we’ve reached the end of Sweetpea’s first season. It can be tricky to gauge a streamer’s season length since they often vary, but in this case, Sweetpea comprises just six episodes. As last week’s episode was “Life 2.0,” which happened to be the sixth one, unfortunately, that signifies the conclusion of the dark thriller series for now.

Initially, I had decided that I wouldn’t continue watching this series after the initial episodes. However, the final episode significantly altered my perception, and now I firmly believe a second season of Sweetpea is necessary! As of now, there’s no confirmation about the show’s renewal or cancellation. Originated from Britain, it was produced by Sky Atlantic, with Starz as the U.S. platform for distribution. Whether this gripping series will return depends on the British production studio’s decision.

After the final episode of Sweetpea, Kirstie Swain shared with The Hollywood Reporter that there are certainly more stories to develop for a potential second season. The concept for the show originated from the book titled Sweetpea by author C.J. Skuse. Interestingly, the Purnell series has yet to delve into events from the initial novel itself, as Swain highlighted to the media outlet.

She mentioned that the initial season serves as a sort of prequel to the book, implying there’s a lot more content if they produce a second season. Reading the summary of the first story on GoodReads will help you understand her point. Interestingly, there are actually five books in total! Just as Swain stated, there’s certainly an abundance of material for inspiration and numerous additional stories to adapt.

The final act concluded with several significant plot twists: Julia disappeared without a trace, having booked an unspecified flight using her debit card after leaving Rhiannon. Her actions were somewhat predictable. Additionally, it remains undisclosed that only Marina is aware of Rhiannon’s involvement in the murders, potentially putting herself at risk by holding this secret.

And the biggest shocker of all – Rhiannon’s sister walks into the house as she’s holding AJ’s body to her. How is she going to get out of this one? Is Rhiannon capable of killing her own sister? So many questions we still have!

All six episodes of Sweetpea are now streaming on Starz.
