Naomi Watts Discusses Watcher 2
The popular thriller The Watcher was an immense success after its debut on Netflix on October 13, 2022. As of 2024, lead actress Naomi Watts and fans eagerly await the next installment. At the Toronto Film Festival, where she promoted her film Friends, Watts had a mini reunion with co-star Bobby Cannavale.
Anticipation and Frustration
Watts shared there has been no movement on the new season, expressing her frustration: "I wish I could give an update, but I don’t have one. It was so fun, right?" The original season was renewed shortly after its success, yet the prolonged wait has left both cast and audience in suspense.
The Plot Thickens
- The show revolves around the Brannock family.
- They move into their dream home, only to be terrorized.
- Anonymous letters come from someone calling themselves The Watcher.
As the mysterious incidents escalate, the family's paranoia grows, revealing dark secrets about their new neighborhood. Furthermore, according to Netflix's TUDUM, Naomi Watts mentioned the filming location has been vacated, adding to her uncertainty about Season 2.
A True Story Behind The Watcher
The series is based on the true story detailed in the 2018 New York Magazine article 'The Haunting of a Dream House' by Reeves Wiedeman. It recounts how Maria and Derek Broaddus purchased their dream home in June 2014, only to receive eerie letters which escalated their distress.
The real-life Watcher house located at 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey, was listed for sale in 2015 but was removed after a series of price reductions. The Broadduses filed a legal complaint against previous owners for failure to disclose the letters, resulting in their rental efforts.
The Mystery Continues
While the series takes creative liberties, it retains the same eerie address, and the Westfield police have yet to uncover the true identity of the Watcher.
