Season 2 of the show is going to feature 16 episodes. The first nine episodes form the first part of the season, while the remaining seven will premiere in the second part. Fans are now eagerly waiting for Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2. But when will it be released? Read on to find out.
Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2 Release Date
Netflix had earlier announced that the second part of the season will be dropping sometime in 2023. Now, the exact date has also been confirmed. The show’s lead Katherine Heigl, who plays Tully Hart, announced that Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2 will be releasing on Thursday, June 8th 2023.

This puts the gap between the first and the second part to six months. However, other Netflix shows which got their seasons split had much lesser gaps between the two parts. The complete season 4 of Stranger Things, for instance, was released in under two months.
Will Firefly Lane Return After Season 2 Part 2?
Unfortunately, the show is going to end with season 2, and there will be no further seasons. So the story would be concluded in season 2, part 2. However, the show will be ending not due to cancellation or a drop in viewers, but because of a lack of source material.
Firefly Lane is based on a two-part novel series by Kristin Hannah, launched between 2008 and 2013. The first season covered the first book of the franchise. The second season is based on the sequel novel, named Fly Away.
Netflix had confirmed that the second season would be the final one in an announcement in October. “Part 1 of our 16-episode supersized season features 9 episodes, with @kristinhannahauthor amazing story of Tully and Kate concluding in 2023 with Part 2 and the remaining 7 installments,” the streaming platform posted on social media.
