What Could Happen in Secrets We Keep Season 2?
Secrets We Keep is set in an affluent Copenhagen suburb and revolves around Cecilie, whose life is upended when Ruby, the Filipino au pair employed by her neighbours, mysteriously disappears.
Turns out, Ruby previously confided in Cecilie about her desire to leave, hinting at troubling circumstances. This prompts Cecilie to launch her own investigation into the disappearance, suspecting there might be something fishy going on. She ultimately uncovers a web of disturbing secrets.
The series isn’t based on true events, but is inspired by Denmark’s au pair culture. “I’ve always been fascinated by the power structures within a family. (…) Au pairs are ‘part of the family,’ while being employed, and parents are well-meaning, while absent. It’s these cold, hard facts — hidden beneath a soft layer of niceness — that intrigues me,” show creator Ingeborg Topsøe says.
By the end of the series, viewers and Cecilie get answers about what happened to Ruby. Even so, the story is far from over. Secrets We Keep Season 2 could follow the lives of the two families in the aftermath, as they deal with the revelations that came to light during the investigation. Add another neighbourhood incident into the mix, and you’ve got a winning formula.
