– Season 2 of Stumptown would have featured a new love interest for the lead character, played by Cobie Smulders, in every episode.
– The revelation comes from actor Jake Johnson, who discussed the show in a recent interview.
– Despite the initial plans for a second season, Stumptown was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a surprising disclosure, actor Jake Johnson recently revealed that the cancelled season 2 of the TV series Stumptown would have introduced a new love interest for the main character, portrayed by Cobie Smulders, in each episode. Johnson, who played Grey McConnell on the show, shared this information during an interview about his new series, Hoops.
Johnson commented on the original plan for the second season, stating, “Stumptown Season 2 was going to be wild. The plan was to have Cobie Smulders’ character have a new love interest in every single episode. So season 2 was going to be just a total f—king mess for her, which we were all really excited about.” Despite the intriguing concept, the much-anticipated season never came to fruition due to production issues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In May 2020, the series was initially renewed for its second season. However, due to the challenges faced by the entertainment industry as a result of the ongoing pandemic, Stumptown was cancelled in September 2020. Fans and the cast alike were disappointed, as the show had developed a strong following and received positive reviews for its first season.
It’s interesting to ponder what might have happened in season 2, and Smulders’ character’s love life would undoubtedly have made for compelling television. While Stumptown won’t return to our screens, fans can still look forward to seeing Jake Johnson in other projects, including his role as a basketball coach in the animated comedy series Hoops.
