Season 1 of Dear Child premiered on Netflix on September 7, 2023. The first season consists of six episodes, each of which lasts around 50 minutes. On the same day, every episode of season 1 was made available on the streaming platform.
Critics gave the show mostly positive reviews and praised the actors’ performances and the series’ atmospheric thriller elements. However, the fact that Netflix has labeled the series as a mini-series will likely disappoint those hoping for a second season of the show. This will make it less likely to be renewed.
In the unlikely event that the show draws more viewers than Netflix anticipates, a new season might be ordered. Despite Netflix presenting the first season as a miniseries, a second season may be approved if the show is able to attract a sizable audience from all over the world and engage viewers.
The creators may adopt an anthology strategy for a potential second season by concentrating on a totally different case that is just as puzzling, dark, and evil as the first one.
After all, the show is a criminal thriller with a mystery and suspenseful investigative edge. The series might thus be continued in an anthology format from scratch with a gripping new story. Therefore, it seems unlikely that any of the primary cast members from season 1 would return for season 2, assuming it happens at all.
