Netflix has not confirmed if The Woman in the House will return for another season. The Woman in the House is listed as a limited series. While audiences might find the murder storyline somewhat tantalizing to watch, will it carry into a season 2? Some critics believe despite the Netflix show being only eight episodes; it drawled on.
Accorsing to Entertainment Weekly, “There’s no doubt that the showrunners want Woman to be a parody, but the humor is oddly toothless — and satire without a point of view is like a casserole with no crunch.” Netflix will have to wait and see how well audiences react to Kristen Bell’s murder story to decide if it is worth a renewal.
The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window is available to stream on Netflix.
