All the moments shown in the series gave clear answers to the major points explored throughout the series. From Rosalie Sutton's mysterious death to the fate of the Tinley Britt firm, episode 10 touched upon all the questions about the plot. As of October 19, 2025, USA Network has not given a clear confirmation regarding the release of The Rainmaker season 2.

What could The Rainmaker season 2 be about?

While most of the loose ends were tied up by the end of The Rainmaker season 1, the fate of the second season remains unknown. However, if there were to be another season of the series, there are several points that could be addressed ahead. The ending of The Rainmaker season 1 is in line with what John Grisham's novel included, but there could be more details that the makers might choose to bring out or create entirely in season 2.

The series ended with Rudy and the team enjoying their victory and Leo facing the consequences of his deeds in the cases of Donny Ray Black and Rosalie Sutton. Rudy's next course of action could be explored further if another season is confirmed. Leo's fate and the new picture of the Tinley Britt firm also stand as a point that could be developed further.

Sarah stands in a big position in the firm, making her future at Tinley Britt a unique point that could potentially be explored ahead. Growth of Bruiser's firm and Deck's plan for writing the bar examination are also some points that could be picked if season 2 happens. Character developments or backstories of a few of them could also be explored in season 2.

While the scope and possibilities for a second season are being discussed by the viewers, the team behind The Rainmaker season 1 has expressed their thoughts on the return. Their thoughts on a second season give hope for return, but confirmations are still awaited for the same.

Milo Callaghan, who plays the role of Rudy Baylor in the series, spoke to TV Insider about his thoughts on season 2. Showing enthusiasm for another installment, he expressed:

"I’m here for seven seasons, so let’s go. We’re always having conversations… I hope so. I hope we get the gang back together, and I hope we meet another adversary on the road, and I’m excited.”

Michael Seitzman, the creator of the series, spoke to TV Insider about season 2 and said:

"I don’t know. I have a lot of ideas for Season 2, but none of them have really calcified yet in my mind, and some of them include those characters, and some of them don’t. "

Adding to it, he said:

"There’s a part of me that wonders if we just completely wipe the slate clean in Season 2, and the characters who are not in trouble come back, and the other characters who were in trouble, we treat that as backstory. There’s another part of me that wonders how I could bring them back, but it’s a tricky thing. I have to think about it some more."

While these thoughts show the team's ideas on season 2, it is awaited to see if USA Network will bring the series back to viewers soon.
