Is ‘The Gray House’ Coming Back for Season 2?

For most of the main characters of The Gray House, things came to a decisive end in the eight-episode series’ final moments. In the finale, we saw what became of the Van Lews, their associates, and many of their enemies as a result of their secret spy ring operation.

As conclusive as it was for some, though, there was still a lot of room for more of the true story to be told.

So is the show returning for a second season to continue the Civil War-era drama? Here’s what we know so far.

Beware that spoilers for The Gray House are ahead.

Has The Gray House been renewed for Season 2?

No. The Gray House was presented as a miniseries by Prime Video, which means there are no current plans to produce a second season. However, never say never. Sometimes, limited series and miniseries are popular enough that a second season is ordered anyway, so it’s not altogether out of the question. For now, though, Prime Video has not announced any such plans.

Who would star in The Gray House Season 2?

It’s unclear which, if any, of the original cast members from The Gray House would return for Season 2. There were several who survived the deadly clashes at the end, and their fates were left unknown. Rob Morrow‘s Judah Benjamin, for example, was last seen leaving Richmond on a train and reeling from the fact that Clara Parish (Hannah James) never made it there to be with him. The same was true for Christopher McDonald‘s Thomas McNiven, a historical figure who would go on to author many of the source materials for this series.

Plus, Sam Trammell‘s Jefferson Davis was soundly defeated by the Union army, which means his term as the president of the Confederacy is coming to a premature end, though we don’t get to see that.

Perhaps the most ominous open end, though, is the shot of Charles Craddock as John Wilkes Booth, overseeing the triumphant arrival of President Abraham Lincoln (Don Mullen) into town after the Union’s sack of the city. Even those with the loosest grasp on this point in history will know how that will eventually end, though we don’t get to see it in the finale. Possibly, if a second season were to happen, that plot point would be followed up on, bringing back those actors. But again, it’s not in the works at this time.
