'The Time Traveler's Wife' Episode 6 Finale: Will there be Season 2? Fans implore HBO for sequel

At the time of writing, there was no renewal update from HBO for a new season, but social media was abuzz with fans asking for a Season 2

'The Time Traveler's Wife' ended its six-episode run on HBO, but the future of the limited series was a topic of discussion. Starring Theo James and Rose Leslie in lead roles, the romance drama based on Audrey Niffenegger's book of the same name follows Henry DeTamble and Rose Leslie's journey as husband and wife in a series centered around the former's ability to travel time due to a rare genetic disorder.

The season finale, episode 6 focused on the wedding and the future of the duo. Clare ends up marrying the older Henry who travels back in time, while the younger Henry has a heartfelt conversation with the future Clare about the journey after they get married. While the future looks grim for Henry, he at least leaves Clare with a child — something the older version fails to do after getting a vasectomy done leading to a strained relationship. As the series ended, the buzz on social media was all about the possibility of a Season 2, and we take a look at the idea and what the show's fans had to say.

Will there be a 'The Time Traveler's Wife' Season 2?

At the time of writing, there was no renewal update from HBO for a new season of 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. Per TV Line, executive producer/writer Steven Moffat felt he had an idea about how many seasons he had initially planned. “I had a plan about how many seasons we’d do — not telling you! — and where each one would end and how far you’d take it,” he told the site.

"There is enough juice in the book for more than just one [season]. But at the same time, I would still call it a limited series because it can’t go on forever. It has to stop. We already know a fair bit about how it ends. By Episode 3, you know he’s going to get shot in a forest. You know he’s going to lose his feet at some point. So it’s a story of destiny, I guess. The end is built into the beginning."

Moffat's thoughts don't necessarily leave the door open as he pretty much tells the ending of the story. So it remains to be seen if HBO does indeed give a thumbs-up for a new season, even if it doesn't, the ending pretty much gives the audience of what would happen even if there was a sequel or two.
