Overview
- Showrunner Jacob Tierney, speaking at BookCon on Saturday, said he is writing Season 2 to adapt Rachel Reid’s The Long Game and that the story moves into more serious territory for the central couple.
- Tierney added Michael Goldbach as a co-writer to help move new episodes out faster following the breakout first season.
- Season 2 will also weave in parts of Role Model from Reid’s Game Changer series, with the show exploring Troy Barrett and Harris Drover in greater depth.
- Tierney said The Long Game offers so much material that the storyline could extend across more than one season.
- Tierney recapped the show’s rapid first run, from an August 2023 start to a Nov. 28, 2025 premiere, with episode six finishing just days before it aired.
