Four years later, Netflix finally circles back to The Watcher. The horror-mystery show, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, debuted on the streamer in October 2022 and was renewed for season two the following month. Since then, there was radio silence about the show’s return. Murphy and Brennan have kept busy in the intervening years, creating the massively successful Monster anthology series and somehow finding time to work on a script for a Glee revival. Now, Netflix has confirmed that The Watcher is in fact moving forward. Production on season two will begin this fall in New York, with Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale reprising their roles as Nora Brannock and Dean Brannock, respectively. Margo Martindale will reprise her role as nosy neighbor Maureen “Mo,” and Isabel Gravitt will return as Nora and Dean’s daughter, Ellie Brannock.
