What is the Firefly Lane season 2 release date out? Netflix original, Firefly Lane, had viewers avidly watching the relationship between two best friends over 30 years, Tully and Kate, when season 1 came out in 2021. Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy and Sarah Chalke of Scrubs leave the medical world behind to play the leading roles in this bestie drama.
The TV series‘ unique premise is that it hops between the timeline, spanning the highs and lows of their friendship as they grow up through the decades, starting in the ’70s. Through work life, home life, motherhood, and the struggles of being a teenager, there’s a lot to explore, and it seems Firefly Lane is just getting started.
According to Netflix, 49 million users streamed the Netflix series in the first month after release, so it should really come as no surprise that we’re here to talk about season 2. Firefly Lane strikes a balance between heart-warming and heart wrenching as the show explores Tully and Kate’s triumphs and turmoils with their lives so intertwined. So, here’s everything we know about the Firefly Lane season 2 release date.
Firefly Lane season 2 release date
Firefly season 2 will be released on December 2, 2022. Or at least the first half will be. Ye, Netflix is doing their favourite trick and splitting this new season in half. The second part is expected to follow in early 2023.
Firefly Lane season 2 plot speculation
Firefly Lane is based on a novel of the same name by author Kristin Hannah. Season 1 weaved through the novel with some yet to go, so season 2 should pick up where the show left off last time and work through the rest of the novel.
The season 1 finale left viewers with A LOT of unanswered questions. What did Tully do? What happened to Johnny? We’ve seen Johnny get badly injured, Tully quit her job, and present date Tully and Kate are clearly not on good terms. Firefly Lane girls forever… or maybe not…

It seems a lot of people want the answer, with Google’s top searches being “Why are they no longer friends on Firefly Lane?” and “Why did Tully and Kate fall out?” Unfortunately, Google doesn’t have the answers. Still, during the season 2 announcement video, Sarah Chalke gave viewers a little hint, “So, this issue between Tully and Kate, we can’t say much, but we can say that it’s family-related and it has nothing to do with Johnny.”
Speaking to EW, showrunner Maggie Freidman spoke about what viewers can expect from season 2, “They’re only in eighth grade when we leave them. They’ll have a lot of good teen years and fun ’70s growing-up times with the great music and the fashions and all of the cultural changes. I think it’s just really interesting.”
Firefly Lane season 2 cast speculation
As you might have guessed by now, both Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke will be returning for Firefly Lane season 2. It’s also expected that the rest of the main cast members will also be reprising their roles, although with Bud’s (Paul McGillion) funeral in the season finale and Johnny (Ben Lawson) badly injured, we’ll have to wait and see in what capacity.
It’s a show with lots of flashbacks, though, so there’s always room for characters to pop up in Tully and Kate’s timeline. We can also be quietly confident that we’ll see Roan Curtis and Ali Skovbye returning as young Kate and young Tully, respectively.
