Although the first part of Season 2 came out in December 2022, the second part came out this April – and fans of the show have been eagerly waiting to find out what happened to their favourite characters.

‘Firefly Lane’ follows a friendship between two women in Seattle. Friends since their teen years, the show looks at how their friendship changes throughout the years, as the women are now in their 40s.
