Dangerous Liaisons season 2: Network bosses give exciting update

Starz’s recent adaption of Dangerous Liaisons landed on screens with a new insight into the French classic. With viewers just two episodes into season one, the series proved to be a huge hit with network bosses who renewed the drama for a second instalment. Dangerous Liaisons is one of many adaptations which stem from the 1782 novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses which was first published by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.The original story of Dangerous Liaisons followed Marquise de Mertreuil and the Vicomte de Valmont who set off on a twisted journey of seduction and manipulation. However, unlike the other films and stage plays, this iteration is based on a single letter in the epistolary which showrunners discovered in the novel. While the novel became an instant sensation, the latest adaptation serves as a prequel to the early days of their relationship.READ MORE: Prince William and Kate ‘upset’ with Mike Tindall’s I’m A Celeb stint Dangerous Liaisons will return for season two (Image: Starz) Dangerous Liaisons stars Alice Englert as Marquise de Mertreuil (Image: Starz) Dangerous Liaisons series serves as a prequel (Image: Starz) Dangerous Liaisons: tells the origin story of Marquise and Vicomte (Image: Starz)While this was welcomed news for viewers, it was a dream realised for showrunner Harriet Warner who had previously shared her hopes for the series. Speaking to Express.co.uk, she shared: ‘We’re working overtime, it’ll be wonderful to carry on because there’s a lot of journey for all our characters to go on.’So I really hope we’re fortunate enough to get another season.’In the Summer, Harriet detailed her plans for the series and hinted at what fans could expect, should Dangerous Liaison get renewed.DON’T MISS…Mike Tindall sparks uproar for ’embarrassing’ the royals [INSIGHT]Dangerous Liaisons showrunner pays touching tribute to colleague [INSIGHT]Outlander’s Sam Heughan hints at future of the series [INSIGHT]She stated: “Over the course of hopefully multiple seasons, our characters will get to that point that we meet them in the novel, of real moral compromise and corruption.’We go with them on that journey in Season 1, but there is still innocence,’ Harriet told Town and Country. Dangerous Liaison explores the lives of Marquise de Mertreuil (played by Alice Englert) and the Vicomte de Valmont (Nicholas Denton) and who they were before they became the vicious schemers depicted in the story. And much like its predecessor, there’s an air of mystery and scandal woven throughout the storyline.
