The Girlfriend Season 2 Renewal Status Finally Revealed
The first season left viewers hanging with betrayals, cliffhangers, and unanswered questions.
Quick one for the folks asking about The Girlfriend before it even drops: no, Prime Video has not made a Season 2 call yet. Here is what is actually happening with the show and why you probably won’t hear anything definitive for a while.
Is The Girlfriend renewed or canceled?
Neither. Amazon’s Prime Video has not canceled it, and they haven’t renewed it either. The show hasn’t even premiered yet — it arrives September 10, 2025 — so we’re squarely in wait-and-see territory. As usual, Prime Video will look at the basics: how many people watch, how loudly they like it, whether the cast can come back, and so on. If it hits those internal benchmarks, a Season 2 is absolutely on the table.
What the show is about
The Girlfriend is a psychological thriller built around Laura, whose picture-perfect life wobbles when her son shows up with a new girlfriend named Cherry. Laura quickly starts side-eyeing Cherry, worried she’s a slick social climber who knows exactly what she’s doing. It’s based on the novel by Michelle Frances, so if you’ve read that, you know the kind of twisty, perspective-shifting drama you’re walking into.
How the series tells the story
Robin Wright not only stars as Laura — she also directed a few episodes. In an interview with TV Insider, she explained the show’s not-so-subtle trick: each episode plays with how different characters interpret the same moment. That Rashomon-style approach is a big part of the hook.
'It is the way different people perceive the way someone said this line. Maybe it was a statement and not a question, but it was a question to the other person. We were playing with that so much of the time so that you could see the scene in a different way, the way somebody else perceived it. And then you choose as an audience member what to believe.'
Who is in it
Alongside Robin Wright, the cast includes Olivia Cooke, Laurie Davidson, Anna Chancellor, Francesca Corney, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Karen Henthorn, Leo Suter, and Tanya Moodie.
The bottom line
The Girlfriend premieres September 10, 2025 on Prime Video. No Season 2 decision yet. If the numbers and response are strong — and the cast is available — a renewal would not be surprising. Until then, file this under: hurry up and wait.
