‘Malice’ Season 2? Stars & Boss Detail What Could Be Next for Adam, Nat & More
What To Know
- The creator and cast of Malice express interest in a second season of the Prime Video thriller.
- Loose ends remain from Season 1, including a storyline that could see Nat and Jules team up to go after Adam — something which both Carice van Houten and Christine Adams are all for.
- Jack Whitehall has a comedic take on what could be next for his character.
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Malice Season 1.]
Given the way that Malice ended its first season, it feels like there has to be a second. The series has yet to be renewed, but what could one look like?
The first season followed Adam (Jack Whitehall), who insinuated himself into the Tanner family’s lives, all to get revenge against Jamie (David Duchovny) for the role he felt he played in his parents’ deaths. He not only made Jamie suffer, but he also ultimately killed him. The finale ended with Adam leaving Greece behind. Will we see what’s next?
“I hope there will be [a second season],” creator James Wood tells TV Insider.
He also has an idea of what we could see with Adam, should the series continue. “Due to the childhood misery he suffered, we wanted to explore a second family to do with his mother,” Wood continues. “We’ve explored why his father not only died by suicide but killed his mother, but I also think there’s a great story to be done about — for a very different family in a very different location who Jack also blames for his miserable childhood.”

Whitehall interjects with his own suggestion: “I think we should do a second season where I go and start working for another family, but this time I’m great. I don’t do anything nasty, and I’m just a really good manny, and I’ve learned from my mistakes. I just cook, I clean, I help with the kids. I’m lovely.”
Wood jokes, “That sounds gripping.”
Adds Whitehall, “And we make it as a studio sitcom.” Both suggest having a dog, but we don’t know if we’d trust Adam around dogs considering he killed Jamie’s. They agree.
There are still loose ends, like how Jamie’s wife Nat (Carice van Houten) will react to Adam killing her husband — as van Houten tells us, she knew when she heard the sirens — as well as Jules (Christine Adams) having to find out that he also murdered her husband, Damien (Raza Jaffrey), who was the one to do a deep dive into his life.
Both Duchovny and Jaffrey have ruled out a return in a second season — unless it’s “in flashbacks or as a ghost of some kind,” Duchovny jokes. “What am I, at the bottom of the river Thames still having an opinion?” Jaffrey quips.
Both van Houten and Adams are all for their characters teaming up to go after Adam. “I wouldn’t just sit down and do nothing,” says van Houten. “I’ll happily do a Thelma and Louise with Christine — with songs, [with] the kids, sort of Little Miss Sunshine goes Malice.”

Adams, too, wants to see the women as a “dynamic duo.” (Jaffrey suggests like a Cagney and Lacey.)
“Chase him down and go on some wild good chase,” she says. “I’m sure he will be onto his next thing. He’s clearly a very troubled person, and I don’t think this is just about revenge on this person. I think this is a pathology that he has.” She agrees that they’d get something done — “while looking fabulous, obviously.”

I had to leave the room when he was about to poison Jamie’s dog! I hate scenes like that! Unnecessary I thought.
-
B
He only gave it a bit of poisoned meat and then the dog led down and went to sleep. Breaking the kittens neck and gutting it with a knife was far more extreme than that

Not without David Duchovney.

I would love to see a Season 2 and see the women shake Adam's world.
-
G
I want season 2 but I want jamie to be alive! Love david

Indeed another season has to be. We need to have justice for these families who's lives this man destroyed. The tragic ending left too many unanswered questions and felt terribly unfinished.
-
R
I want to know the things that you didn’t see about the characters left!
-
J
Please, oh pretty please come back Adam and Nat, Jules and the rest of the cast… there’s so much more to tell.
-
L
There is a definite NEED for a second final season with the killer finally brought to justice.
-
O
Obviously we need a season 2 and some Justice is needed. Please make it happen 🙏
-
S
Come on David. I really enjoyed you in the season one. Please think again and dune season 2
-
S
Season 2 has to come about !!
Don't just leave us hanging. That's so rude. I enjoyed this season so much and I can't believe there may not be a season 2. Very upset!
-
S
Definitely need a Second Season!
-
G
Jamie could be in a coma for a bit after surviving the shot. People do survive shootings like that. All the cast were great, but it wouldn't be the same without David.
-
J
Malice was great! Please do a 2nd series!
-
P
He was 'caught' in a way...at the very beginning he was in a room with airport security in USA after he was flagged at passport control, before it flashed back. Wether he talks his way out of it is another thing 🤔

S
Yes a second season please! I think all the ladies team up, or the son and daughter grow up and goes after them. Or just the son of David grow up and gets revenge. Or they help plan and implement the plan with the ladies.
So many ideas.
-
T
Omg!, yes a season 2!, you can't just leave the ending like that!, too many questions and holes!... heck ya, a season 2 plzzz:)
-
G
Yes, season2. Catch Adam, integrate his sister more. Death to Adam by the Tanner women in self defense with a minor role of the elder tanner boy. The Tanner young boy, psychologically scarred for season 3 & befriended by Adam’s sister who all help to heal the families & series ends.
