What could happen in The Abandons season 2?
While we don’t know the details yet, season 2 of The Abandons would likely pick up where we left off, resolving that cliffhanger.
In season 1, we met the Van Nesses, headed by Constance, a wealthy mining family, and the Nolan tribe, headed by Fiona, an Irish immigrant with a troop of adopted orphans and outcasts. The two very different matriarchs began butting heads over a land dispute, but things turned really sour when Constance’s son, Willem, rapes Dahlia, one of Fiona’s adopted children. Dahlia and Fiona get their revenge by killing Willem and – well – Constance isn’t too pleased.
Meanwhile, the families are becoming more intertwined through various relationships between the kids. Eventually, true chaos breaks out when Fiona’s family sets fire to the Van Ness estate while Constance is inside. Things end with Fiona entering the house to finish the job herself. In the final moments, we see just one woman appear. Talk about the cliffhanger.
Season 2 would, hopefully, begin by clearing up the question of who survived the fire – and what happened when Fiona went in to confront Constance. And, chances are, the two families will be more at war than ever.
