What will season 2 of 'Obsession' be about?

As the erotic mini-series concluded with an open ending, there are several unanswered questions and plotlines left to be explored. For instance, Ingrid gets frustrated with William over the death of their son Jay. This makes Ingrid furious and she leaves William. The life of Ingrid after her split from William can be explored, where Ingrid focuses on her career and takes care of her daughter Sally while living with her father Edward. Sally's love life has been only teased in the series, leaving room to explore that storyline as well. On the other hand, Anna is now seeing a therapist to work through her past trauma. However, the final shot of the series hinted that Anna is about to repeat her old, destructive ways. The future of Anna is still left to be explored. Last, but not the least, the arc of William is also not yet completed. William is now a man who lost his loving family, his reputation and Anna. William is still obsessed with Anna and badly wants to be with her. On the other hand, the state of his career is also yet to be known.
