Mare of Easttown first landed on our screens back in April and has since become our latest TV obsession.

Starring Kate Winslet and Evan Peters, Mare of Easttown is a murder mystery drama centred around the death of Erin McMenamin, a local teen and single mother.

As well as exploring possible leads and serving up some truly wild plot twists, the popular HBO show is about small town life and Mare's (Winslet) complicated family history.

While she's determined to crack the case and identify Erin's killer, she's battling her own demons and mental health struggles, following the suicide of her son Kevin.

Will there be a second series of Mare of Easttown?

Despite its popularity, HBO has yet to confirm whether or not there will be a second season.

Winslet's IMDB page gives nothing away, either.

If there is another series, it's likely Mare will be working on a fresh case (without Colin Zabel, *sigh*).

We'd also like for the show to delve further into her past, to find out what really happened to her and her family.

Episode 6 airs on Monday at 9pm.
