Behind Her Eyes is one of the rare Netflix three-way love affair thrillers that captivates the world with a strange, magnetic pull stretching into the darkest and most unexpected twists. The six-episode saga left behind more questions than it answered, creating a void of demand only a new season could fulfill. It is one of the shows that can gaslight viewers after a single binge. But the best part is, its rewatchable plot, rife with complications, opened the door for another season.

So, what happens next? Where does the mind-bending body-swapping finale lead to?

The ending of the 2021 Netflix series, which left the internet sucker punched with double plot twists, still had a limited run despite the expectations. This is because the narrative of the first season encompasses the entire arc of its 2017 source novel, Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. There is no confirmation of a second season for Behind Her Eyes as of 2025. In the case of more episodes, Pinborough, when asked by Express UK about a renewal, stated that she was not aware of any such plans. 

Pinborough told the outlet, as reported by Cosmopolitan, “I would be interested to see where they would take it as it's a pretty closed ending… But if it does well, you never know," suggesting that if season 2 got approval, it would most likely walk away from the novel’s closed loop. Meanwhile, the Netflix show, which had already omitted the harsher aspects of the book, could explore the repercussions of the head-spinning body-swap plot twist, such as David being stuck with Rob in Louise's body, in a potential new season. However, nothing is confirmed, though rewatching the series might help clarify the story's brain-fogging confusion. 

'Ángela' Series on Netflix: Where Was the Psychological Thriller Filmed?

Behind Her Eyes combines domesticity and uncanniness, illusions and control, leaving viewers torn between sympathy and horror, but its surprises never grow old.

Behind Her Eyes presents a dark psychological thriller in which single mother Louise, played by Simona Brown, begins an affair with her boss, David, played by Tom Bateman, while forming a friendship with his enigmatic wife, Adele, played by Eve Hewson. What seemed to be a clear-cut erotic triangle soon dissolves into surrealist territory with astral projection, body-swapping, alternating identities, and a finale where the unnerving who-is-who twists do not seem to end. 

While the first watch would leave everyone dazed and confused, a second binge could let viewers see how many signs they missed at the beginning. With its shocking six-episode arc, Behind Her Eyes is a strong, compact binge appropriate for that weekend to jog the brain and get it tangled into uncertain mind-games never to be tried at home. Though there are no further episodes in the pipeline, the show is streaming on Netflix alongside its treasure of gnarly psychological thrillers of different flavors.
