Last August, the latest addition to the library of Netflix documentary series, Worst Ex Ever, arrived. On its debut week, season 1 of the TV show landed on the top spot of the streaming platform with 8.3 million views. However, two weeks into September, the series has slipped into the third spot, while still registering relatively strong viewership. To get the latest updates about the anticipated follow-up season, here’s what you need to know about the release date and other rumored details about the show.
Worst Ex Ever Plot
From the creators of Worst Roommate Ever, Blumhouse, Worst Ex Ever is a true-crime documentary series that scrutinizes the dark side of romantic relationships through real-life testimonies. The spin-off depicts disturbing accounts of people enduring a life-and-death situation with their monstrous partners. Each episode documents extremely violent partners from information gathered through the stories of survivors, families, and the authorities.
Release Date
After only four episodes in the entire season 1 of the Worst Ex Ever, it has received positive feedback and reactions from critics and audiences — causing fans of the show to call for a second season. The reception is mostly driven by its favorable direction, pacing, and the stories. However, despite the good numbers and flattering reviews, Netflix has yet to announce a season 2 for the series.
On the brighter side, amidst the rampant cancellations or renewals of Netflix shows, Worst Ex Ever may still be on the lookout given how the show is set up. Plus, the streaming platform tends to provide leeway for true crime series because of the importance of completion rate and the expected high viewership brought by an established fanbase.
At the same time, the show presents possibilities that it follows the footsteps of its predecessor in the franchise, which had two successful seasons and is currently in production for upcoming installments. Likewise, the series is under the good hands of producer Cynthia Child, who has a reputation for maintaining long-running shows.
With the uncertainty still looming around the series, fans can expect a second season by the end of 2025 if Netflix ever gives it the green light.
Is Worst Ex Ever Based on True Events?
Yes, it is based on true stories and experiences of victims’ relationships that went wrong violently. Presented through reenactments and interviews, Worst Ex Ever tracks the rough lives of individuals after their literally most harmful relationships.
What could happen in Worst Ex Ever Season 2?
As of now, with barely any announcements to chew from Netflix and the production house, the audience can presume another 4 episodes discussing the cases in a more in-depth manner. Also, familiar dramatic moments and emotional confrontations that send chills down the spine of viewers could continue in a follow-up season.
