Did Steve really just do *that*? If you’ve watched the latest whirlwind drama unfolding on Disney+, then you’ll know exactly the shocker we’re talking about. *Alice and Steve*, the series that slaps a brightly coloured sticky note directly onto the battleground of family, friendship, and unexpected love, has just delivered its first season finale with plenty of commotion and emotion. But for fans biting their nails, the real question is: are we going to get a season two? Let’s dive into the kerfuffle.
Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement star as Alice and Steve, the dynamo duo at the heart of this emotional rollercoaster. Their friendship, spanning decades, is suddenly put to the ultimate test when Steve reveals to Alice his utterly mind-boggling secret: he’s romantically involved with Alice’s daughter, Izzy, who, at 26, is a whole 30 years his junior. Izzy, portrayed by the talented Yali Topol Margalith, has known Steve her entire life, which adds even more drama to this audacious love triangle.
The series tackles the touchy question of whether Izzy should follow her heart—or heed her mother’s anguish and societal norms. The moral conundrum grips viewers, taking them on an emotional six-episode journey where allegiances shift faster than a soap opera plot twist. It’s the kind of storytelling that leaves you clutching your remote, wanting more.
Now, as for season two, Disney+ hasn’t given us the green light yet. And the waiting game can feel longer than a month of Sundays. But there’s hope, dear readers. The brains behind the mayhem, creator Sophie Goodhart, isn’t just tossing ideas into the void. She’s expressed her firm desire to continue the story, hinging somewhat on the series’ popularity. Goodhart chatted with the Radio Times and shared, rather tantalisingly, that if a second season gets the nod, it would follow a carefully crafted path she’s already envisioned.
In the Radio Times Writers’ Room, Goodhart let slip that she envisions the show wrapping up after a second season, if it comes to pass. “I’m not sure there’d be more than that,” she mused. It seems she’s got a master plan tucked away, just waiting for the backing of Disney+ powers-that-be.
For now, fans of *Alice and Steve* are left with bated breath, still dissecting the drama that unfolded faster than you can say “skip intro”. If you’re one of the many who were left gobsmacked at that cliffhanger, you’re not alone. The series crafts an intoxicating blend of humour, heartache, and scandal. Will Alice ever come to grips with Steve’s controversial love life? And how will Izzy navigate the choppy waters between her boyfriend and her mother? It’s the unresolved drama that keeps us on the edge of our seats.
All we can do in the meantime is wait for Disney+ to tip the scales and tune into any updates that trickle down the grapevine. With Goodhart’s enthusiasm and the show’s compelling storyline, here’s hoping we’ll soon be booking a one-way ticket back into the delightful chaos of Alice and Steve’s world. Keep your popcorn ready, folks; we’re far from done here.
