Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone say there “could” be a second season of Showtime’s The Curse.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Fielder and Stone discussed the ending to the first season of The Curse. Regarding why the series ended the way that it did, Fielder said, “Benny and I really want to make stuff that people can engage with. There’s the type of TV where you can sit on the couch and be on your phone half the time, which is fine. I watch that TV, too. But we wanted to try to make something where you have to engage with it to understand it and you’re feeling things when you’re watching it. It’s hard to talk about, too, because it’s a show where a story could potentially continue, so I don’t want to go fully into it.”
When asked if that means they plan to continue the series, Fielder noted that the team is “all doing other things” at the moment; however, Stone said “there could be” a second season.
“There definitely could be,” Fielder agreed. “From the start, we had it mapped out beyond the first season.”
Fielder and Stone didn’t divulge any more details beyond that and, when asked if Fielder’s Asher would return for The Curse Season 2, Fielder said, “I don’t want to spoil it.”
What is The Curse about?
“The Curse centers on Whitney and Asher Siegel, a newlywed couple struggling to bring their vision for eco-conscious housing to the small community of Española, New Mexico,” the series’ official synopsis reads. “But, their efforts are complicated when an eccentrically flawed reality TV producer, Dougie, sees opportunity in their story. As the series unfolds, the couple find themselves caught in a mysterious web of ethical and moral gray zones – all while trying to keep their relationship afloat.”
The Curse was created by Fielder and Benny Safdie, who plays Dougie. All ten episodes of The Curse are currently streaming on Showtime.
