Julia Roberts Will Not Return for Homecoming’s Second Season

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13628″ img_size=”800×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Amazon Prime’s Homecoming, starring Julia Roberts; has generated a lot of buzz and is a success, but fans of the series may feel disappointed to know that Roberts will not be returning to reprise her role. At this moment, it’s uncertain who will and will not return for season two, but Roberts was only contracted for one season, although she will still serve as an executive producer. This was her first TV series regular role.

Homecoming was based on a podcast and the ending did deviate from the path the podcast had taken, so it’s unknown where season two would go. Showrunner Sam Esmail commented:

“We’ve deviated from very much of the podcast, so [season two of] the podcast doesn’t really have anything to do with the way the show is going. We’re working on a second season, but we have a very different trajectory for our show. I think when I signed on, I had only listened to the first six episodes of the podcast, which is the first season, and then from there we deviated completely. The show starts out fairly close to the podcast, and in the back half of the season we really start to see the major shifts and differences from the podcast,” Esmail told THR.
