Tick-Tock, Where's Season 2 of The Great?
Okay, let's be honest. We're all thinking it. Where IS the next season of The Great?
It feels like forever since we last saw Catherine plotting and scheming. We need more of her witty remarks! We need more ridiculously lavish costumes!
The Anticipation Is Killing Me (And My Royal Hopes)
Seriously, the wait is almost unbearable. My Russian court dreams are fading with each passing day.
I've started speaking in a faux-Russian accent just to cope. My cat is not amused.
Anyone else building a small, elaborate model of the Winter Palace while they wait? No? Just me? Okay...
Unpopular Opinion: Season 1 Was Underrated Masterpiece
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Unpopular opinion? Really?" Yes, really!
Season 1 was absolute genius. Fight me.
Okay, don't actually fight me. But admit it: the sharp writing, the historical inaccuracies played for laughs, Nicholas Hoult's incredible (and incredibly awful) Peter... perfection!
Was It Too Good? Did It Scare Them?
Maybe the show was *too* good. Maybe it scared the TV gods.
Perhaps they thought, "Wow, this is peak television. We can't possibly top this!"
Or maybe there's a simpler explanation. Like, you know, scheduling conflicts or something boring like that.
Wherefore Art Thou, Season 2 Release Date?
We've scoured the internet. We've checked IMDb obsessively.
We've even tried consulting a psychic (she said something about "delayed gratification" and "a strong, independent woman overthrowing a tyrannical ruler").
Still nothing concrete on the release date.
Theories, Theories Everywhere!
Here are some of my completely unfounded theories:
Theory #1: Catherine and Peter eloped to a remote island and are too busy sipping cocktails to film season 2.
Theory #2: The writers are trapped in a time loop, constantly rewriting the same hilarious jokes.
Theory #3: Hulu is holding it hostage until we all correctly guess Catherine's favorite type of pastry (my money's on a perfectly flaky croissant).
In the Meantime, We Rewatch (Again)
So, what's a fan to do? Rewatch season 1, of course!
And maybe start writing fan fiction where Catherine opens a bakery. Or becomes a detective.
Hey, at least it's something to fill the void. The incredibly opulent, historically inaccurate void.
A Plea to Hulu (and the TV Gods)
Please, oh please, give us season 2! We're begging you!
We promise to binge-watch it in one sitting. We'll even buy Hulu Premium (again)!
Just... please? My Russian court dreams depend on it.
Huzzah! (and hurry up!)
