A twist on regular reality TV shows, Love in Fairhope did not take the OTT platform Hulu by storm. However, to call this Heather Graham narrated blend of reality and soap-style scripted drama a flop would also be an understatement. That is why viewers all around the world, especially the cult following the show garnered in its first season are eagerly waiting to see if the show gets a second season.
The show premiered fairly recently on September 27, 2023, and has been a unique take on reality TV series, executive produced by Reese Witherspoon. The story follows the love life of five ladies in Fairhope, Alabama where they go on dates and see what Cupid has in store for them.
While talking about the show to USA Today creator Lauren Weber opens up and says that she longs to redefine drama in reality TV shows. She wants her show to be unique and rooted in emotion instead of glass-breaking drama.
The show does not restrict itself to dating and finding love as the bond between the women and their families behind the scene are also touched upon and explored. With so much going on, naturally, fans are eager to see what’s in store for the show’s future.
Unless a show is an absolute blockbuster it is hard to say this early whether the show will be renewed for a next season. Many face colossal failure and criticism to get cancelled early on.
A huge example of that would be The Idol, which was one of the most star-studded and expensive shows of 2023 and yet managed to get cancelled only a season later. Love in Fairhope had a pretty successful run for a small show.
However, Hulu, the streaming platform has not declared any announcement for a second season yet.
Love in Fairhope is set in the quaint coastal town of Fairhope, Alabama and the showrunners have done a beautiful job in bringing out the beauty of the natural landscape and the people in it. The showrunners leveraged the calm and peace that the community of Fairhope has to offer which only managed to give them extra brownie points.
The official plot on IMDb says that the show is about five generations of women in a town where everybody knows each other’s business. However, nobody is aware of where the whirlwind of love, hopeless passion, and desire will lead them all.
What sets it apart is that unlike other reality TV shows drama is not the central part of Love in Fairhope, rather finding that “rom-com-true-love” is. It gives you a fantasy to latch onto, to live on.
So, even though, it is not a show like, for example, Squid Game, where the adrenaline rush would keep the audience coming back, it has the possibility to grow gradually as time goes on.
There are many storylines that left loose ends and fans of the show would definitely love to see where it ends up. Be it the journey and the tension building up between Mya Jo Williams and Nick Defilippi with their will-they-won’t-they storyline or the story of Abby Mannich, Ben Whiteside, and Trevor Chunn and how the Bermuda Triangle of love will pan out, there is a lot of material for another season or two.
Not just that, LaShoundra Young’s relationship with her former husband along with her pregnancy is something that has kept the audience on their toes. All in all the audience can expect all the former cast members to likely return if there is a second season.
According to reports, The Kardashians and The Bachelors are two shows that are being renewed by Hulu. It seems to be a trend with Hulu, Netflix, and other OTTs to focus on reality shows as they offer great returns in viewership and money for little investment. So the chances of Love in Fairhope getting a second season also seem very likely.
All the episodes of Love in Fairhope season 1 are available to watch on Hulu and Disney so the fans can savour them before the next season drops.
