Why fans shouldn’t raise their expectations for Fellow Travelers season 2

As of now, there's no news regarding Fellow Travelers season 2, either from the showrunners or the cast members of the series.

However, given that the series completely adapted the original book of the same name by Thomas Mallon and remained loyal to the source material, Fellow Travelers season 2 will not be in the cards.

As witnessed in the grand finale, Tim had the toughest battle with AIDS, and despite his deteriorating health, he continued his fight for the cause to bring change. Unfortunately, Tim didn’t survive long and eventually met his ultimate fate.

Given the historical romance political miniseries has reached its conclusion, the expectations of its renewal are extremely thin.

Furthermore, the series tied up all loose ends, leaving no room for even a potential spin-off, showcasing the unresolved plotholes.

Despite Fellow Travelers season 2 not being in the picture, Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer have disclosed to work together on a new project sometime.

During the interview with Max Gao, Matt Bomer revealed that he’d absolutely love the opportunity to work with Jonathan again sometime. Here’s what Matt had to say:

Listen, sign me up to work with Jonathan Bailey anytime. I will bring a tray to his character at the dinner table, honestly! Next time, I have to be British, though.

Currently, there are no known projects involving the two actors in yet another romantic role in the lineup.

However, given how their chemistry has wooed the audience, fans can expect a whole other TV series/movie in the future.
