But first, what is ‘A Man in Full’ about?

(Spoilers ahead)
Neither Netflix nor the makers have yet made an official announcement regarding the second season of A Man in Full. The show, in fact, was made and marketed as a limited series by the streamer, which means it was meant to wrap up the storyline in the eight episodes of the debut season only. So, the chances of it getting renewed for a sophomore season are less likely.
Additionally, Tom Wolfe’s original book doesn’t have a sequel. Naturally, the series ends pretty conclusively. After finding Martha (Diane Lane) and Raymond (Tom Pelphrey) together, Charlie grabs Raymond by the neck and slams him against the wall. This is when Charlie’s fingers get locked, and he starts to have a heart stroke. By the time Martha manages to get back into the room, both Charlie and Raymond are dead.
So, there’s nothing much left for the creators to continue the series in the next seasons.
