DOWNLOAD MOVIE: Sex/Life season 2 Episode I – 8
Love triangle drama Sex/Life will be returning for another season on Netflix, with the addition of five new actors joining the cast in recurring roles.
Sarah Shahi will be back as Billie Connelly alongside Adam Demos, who plays her on/off partner Brad, while Dylan Bruce, Craig Bierko, Darius Homayoun and Cleo Anthony will be making their debut in season 2.
“Part deux coming very soon,” Shahi posted on Instagram. “Thank you to those who got us here.”
Sex/Life spent eight episodes exploring the love triangle between sex-obsessed suburban mum Billie (Shahi), her straight-laced devoted husband Cooper (Mike Vogel), and her bad-boy ex boyfriend Brad, played by Adam Demos – who also happens to be Shahi’s real-life boyfriend.
Just when it looked like Billie had made her decision in the final episode, there was a surprise twist and cliffhanger ending that set things up for season 2.
Read on for everything you need to know about Sex/Life season 2.
Will there be a Sex/Life season 2?
Netflix confirmed that Sex/Life has been renewed for a second season back in September 2021.
Adam Demos, who plays Billie’s ex-love Brad, suggested that production is underway after he posted a photo from the original season Instagram back in January along with the caption: “Almost time to start @sexlife season 2. Pumped!”
So, while we wait patiently for the new series to arrive, check out our guide to the Sex/Life soundtrack to revisit all of the first season’s banging (pun intended) tunes.
Sex/Life season 2 release date speculation
Filming for season 2 began in February, according to cast member Adam Demos, so we could expect new episodes towards the end of the year. Netflix has yet to announce an official air date, so we’ll keep you posted.
Sex/Life was commissioned by Netflix in August 2019 (with a one-season order), and the casting announcements came rolling in between January and March 2020. The show was originally meant to begin filming shortly after that, but – for obvious, coronavirus-related reasons – it did not.
Filming eventually began in Mississauga, Canada at the end of August 2020, and it ultimately wrapped just over three months later in December. Based on those timings, we reckon they could get a second season filmed by spring 2022.
Sex/Life season 2 cast
Netflix has confirmed additional cast members including Dylan Bruce (Orphan Black), Craig Bierko (UnREAL), Darius Homayoun (Succession) and Cleo Anthony (She’s Gotta Have It). Their roles haven’t been announced as of yet, Deadline reports.
They will be joining Billie Connelly (played by Sarah Shahi), and her ex-boyfriend (and maybe now current lover?) Brad, who is played by Adam Demos.
Sex/Life cast will also feature the return of Billie’s husband Cooper (Mike Vogel), her best friend Sasha (Margaret Odette), Cooper’s boss Francesca (Li Jun Li) and Cooper’s workmate Devon (Jonathan Sadowski).
What happens in season 2? Future of Brad & Billy’s relationship
**WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SEASON ONE**
After eight episodes, plenty of passionate sex scenes, and some full-frontal nudity from Adam Demos, Sex/Life season one came to an end with a sudden twist as Billie made a seismic decision in the closing moments of the show; that she would demand sex from Brad while staying married to Cooper. Reactions to her decision have been mixed, but the cliffhanger ending certainly suggests that season two is on the way.
To recap: Sex/Life is inspired by the novel 44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton, and is written by Stacy Rukeyser. Season one was the story of a love triangle between a woman (Billie), her husband (Cooper), and her ex-boyfriend (Brad) – but the steamy sex with the ex-boyfriend was initially all in the past, living in Billie’s brain and between the pages of her journal. That is, until her obsession grew, and Brad started trying to worm his way back into her life.
As Netflix put it, “Billie Connelly (Sarah Shahi) wasn’t always a stay-at-home wife and mother living in the suburbs. Before she married loving and reliable Cooper (Mike Vogel) and moved to Connecticut, Billie was a free-spirited wild child living in New York City with her best friend Sasha (Margaret Odette), working hard and playing even harder. Exhausted from taking care of her two young kids and feeling nostalgic for her past, Billie starts journaling and fantasising about her passionate exploits with sexy ex-boyfriend Brad (Adam Demos), the big heartbreak she never got over.
“But the more Billie remembers, the more she wonders how she got here — and then her husband finds her journal. Will the truth about Billie’s past start a sexual revolution in her marriage, or lead her down a path back to the life she thought she left behind with the man who broke her heart?”
After Cooper found Billie’s journal, he was pretty upset (spoiler alert!), and they went through plenty of ups and downs. Billie wasn’t sure what she wanted, and Cooper was devastated and desperate to save his marriage. Still – by the end, it seemed that Billie had chosen to stick with Cooper and the kids, and embrace the suburban mum life while also returning to her studies and getting her career back on track.
But no! In a sudden twist right at the end, Billie ran back to Brad – with a new decision. She made it clear that she won’t be leaving her husband, but that she wants a sexual relationship with Brad that picked up where things left off a decade before.
Not many TV shows would end with the words “now f**k me,” but hey – that’s Sex/Life for you.
“It was always intended to be a shocking realisation for Billy,” showrunner Stacy Rukeyser TVLine. “She loves both her children, but she’s in this world with other parents who seem to be fulfilled with just this world, and it’s not enough for her. There is this other part of her, this more sexual self, this wild or free part of herself that she wants to experience.”
So how does Brad respond to Billie’s suggestion? So far, we don’t really know; season one ended before he got a chance to reply.
