Bodies: Official trailer<\/h3>\n

Bodies showrunner Paul Tomalin is reluctant to bring the show back for a second season on Netflix.<\/p>\n

The streamer\u2019s gripping new mystery thriller follows four detectives in different timelines, spanning from the late 19th Century to the near future.<\/p>\n

Each of the detectives is somehow investigating the same dead body in London, an impossible clue to a vast conspiracy across the decades.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Tomalin said that, while a follow-up mystery is certainly a possibility, it\u2019s unlikely to happen unless season one is incredibly successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019ve got such an amazing concept – that Si Spencer, the graphic novel\u2019s author, came up with – I think you do the audience a disservice if you don\u2019t answer it, in some way, shape or form,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a viewer, I can\u2019t stand it when somebody has a bangarang concept right up front and then you think, \u2018Oh man, they\u2019re gonna push this out for five seasons if they\u2019re lucky enough\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix already has several limited series under its belt, such as Beef, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, The Fall of the House of Usher and the upcoming All the Light We Cannot See, to just name some recent examples.<\/p>\n

However, plenty of its programming has also found surprise success and has been renewed for second and third instalments.<\/p>\n

Although Tomalin isn\u2019t ruling out that outcome, he originally pitched Bodies as just one eight-part story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really went to Netflix going, \u2018Okay, we\u2019re not going to rule out a second season, but in terms of what this sets up, we end it\u2019,\u201d he recalled. \u201cSo it\u2019s a limited series.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s a huge success, who knows? But, whatever it is, you get the ending to the story that you\u2019re signing up for on this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich is a rare privilege, because normally you\u2019re told to avoid endings.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut with this\u2026 it\u2019s a one-and-done. With a dot dot dot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
