In one quote to EW, Asher toys with the idea of another season without another book. "There’s never going to be a sequel," he said. "Which is so weird, because when I’d had the original idea for the book, I’d thought about it happening over several days like it does on the TV show. Like when Clay confronts Bryce but Bryce doesn’t know about the tapes yet, I had a similar scene in mine originally. So when I realized where they were going with that relationship, to me it was just another sign they got my characters."
