Will there be a season two of Maid?

We don't yet know if there will be a second series of the show, but - as it's been billed as a limited series - it's looking unlikely that there will be more episodes.

Netflix limited series are generally standalone, meaning it's unlikely further series' will be in the works.

What's more, the series is based on a book based on atrue events - so any future seasons would need more of the story to be written.

What is Maid about?

The official synopsis reads: "Maid follows the story of Alex, a single mother who turns to housecleaning to — barely — make ends meet as she escapes an abusive relationship and overcomes homelessness to create a better life for her daughter, Maddy. Seen through the emotional yet humorous lens of a desperate but determined woman, this series is a raw and inspiring exploration of a mother’s resilience."
