Lovecraft Country has wrapped up its first season, but fans are already clamoring for the second. Despite the fact that a second season hasn’t been greenlit yet, showrunner Misha Green does have some ideas as to where she wants to take the show.

In an interview with Deadline, Green said a second season would carry on where the novel the show is based on left off.

“Nothing is official yet, but I envision a second season that carries on the spirit of Matt Ruff’s novel by continuing to reclaim the genre storytelling space that people of color have typically been left out of,” she said.

She gave more detail on her thoughts for a second season to Collider, saying that she can see this series going on for several seasons by virtue of the fact that there’s so much to be explored regarding people of color and genre storytelling.

“The specifics I have are genre and people of color,” she said. “That can go season after season, after season, after season. Being such a huge genre fan, there’s so much space there. There are so many places in genre where you don’t see people of color. You don’t see genre being used to tell stories about what it means to be Chinese American, or what it means to be Mexican American. That’s a well that you can always go back to, with no fear of feeling like it feels overdone.”

Green does have an idea as to what happens to Atticus (Jonathan Majors) after his heroic death in the finale, but fans aren’t going to know until she’s ready to tell.

“No spoilers. That would spoil Season 2,” she said. “One of the exciting things about this season was, in the PR campaign and all of that stuff, trying to keep as much of the details vague, so that the audience could experience each episode. I think that was so fun to watch and something we want to keep going forward, is where is this going to go?”

She also revealed there are tons of ways she could spin the second season based on ideas she’s had in her head for a very long time.

“I’ve been a genre fan since I was five. I think that’s when I read my first Goosebumps. So, there are millions of things in my head where I’m like, ‘I’d love to see this. I’d love to do this. This would be great. That would be great. This would be amazing. We have to do a version of that,'” she said. “For me, I’m just excited about the fact that people have responded and vibed so well with the world, and that there might be opportunities to continue to do it.
