Netflix’s ‘That’s My Boy,’ a limited series based on Bo Burnham’s one-man stage performance, is unlikely to receive a second season. The series, which premiered on Netflix in 2022, explores themes of trauma and sexual abuse with dark comedy, similar to Michaela Coel’s ‘I May Destroy You’ that aired on HBO in 2020. Both series have been praised for their honest and unflinching portrayal of these difficult subjects.
However, Burnham, like Coel, feels that a single season is sufficient to convey his message. He has recently signed on to star in and executive produce a new BBC series, which will explore the relationship between two estranged brothers.
While fans of ‘That’s My Boy’ may be disappointed that there won’t be a second season, they can take solace in the fact that Burnham is continuing to create thought-provoking and challenging work. His new BBC series is sure to be just as insightful and emotionally resonant as ‘That’s My Boy.’
In the meantime, viewers can still stream ‘That’s My Boy’ on Netflix. The series carries trigger warnings for sexual abuse and trauma, so viewers are advised to proceed with caution.
