Firefly Lane is coming back!

Based on Kristin Hannah's novel of the same name, the series follows two girls named Tully and Kate throughout their 30-year friendship, including the ups and downs they have faced over the years.

Starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke as Tully and Kate, respectively, the show first premiered in February 2021 and was eventually renewed for a second season in May 2021.

After recounting Tully and Kate's friendship from high schoolers to grown adults, season 1 ends on a cliffhanger as it flashes forward in time and reveals that the two are no longer friends.

Needless to say, fans have been anxiously waiting for the second season to see how everything unfolds (and Netflix promises we'll get answers in the upcoming episodes).

Ahead of the premiere, here's everything to know about the upcoming season, which will be split into two parts.
