Firefly Lane Season 2 Plot: What Will be the Plot of the Firefly Lane Sequel?
The ending of Firefly Lane season 1 left fans and viewers with many questions that left them eager for season 2.
You can watch the recap of the first season here:
We may see Tully and Kate's friendship go through the hardest challenge yet when a confrontation takes place at a funeral where Tully came to pay her respects. The funeral may be for someone Kate holds dear, which could be Johnny, who left for Iraq and was injured, or for Kate's father.
Season 2 may also show us where Tully's career goes, which may include whether or not she offers Kate a job. We may also see more of Tully's mother, Cloud, who only took fleeting participation in Tully's life.
Firefly Lane season 2 will still be based on the novel by Kristin Hannah, which still leaves much to be covered. If season 2 follows the story of the book, we should get our tissues ready because it will be a sure tear-jerker.
