What makes that stance difficult to entirely accept is that the same thing was said about HBO’s other breakout limited series, Big Little Lies.
Originally planned as a miniseries, a continuation of Sharp Objects has not been in the cards, and that will apparently remain the case.
That was also a originally intended as a one-and-done miniseries adaptation of a stand-alone novel with an all-star cast directed by Sharp Objects’ helmer Jean-Marc Vallée.
There are no plans for a second season, as revealed at Sharp Object’s TCA panel (per a tweet by Collider’s Allison Keene).
