HBO's 'Sharp Objects' won't return for season 2 because of its 'very dark material'

HBO boss Casey Bloys revealed that unlike 'Big Little Lies' where all of the stars wanted to come back, 'Sharp Objects' Amy Adams did not want to live the character again

Disappointing news for 'Sharp Objects' fans - HBO will not be bringing back the nail-biting thriller for a second season. HBO president of programming Casey Bloys told Deadline during TCA that the content of the show is too dark for another season. Comparing the show to 'Big Little Lies' he said, "Unlike 'Big Little Lies' where all of the stars wanted to come back, 'Sharp Objects', it’s a very dark character, very dark material. Amy doesn’t want to live in this character again and I can’t blame her, it’s a lot to take on for an actress. So no plans for a second season. We are very happy with this living as a limited series."
