Will There Be A Smoke Season 2?
Smoke Is A Miniseries, But Apple TV+ May Continue It If It Proves Successful
Currently, it seems likeSmokewill end after just nine episodes.Smokewas billed as a miniseries, meaning its season 1 finale is also the series finale. That makes sense, given thatSmokeis inspired by a single true criminal, and the finale will presumably see the arsonist caught. There won’t be much left forSmoketo do once that happens.
However, ifSmokeproves to be a big hit, there’s always the chance that it could get renewed in some capacity. It wouldn’t be the first time Apple TV+ has extended a show that was billed as a miniseries: it happened withPresumed Innocent. Apple TV+ could easily turnSmokeinto an anthology, with a potential second season focusing on a new arsonist and new investigators.
