LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Kurc family's struggle for survival amid the horrors of World War II has concluded in Hulu's 'We Were the Lucky Ones,' leaving viewers wondering about the series' future. 

Based on the real story of a Jewish family chronicled in Georgia Hunter's book of the same name, the series stars Joey King, Logan Lerman, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Amit Rahav, Hadas Yaron, Lior Ashkenazi, and Robin Weigert.

The six-episode series concludes on an emotional note, with the Kurc family, who were scattered across the globe at the start of the war, finally reuniting in a touching gathering filled with tears and joy.

Is Season 2 of 'We Were the Lucky Ones' in the works?

The show, based on Georgia Hunter's book of the same title, was initially planned as a miniseries.

By the end of the show, the characters come together in a heartfelt reunion, finally bringing an end to their challenging predicament.

Moreover, since the contents of the series' source material have been fully explored within the first season, the likelihood of a sequel to the show appears improbable.

Furthermore, neither Hulu nor any of the stars in the miniseries have provided official confirmation about the future of the series.

However, this doesn't rule out the possibility of a second season. While a sequel wasn't initially in the works, the series' critical acclaim, widespread appeal, and devoted fan base could pave the way for one.

What to expect from 'We Were the Lucky Ones' season 2?

The second season of the show could delve even deeper into the lives of the Kurcs as they strive to move beyond the atrocities of war, grappling with lasting wounds and emotional anguish.

In addition, it would be fascinating to explore a fresh narrative following a different Jewish family, akin to the Kurcs, as they confront the looming threat of execution and strive for survival.

Perhaps, Anne Frank's poignant survival story with her family could serve as the foundation for Season 2.

Overall, transforming the show into a season-based series, with each season recounting the real story of World War II and shedding light on the atrocities committed against the Jewish people, is an incredible concept.
