"That was the plan to know how many episodes it was going to be done over so that the story could be told in its entirety. "Basically, the arc follows the storyline of the book, and then it also goes off into brand new directions as well." "Because we did Part 1 and Part 2, we had the number of episodes, this was always Maggie's decision to arc this storyline," Chalke told Variety.

I just want to make sure that we get there and don’t end on a cliffhanger and then something happens and we don’t complete it.' I wanted to make sure that I got to tell the full story." "Originally, season two was just going to be 10 episodes, but I was talking to one of the Netflix executives who’s been such a great champion of the show and said, 'I know where the end of the story is'," she told Glamour. However, showrunner Maggie Friedman simply wasn't prepared to risk that, so in order to ensure the story was told in its entirety, the decision to "supersize" season two was made. Some of the latest casualties include First Kill, Warrior Nun, The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself and Fate: The Winx Saga, just to name a few. It's no secret Netflix has a bad habit of cancelling shows with multiple threads left hanging. There's just something about these two women, this particular story, Sarah as a human being, and my love for the characters. "It was hard to stop the emotion because not every scene is supposed to be a weeping, sobbing, grief-stricken scene, but it was always right there at the forefront. It all felt so overwhelmingly real in a terrifying way because it was so heavy and heartbreaking. I also love Kate and Tully and their relationship. Heigl added: "I don't know if it was because I was so deeply in love with Sarah as a human being, and so much of Sarah informed Kate.
Because cancer and death have touched everyone, I hope we dealt with it in a way that rings true to people, and that feels good for them to watch." "It was physically and emotionally exhausting. It ended up being challenging but also a special experience. "I lost an aunt I was very close to when I was 24, and knowing that this part of the storyline was coming, there was a part of me that was wondering what this was going to feel like to shoot. "It was a really powerful experience," Chalke told Forbes of her final scenes. The final emotional kicker, however, was when Johnny handed a grieving Tully a box containing a few special mementoes from Kate after her death, including her finished book… titled Firefly Lane. If that wasn't heartbreaking enough, we get a touching flashforward scene of Marah on her wedding day and of Tully envisaging a conversation with her dead best friend over how proud they are of her.
When Tully learns of the news, she rushes back home to Kate's side and gives her old friend the support she needs before she passes away.
FIREFLY LANE NETFLIX SERIES
There’s no denying that more time in Tully and Kate’s world could never be a bad thing, but there's actually a good reason behind this decision.īecause the series is based on Kristin Hannah's novel of the same name, Kate’s terminal cancer diagnosis panned out on screen exactly as it did on page. Part two definitely had a wholesome, wrapped-up kind of feel despite the bittersweetness of it all. While it hurts, it’s not all too shocking. We know, we know, take a minute to let the pain of that realisation sink in. There won’t be another season to obsess over. However if you’re already here, scouting for the vain hope of a season three, that means you’ve already made it through and, sorry keen beans, that’s it from the dance-partying duo. The good news is you can now catch up with the remaining seven episodes of Firefly Lane, which reveal what this diagnosis meant for Kate and whether she and Tully ever repaired their friendship. Guess we'll just have to go back and rewatch from season one then.Alas, part one left us on yet another (even more devastating) cliffhanger, concluding with Kate turning up at Tully's apartment after learning that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer, only to discover that Tully had just left for a work trip in Antarctica.

So it looks like the TV series will be honouring the book's ending, and won't be continuing with the story with a third season. The show is based on Kristin Hannah's book of the same name, which ends with Kate's cancer diagnosis and eventual death. Netflix has unfortunately confirmed that season 2 is Firefly Lane's final season. Thankfully it's not all doom and gloom, as after 20 years of "will they, won't they" Tully and Danny finally said "I love you" to each other. "Obviously, I had some trepidation about shooting it.
"It was really beautifully written," she said. In an interview with Deadline, Chalke admitted that although she'd read the book and knew where things were going, she'd cried reading the final script.
