Netflix has renewed Trinkets its charming teen kleptomaniac drama from AwesomenessTV for season 2, which will also see the story come to a conclusion. The series premiered earlier this summer, with star Brianna Hildebrand in the lead as Elodie Davis, a new student at a Portland high school who has a fondness for treating herself to a little five-finger discount. After being nabbed for swiping something that doesn’t belong to her, Elodie is required to attend Shoplifters Anonymous meeting, where she meets and eventually forms an unlikely friendship with Moe (Kiana Madeira) and Tabitha (Quintessa Swindell). 

The series was a welcome addition to the streaming giant’s enormous catalog of original content, and it was also one that demonstrated how to do a YA story right, starting with the show’s approach to adapting Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith’s book of the same name. But, in addition to its great cast and smart writing, Trinkets demonstrated itself to be one of the rare teen-centric shows that can incorporate a killer soundtrack into its narrative without subjecting the audience to an endless parade of unmotivated or on-the-nose needle drops.

As is seemingly the case with most Netflix original series of late, Trinkets’ run will be shorter than most audiences in the United States are used to. In an official release from the streamer, the series will end its run with season 2, bringing on new showrunner Sarah Goldfinger (Grimm) to see Elodie, Moe, and Tabitha’s respective stories to their end. The news will likely be a difficult one for fans of the drama who were expecting several seasons of adolescent bonding over ill-gotten gains, but in this day and age of Peak TV and ultra-quick Netflix cancelations, it would seem that Trinkets getting to end its story on its terms is a kindness too many series aren’t afforded.

Trinkets’ experience is a far cry from the likes of other shows, like American Vandal, Santa Clarita Diet, and One Day at a Time, all of which were axed by the streamer just as they were picking up steam and garnering an even more devoted audience. While the latter has since been resurrected by the unlikely sorcery of POP TV, the other two are seemingly as dead as disco. 

Still, knowing Trinkets will come to an end with season 2 will allow the writers to give the series and its audience the closure they want and hopefully wrap up the story in a way that satisfies everyone. For fans of quality YA drama, this will be a bittersweet ending, but at least it happens on the show’s terms.
