Possibility of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” Season 2

Series 1 of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” was a 7 part BBC miniseries that aired in May 2015 and ended in June 2015 with a total of 7 episodes. Although the seventh episode titled “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” was the penultimate episode of the series yet fans are demanding for a second season of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell”. This is because the first season was based on first two volumes of the novel trilogy of same name. Susanna Clarke who penned down the trilogy has stated that she working on sequels of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” novels. This means that there could be a whole new story and BBC would surely profit from Season 2 of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell”.

BBC have a good amount of content to cover and they can follow the ‘Game of thrones’ style where David Benioff and DB Weiss went on to produce season 6 (and now season 7) with the help of GRR Martin.
