Alice and Steve isn’t your average rom-com. In fact, the premise is enough to turn away viewers looking to swoon while rooting for the central couple. That’s part of the show’s appeal.
The dark comedy-drama explores what happens when your best friend starts dating your daughter. The situation is awkward and cringe, but also impossible to look away from. However, is it meaty enough to sustain a follow-up? Here’s what we know so far.
Alice and Steve Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news available about a potential Alice and Steve season 2. The show recently premiered on Disney+ in the UK, with all six episodes available at once. In other words, it’s early days. A renewal could be announced somewhere down the line.
The finale ends with a cliffhanger. While that cliffhanger could act as an ambiguous ending, the show’s creator, Sophie Goodhart, is open to the idea of making a second installment.
“I don’t love when shows keep you hanging too much about what the feelings are, so I wanted to do a complete season, but knew I could do a season 2 – but I’m not sure that there’d be more than that,” Goodhart said.
Ultimately, it depends on how many people tune in. If all goes well, new episodes could arrive in 2027 or 2028.

What Is Alice and Steve About?
Alice and Steve centres on Alice, a woman in her 50s whose life is thrown into chaos when her best friend, Steve, begins to date her 26-year-old daughter, Izzy.
That said, the show is less interested in the romance itself and more interested in the fallout. As you might imagine, Alice sees Steve’s relationship with Izzy as a profound betrayal. Not only is Steve her friend, but he has known Izzy since she was a child. As Alice tries to break the couple apart, her actions become increasingly desperate.
By the end of the first season, things escalate to an unhinged level of absurdity, with everyone unsure of where they stand. Without giving away major spoilers, the two friends manage to talk it through, but their future is uncertain.
Alice and Steve season 2 would likely pick up from there and explore whether the friendship might be salvaged. For now, all we can do is wait and see.
