"So, this issue between Tully and Kate, we can't say much, but we can say that it's family related," she revealed. "And it has nothing to do with Johnny." NETFLIX Based on the 2008 novel of the same name by Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane follows friends Tully (Heigl) and Kate (Chalke) across three decades. As Tully's career takes off, becoming the daytime talk show host of The Girlfriend Hour, Kate marries their mutual friend and Tully's producer Johnny (Ben Lawson), raising a daughter together before ultimately getting divorced. Lawson previously told PEOPLE that the whole cast was holding out hope for a second season. "I hope there will be [a season 2]," he said in February. "I think the response has been largely positive. I don't know what Netflix is thinking, but I hope they're as excited to do a season 2 as we all are."
