Netflix’s His and Hers has easily been Netflix’s biggest success story of 2026, albeit there isn’t much competition in a single month. Still though, in the larger context of its offerings, a series that stays at #1 on its Top 10 list for almost three weeks is a significant achievement, one you do not see all that often.
Now, it’s been bumped down to #2. Yes, it’s from WWE RAW, but it’s still something given that His and Hers survived two weeks before this. When RAW goes away, it seems somewhat likely that His and Hers will return to the top.
It is unlikely that, as a miniseries, His and Hers will return for a second season, given how conclusively it wraps up. It’s also based on a book with no sequel. Though season 2 has been at least discussed, and here’s executive producer William Oldroyd (spoilers):
“The question I have is, ‘Where do you pick it up from? Do you pick it up straight from where you’ve just left off? What does she do with this information? Or do we just move on?’ For me, it’s like, ‘Do you want to see what she does with that information, or do you want to just start from a position which is further down the line and she’s sitting with it, and it’s still there, and she knows the truth, see how it plays out with her relationship with her mother after that?’”
So, that’s an idea, which suggests season 2 is being considered. Jon Bernthal is a busy guy, but his biggest roles, including three different stints in MCU projects as The Punisher, are done filming, as is his role in Chris Nolan’s The Odyssey. Tessa Thompson has attracted a lot of praise for her role in last year’s Hedda. She is reportedly going to be in a Creed sequel in a supporting role. But both of them may want to consider returning to what is probably going to be one of Netflix’s bigger hits of the year, and in turn, one of the most-watched shows in the country.
All this said, it is often very hard to convince everyone involved with something like this to come back for more when more was never planned. It takes a limited series that’s a different level of hit to make that happen, which is what we’ve seen with shows like Shogun or Adolescence. Can that extend to His and Hers? If the producer is forming ideas and Netflix is looking at its rock-solid placement on its charts, it’s possible things start leaning in that direction.
