The Better Sister Season 2: Has Prime Video renewed the show? Here's what you can expect
The gripping narrative of The Better Sister , which recently concluded its run on Prime Video, has left viewers with more questions than answers—chief among them: Will there be a Season 2? Though the murder at the heart of the plot has been resolved, audiences are still eager to see what lies ahead for the central characters, particularly the complex relationship between sisters Chloe and Nicky. No Official Renewal Yet for The Better Sister Season 2 Despite the buzz, Amazon's Prime Video has not announced a renewal for The Better Sister Season 2. The psychological thriller, adapted from the standalone novel by bestselling author Alafair Burke, was originally billed as a limited series, indicating that it was conceived as a one-season narrative, as mentioned in a report by Decider. Given that the source material does not have a sequel, and considering Prime Video's tendency to cap some of its dramatic titles at a single installment, the likelihood of a continuation appears slim at this stage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo However, given the streaming platform's growing appetite for returning series and the show's popularity, fans continue to hope for a creative expansion. Season 1 Ends With a Shocking Twist The finale of The Better Sister delivered a dramatic revelation that Nicky (played by Elizabeth Banks) was responsible for the murder of her ex-husband Adam (Corey Stoll). The climactic episode reveals that Nicky acted in self-defense during a heated confrontation, where she stabbed Adam after years of abuse and manipulation. Live Events In a twist of loyalty and cunning, Chloe (portrayed by Jessica Biel) helps cover up her sister's actions by framing Adam's employer, Bill Braddock (Matthew Modine), who was implicated in a human trafficking scheme. Chloe plants the murder weapon in his office and tips off the FBI, thereby redirecting suspicion and ensuring his arrest. Total Episode Count and Premiere Details The debut season of The Better Sister consists of eight tightly paced episodes, each with a runtime of approximately one hour. The series premiered on May 29, with all episodes released simultaneously for binge-watching. The show swiftly gained attention for its layered storytelling, compelling performances, and moral ambiguity, sparking discussions on social media and drawing praise for its exploration of familial loyalty under pressure. Stellar Ensemble Cast Shines in Dark Thriller In addition to Biel, Banks, Modine, and Stoll, the series also features Maxwell Acee Donovan as Ethan, Nicky and Adam's son, Kim Dickens as the investigative Detective Nan Guidry, Gloria Reuben as attorney Michelle Sander, Gabriel Sloyer as Jake Rodriguez, and Bobby Naderi as Detective Matt Bowen, as per a report by Decider. Their collective performances contribute to the show's tense atmosphere, blending personal trauma with legal drama in a narrative that leaves viewers on edge. Streaming Now: All Episodes on Prime Video Though the fate of The Better Sister Season 2 remains unconfirmed, the show continues to draw new viewers. With all episodes now available on Prime Video, those curious about the morally complex decisions of Chloe and Nicky can catch the full story on demand. For now, fans must wait and watch whether Prime Video opts to revisit this world, or leave its chilling conclusion untouched. FAQs Has The Better Sister been renewed for Season 2? No. As of now, Amazon Prime Video has not announced a renewal. The show was originally promoted as a limited series. Is The Better Sister based on a book? Yes. The series is based on the standalone novel by bestselling author Alafair Burke. The book does not have a sequel.

Netflix's new revenge thriller show has already crashed into the top 10 — but it has viewers divided
Netflix's new revenge thriller has managed to break into the platform's top 10, though it probably hasn't received the reaction the streaming service might have hoped for. The series in question is 'Bet,' a new live-action adaptation of Homura Kawamoto and Toru Naomura's popular manga 'Kakegurui,' which has already been adapted as an anime and a Japanese live-action series in the past. Created by 'Warrior Nun's' Simon Barry, the show is, in Barry's words, "something 'birthed' from the source material that inspired a new take — one that pays homage to it and doesn't try to replace it', and a project attempting to tap into the original's 'tone, audaciousness, and fun.' When Netflix dropped the "Bet" trailer last month, it'd be fair to say it was met with a healthy amount of skepticism, though there are clearly some curious viewers checking it out. Despite splitting opinions in early reviews, "Bet" has managed to claim the number 10 spot in Netflix's top 10 shows chart. If you're planning on checking it out, you can find more info about the new Netflix series and a quick round-up of what the streaming public has to say about 'Bet' below. The series follows Yumeko (Miku Martineau), a mysterious transfer student with an unbeatable poker face. She's starting out at St. Dominic's Prep, an elite private academy where the children of some of the most powerful people learn how to rule the world. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The school's status quo is dictated by underground gambling, and the top players get to sit on the Student Council. Yumeko's gambling skills put her in the crosshairs of that same Council, but her secret quest for revenge threatens to turn the school on its head entirely. In addition to Martineau, 'Bet' also stars Ayo Solanke, Eve Edwards, Clara Alexandrova, Hunter Cardinal, Anwen O'Driscoll, Aviva Mongillo, Ryan Sutherland, Dorian Giordano, Laura Afelskie, and Emma Elle Paterson. Opinions on "Bet" vary wildly, at present. Typically, we look to review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes for a steer on popular opinion on new releases, but right now, 'Bet' only has three accredited critics' reviews listed — but only one of those reviews is a positive take. Variety critic Aramide Tinubu said the series was 'repetitive and grows increasingly wearisome, offering new to the 'Kakegurui' fandom," offering this conclusion: 'Since the series is not quite faithful to the original manga, and the previous adaptations garnered such rave reviews, 'Bet' feels bland in comparison and completely unnecessary." At Decider, writer Joel Keller said the show is 'so busy being stylish that it forgets about the fact that there is a story that needs to be told," adding: 'there's nothing wrong with being a stylish show, but 'Bet's' concentration on style overwhelms any kind of substance, making the show a chore to watch'. However, Ready Steady Cut's Jonathan Wilson has offered a more positive spin on the series in his 3.5/5 review. 'Plenty about Bet doesn't work,' Wilson wrote, 'but it's so full of big swings and fun ideas that it's an easy, characterful binge-watch all the same.' While it doesn't have a critics rating, 'Bet' has at least earned a rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter. The score currently sits at 62%, drawn from fewer than 50 viewer scores. Viewer ratings on the platform oscillate wildly; I've seen more than one ½ star score and a reaction wherein a viewer called 'Bet' was 'an insult to the original anime.' On the flipside, you can find a fair few positive takes, too; there are several five-star reviews logged already, with one viewer calling it both 'a must-watch' and arguing that fans of the anime would 'definitely love this adaptation.' As with any new release, then, the best way to decide whether the new thriller deserves a spot on your watchlist is to stream 'Bet' on Netflix for yourself. You never know; this could be your favorite new watch. But if you're really not sold on 'Bet,' and now you're in between Netflix shows, we can still help you find your next watch.
