Mr. Mercedes Season 2 and 3?
David E. Kelley has confirmed a three-season plan for Mr. Mercedes, which will see each season cover a book in the novel series, per THR:
The master plan, which of course is always subject to change, is each book would represent a whole season, and Mr. Mercedes is the first season. Then we’ll turn to season two and the second book, but we haven’t congregated as a writing group yet and begun to kick around stories for year two so it’s premature to say anything beyond that. But the concept, in success, is we would do each book as an entire season of 10 episodes.
Kelley confirms that the initial plan is for Mr. Mercedes to run three seasons, though in success the AT&T Audience drama could survive into Season 4 and beyond:
Yes, initially, though in success it could go on beyond that. That’s everybody’s plan isn’t it? You keep going and going and you keep finding more new stories. But going into this, the idea is that we have three books and in success it would make for three seasons and then, who knows? Maybe longer if we’re having fun.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Mr. Mercedes Season 4…
