Contains spoilers

If you're anything like us, you will have kicked off your spooky season watching by binging new show Sweetpea, and if you're also like us, you'll be wondering will the show be coming back for a season two?

Sweetpea is a six-part series based on CJ Skuse's novel series of the same name and stars Ella Purnell as Rhiannon, who initially appears to be a quiet mousy girl constantly ignored by those around her. However as the series goes on, Rhiannon finds a rather unusual (read: murderous) way to grow in confidence and make sure no one will ever ignore her again.

The series ended on a pretty big cliff-hanger, so will it be coming back for a second season? Here's what we know so far.

Has Sweetpea season 2 been confirmed?

As of yet there's been no word on whether Sweetpea would return for another series.

The series is based on CJ Skuse's novel series of the same name and so there is plenty of material the series could use to create future seasons.

What would happen in Sweetpea season 2?

Sweetpea season one ended on a major cliffhanger, with Rhiannon stabbing AJ to death after he discovers she is the murderer the police have been searching for, not Marcus as she and Julia had them believe.

As Rhiannon is hugging AJ's dying body, her sister Seren enters the house and there's no indication as to what happens next. Would Seren turn her sister in? Or would she help her cover up her crimes? Given what we know about Seren it's likely she'd call the police herself and get Rhiannon locked up for life.

A potential season two could explore what would happen after Seren enters the house. There's also the possibility Rhiannon would kill her sister too.

We also know Julia has jetted off to escape from Rhiannon by using her bank card, so maybe a second season could see Julia return and the pair face off again.

Who would be in Sweetpea season 2?

Depending on if the series were to return we'd expect Ella Purnell to reprise her role as Rhiannon, it literally wouldn't be the series without her afterall.

We'd also expect to see Alexandra Dowling return as Seren, Jon Pointing as Craig, Leah Harvey as Marina, and Jeremy Swift as Norman. We'd also hope that Nicôle Lecky would return as Julia.

Given how many characters were killed on screen this series there's a lot of people that wouldn't be able to come back including Calam Lynch as AJ, Dustin Demri-Burns as Jeff and Dino Kelly as Marcus.

Sweetpea is available on Sky and NOW
