As the past comes back to haunt them, threatening to ruin their lives and the lives of those around them, what will be their next move?”

Hide AdStay Close has not yet been renewed by Netflix for season 2.
No other Harlan Coben adaptions have returned for multiple seasons, so if it was renewed, it would be the first.
If Stay Close does return for a season two, it would most likely air a year on from the first season.
