“The South Westerlies” caught the attention of the audience with its blend of environmental intrigue, small-town dynamics, and personal complexities. With the success of the first season, the fans are now curious about the second season.
Orla Brady’s portrayal of Kate Ryan, an environmental consultant navigating the choppy waters of a wind farm project in her hometown of Carrigeen, resonated with its relatable struggles and heartwarming charm.
We still don’t have any official confirmation about South Westerlies Season 2 but we managed to bring together all the relevant information in this guide.
When is South Westerlies Season 2 Releasing?
The first season of South Westerlies premiered on September 12, 2020, and concluded on October 11, 2020, which explains why the fans are so hyped up about the show.
Acorn TV, which is responsible for distributing the show, hasn’t shared anything about the show’s renewal yet. Given that it’s been over three years now, the lack of information about the potential renewal and return has left a lot of the fans wondering if the show has been canceled.
However, we have to understand that the first season was a massive success and the viewership was also quite steady. So, for the showrunners and the network to cancel the show so abruptly without any warning doesn’t seem practical. At this point, it looks like we’d have to wait to see how things will pan out in the coming days.
There are high chances that the network will bring the show back and if things go right a 2025 or later release seems possible.
What can we expect from South Westerlies Season 2?
Now, with the lack of confirmation and official updates, it is pretty much impossible to understand what the show’s fate would be like. We don’t have any kind of understanding right now related to the show’s future, so it looks like things will be a little unexpected.
However, before we shed some light on the theories and speculations, one tip is for you to catch up with the first season. That’s a must. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to make better sense of how things could take shape in Season 2.
The show’s conclusion left viewers with several unanswered questions. Kate’s decision to remain silent about the pipeline discovery created a moral dilemma, sparking curiosity about its potential consequences.
Additionally, the budding romance between Kate and Michael offered a glimpse of a possible future, leaving fans yearning for further development. A second season could delve deeper into these themes, exploring the long-term effects of Kate’s decision, the fate of the wind farm project, and the possibility of a future for Kate and Michael.
Who is returning to South Westerlies Season 2?
The cast from the first season is expected to return in the sequel as well. Since every character holds a significant place in the show, it makes sense that the cast will most likely remain the same, including:
- Orla Brady as Kate Ryan
- Patrick Bergin as Michael O’Neill
- Eileen Walsh as Noreen Ryan
- Ger Ryan as Bernie O’Neill
- Ian McElhinney as Tom Hurley
