This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Co-creator Julie Plec and showrunner Rina Mimoun plan an optimistic three-season path for The Girls on the Bus.

Season 2 may lead to the general election, and season 3 to the presidency, exploring the journalists-candidate dynamic.

Inspired by Amy Chozik's political reporting experience, the show focuses on unique journalists on the campaign trail.

The three-season plan for The Girls on the Bus gets an optimistic and detailed plan from the show's co-creator after that cliffhanger ending involving the new Democratic candidate. Inspired by co-creator Amy Chozik's experience as a political reporter, The Girls on The Bus unfolds on the campaign trail. In particular, it focuses on four journalists, each with their unique reporting styles and personalities. This includes Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist), a journalist who romanticizes what she believes to be a bygone era of campaign reporting.

After the cliffhanger ending of The Girls on the Bus season 1, co-creator Julie Plec and showrunner Rina Mimoun spoke with Entertainment Weekly about where the series could go next if it's renewed.

Mimoun: “We absolutely did talk about a season 2 and certain things are built in to the season that you’ve already seen.” Plec: “The original structure was always the path that the journalist has laid out in Sadie’s hopes and dreams, which is: You start at the bottom and you get on someone’s bus, and then in success, you can ride their coattails all the way through the general and to the White House, and at the end of their tenure at the White House, there’s books, there’s a Pulitzer, there’s all kinds of opportunities. The series is meant to follow that track: Season 2 maybe being the general, season 3 being the presidency or whatever. It’s about that relationship between the journalists and the candidate and what they get out of the experience for better or for worse, and all the hurdles along the way.”
