Is DTF St. Louis Coming Back for Season 2? - Esquire
Floyd Smernitch’s murder has been solved. But this might not be the end for HBO’s sleeper hit.
www.esquire.comShort answer: As of now, there’s no official renewal for a second season of DTF St. Louis. Most outlets have treated it as a limited series, so a Season 2 isn’t guaranteed and may depend on HBO’s decision or a shift in the show's format.
Details
- Current status: HBO has not announced a Season 2 renewal for DTF St. Louis, and several entertainment outlets have noted it was planned as a limited series from the start.[4][5][6]
- What that means: Limited-series entries are typically designed to conclude in one season, which reduces the likelihood of a follow-up without a strategic shift (e.g., an anthology format or a spin-off).[3][5]
- What to watch for: Any official HBO statements, press releases, or reputable trade reports (Variety, THR, Esquire, TV Insider) around renewals or new format announcements would confirm changes in plans.[5][3]
