Martin Compston Just Dampened Our Hopes Of Our House Season 2 In A Big Way

Starring Martin Compston, of Vigil and Line Of Duty fame, and Downton Abbey’s Tuppence Middleton, ITV’s new drama Our House centers around the story of estranged married couple Fi and Bram Lawson, portrayed by Middleton and Compston respectively. Fi returns one day to find someone else living in her house, her ex-husband vanished and her things missing. She’s left grappling to find the answers. Fans are already wondering: will Our House return for a season season?

Officially, ITV has yet to confirm whether the series will be recommissioned for a second series, however I will update this story should that change. We know that Our House is based on Louise Candlish’s best-selling novel of the same name. Though there isn’t a sequel in Candlish’s ouvre as such, the author has penned seventeen novels in total, so it’s possible that another of her stories could be adapted for the screen. Her oother bestsellers include The Second Husband, Since I Don’t Have You, and Before We Say Goodbye.

Unofficially, Our House star Compston has somewhat dampened our hopes for a sequel. Speaking to RadioTimes he said: "I think these days, people are far too afraid to just let something be. I think you can run the risk of spoiling a great original with a bad sequel, and I've seen that happen several times."

It is a sentiment he echoed with Variety, saying: "I think there is something psychological in your head when you go, 'This is it, this is the one-off drama', and you commit to it fully, and we're not coming back.”

“I think there's something really appealing in that as an actor, you know, where we just knew this is a one-off, and we're all in and then it's done. There's something really exciting about that as well because you're not going to get a second chance to address everything that goes wrong in the first, so you're really committed." Tell us how you reall feel, Compston.
