Apples Never Fall Season 2 Chances Get Definitive Response From Creator

Apples Never Fall creator Melanie Marnich shares a definitive response regarding a potential season 2. Releasing on March 14 on Peacock, Apples Never Fall serves as an adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s 2021 novel of the same name. The show follows the Delaney family as they investigate their troubled family history following Joy’s (Annette Bening) shocking disappearance.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Marnich reveals that she has no plans of making Apples Never Fall season 2. Check out her full comment below:

“I felt it when I read the book” that there was no need for a second season. It feels like the story is quite fulsome and fully told. I think the Delaneys had their journey, and it was a doozy [and] it reached its very powerful conclusion.”

How Has Apples Never Fall Been Received So Far?

All 7 episodes of Apples Never Fall were released on Peacock on March 14, with critics and audiences alike soon after taking to the Internet to share their thoughts on the new mystery series. Unfortunately, most of the Apples Never Fall reviews have not been glowing, and the show currently has a lackluster 43% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Rotten Tomatoes audience score for the series is marginally better at 47%, and the IMDb user score is fairly respectable at 7.1 out of 10.

The Apples Never Fall cast, however, is frequently mentioned as a high point in the reviews. The show boasts the acting talents of stars like Annette Bening, Sam Neill, Alison Brie, Jake Lacy, Connor Merrigan Turner, Georgia Flood, and Jeanine Serralles, among others. See a chart of the cast and their respective characters below:

Despite the strength of the cast, reviews suggest that the story and mystery at the heart of the show ultimately isn’t as compelling as it ought to be. It’s currently unclear how well the show is performing in terms of its viewership, but that is the metric that will likely mean the most to Peacock. As was recently seen with Fool Me Once on Netflix, shows with poor reviews can sometimes still become very popular. In any case, though, it doesn’t seem like audiences should expect more Apples Never Fall, regardless of how popular it might be.
