The tragic story of Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette) and Gypsy Rose Blanchard (Joey King) has come to an end, thus fans are waiting if there will be The Act Season 2. As the drama series is said to be an anthology, it is possible Hulu will renew the show and make a new season that will tell a different crime story.
Co-creator Michelle Dean, who wrote the BuzzFeed article about Dee Dee and Gypsy, confirmed Hulu has yet to green-lit The Act Season 2. However, she already has plans what she is going to do to the new season if ever it gets renewed.
"The Act was designed as an anthology," Dean told Esquire in March. "Obviously the title refers to a couple things ... the act of the crime, but also the act that Dee Dee and Gypsy were putting on for the public."
If there would be The Act Season 2, Dean hinted they would be telling interesting crime stories like Dee Dee and Gypsy. In a list made by Bustle, here are the most interesting crime stories that Hulu might want to feature next.
The Act Season 2 may adopt Jennifer Pan's story for being very much like Dee Dee and Gypsy's tale. It is about a "family dynamic" that gone wrong when she and her boyfriend, Daniel Wong, planned to kill her parents in 2010 and made it look like a robbery.
Pan, who is now serving a life sentence in prison with her boyfriend, admitted she hired a hitman, but only to kill her and not her parents. Her mother died, but her father survived. Friends who were close to the family said the couple was overprotective and controlling of their child.
Hulu may also be interested in telling Christine Paolilla's story in The Act Season 2. The girl, along with an accomplice Christopher Snider, was only teenagers when they killed four of their close friends in 2013. She is now convicted and sentenced to life in prison, while Snider died before getting arrested.
The Act Season 2 may also dive into the daughters of Linda Andersen's story or the Bathtub Girls. The two Canadian teenagers reportedly drowned their mother, who was said to be an alcoholic, in 2003 together. Everyone believed it was an accident until their school friend went to the police. They were both convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Lastly, The Act Season 2 may tell the J.R. Murders, where a 12-year-old girl became Canada's youngest multiple killer in 2006. The kid helped his 23-year-old boyfriend, Jeremy Steinke, to kill her parents and 8-year-old brother. She was convicted to first-degree murder and served 10 years in prison, while Steinke serves a life sentence.
