At the end of the first season of The Essex Serpent, Stella passed peacefully into obscurity, leaving Will devastated. But there was also a glimpse of a varmint that looked like the snake. Many fans of the show took this as a hint for the show’s return with The Essex Serpent season 2. So let’s discuss what we know about the season.
The Essex Serpent, created by Anna Symon, is a period gothic horror drama series released on Apple Tv+ in May 2022. The show revolves around Cora, a wealthy widow from London, who moves to Essex to investigate rumors of a mystical snake.
Has The Essex Serpent Season 2 Been Renewed?
The first season of The Essex Serpent debuted on Apple TV+ on May 13, 2022 and the season concluded with the finale on June 10, 2022. Now, to all the fans eagerly awaiting Season 2 of The Essex Serpent, I just want to let you know that there has been no official announcement yet. The show features major Hollywood stars such as Tom Hiddleston, which is generally a positive indicator of a show’s future. And since Apple has been revamping so many shows lately, the chances of The Essex Serpent’s second season are pretty high, but we’ll have to wait.

The cast of The Essex Serpent stars with Tom Hiddleston as Will Ransome, Claire Danes as Cora Seaborne and Frank Dillane as Luke Garrett.

What happened to Naomi?
In the first season of the show, viewers were introduced to Naomi. She is the daughter of local fisherman Henry and the younger sister of Gracie. Naomi was devastated to learn that her sister was dead and her body had been found near the wetlands. This affected her, and Naomi was startled strangely.
She grew apart from her loved ones and friends. She was afraid that what happened to her sister would also happen to her. In addition, Naomi is accused by the school children of luring the snake into their community. While searching for Will, Naomi finally gives up and heads back home. However, Naomi is nowhere to be seen when Henry finally wakes up.
The locals started a search when they found out. But they found Crackness’s body instead of Naomi’s. But when Naomi leaves Cracknell’s home, the truth about her situation is finally revealed. Naomi was still alive and she hid in Cracknell’s house to escape the snake. She was eventually reunited with her father.
