Contains spoilers for The Cry season one.
BBC One’s The Cry was a huge hit with viewers when it aired, causing intrigue with its dark, twist-filled plot and earning Jenna Coleman high praise for her incredible performance.
Coleman, of course, starred as Joanna, a woman whose life is turned upside down when she loses her newborn child and ultimately kills her lying and manipulative husband Alistair (Ewen Leslie).
As the series drew to a conclusion we learned that it was Alistair’s lack of diligence when administering Noah’s medicine that caused the newborn’s death, however he and Jo managed to cover that up and maintain their story that Noah had been stolen.
Even after undergoing trial for Alistair’s murder – and being found not guilty – Jo kept the lie going.

One person who seemingly didn’t buy it, though, was Alistair’s teenage daughter from his previous marriage, Chloe (Markella Kavenagh). As Jo left the court room in the final scene of The Cry season one, Chloe could be soon holding up an image of Noah, suggesting she might know the truth.
The Cry season 2: Is it happening?
Fans of the show have speculated over a second season in which Chloe delves into the truth behind her brother’s mysterious disappearance.
Other’s have suggested that a follow up series might reveal that Chloe’s mum Alexandra (Asher Keddie) was somehow involved in plotting Noah’s death.
But will a second series actually happen?
The four episodes of The Cry on BBC One were adapted from a book of the same name by Australian author Helen FitzGerald. As there is no sequel novel for The Cry, any future series would need to be comprised of new material.
The BBC hasn’t made any announcement regarding a second season, so for now it remains to be seen whether we’ll be treated to The Cry season two.
One thing we do know is that another of FitzGerald’s books is set to be adapted for TV.
The production company who made The Cry have bought the TV rights for Australia Day, a ‘Broadchurch-style’ story about a devastating bush fire and its impact on a community. FitzGerald is currently writing the story, but will she have time for a The Cry sequel, too?
Time will tell…
