From Scratch Season 2: Will From Scratch on Netflix Get a Season 2?

By Jivika Last updated Oct 28, 2022

After watching Amy and Lino’s love story unfold on Netflix’s newest drama series From Scratch, viewers are reaching for tissues and planning their next trip to Italy.

Based on Tembi Locke’s memoir of the same name, From Scratch tells the emotional story of Amy (played by Zoe Saldaa), an American art student who travels to Florence and falls in love with a Sicilian chef named Lino (Eugenio Mastrandrea). The series delves into their love story, including everything from babies to marriage and family feuds. When Lino becomes ill, their two families must band together to care for him.

The eight-part series debuted on Netflix last Friday (October 21st) and has quickly climbed the Top 10. Viewers have been devouring the series, with many wondering if there will be a sequel.

Is from Scratch Renewed for Season 2?

No, From Scratch has not been renewed for a second season because Netflix has billed the project as a limited series. That means that season 1 tells the entire story, and the writers were able to tell the entire story in just one batch of episodes. Because the audience was given eight episodes, episode 8 is the series finale. All eight episodes debuted on the same day.

The show is based on Tembi Locke’s memoir of the same name, From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home. As a result, showrunner Attica and the writers approached the season as a one-and-done project, allowing them to tackle the memoir entirely.

Will From Scratch on Netflix Get a Season 2?

Netflix has yet to confirm whether Amy and her family will return for a second season of From Scratch.

Given that the show is a limited series, another season is unlikely, but we’re crossing our fingers.

Who Might Star in a Potential from Scratch season 2?

If From Scratch gets a second season, Zoe Saldaa would ideally return to reprise her role as Amy. Danielle Deadwyler (Zorra), Judith Scott (Maxine), Kellita Smith (Lynn), Lucia Sardo (Filomena), and Keith David (Hershel) should all return. Eugenio Mastrandrea, whose character Lino dies in the seventh episode of the series, will not be returning. However, there is a chance he will appear in flashback scenes.

Depending on whether the series returns and what time period it is set in, Isla Colbert is unlikely to reprise her role as Idalia (Amy and Lino’s daughter) because she is too young, and another actor could potentially take over the role to reflect the character’s new age.

What Would a Potential Season 2 Of from Scratch be About?

Netflix has yet to confirm a second season of From Scratch, so it’s unclear what the plot might be. The series is based on the true story of Tombi Locke and her late husband Saro Gullo. In 2019, Tombi published a memoir with the same title about their love story, which served as the inspiration for the series. Given that it is based on Tombi’s life, there could be a second season focusing on what has happened since Saro’s death. Viewers in the series have all fallen in love with Amy and her large extended family, and I for one would happily watch another season of them going about their daily lives.

When Might Season 2 Of from Scratch be Released?

Unfortunately, we won’t know a potential release date until Netflix confirms another season of From Scratch.
