Michaela Coel cancels development of 'I May Destroy You' sequel

In an article published by Deadline, Coel explains his decision to abandon the project. She cites the difficulty of continuing the story of Arabella, the series' main character, who experienced sexual trauma, as one of the main reasons for her decision.

“I don't think it's right or healthy for Arabella or me to continue to explore this trauma,” Coel says. “I think I've said everything I need to say about this story.”

I may destroy you was a groundbreaking miniseries that explored themes of sexual assault and trauma in a way that was both raw and poetic. The series received critical acclaim and won numerous awards, including a BAFTA and an Emmy Award.

Coel's decision to cancel the sequel is undoubtedly disappointing for fans of the series. However, it is important to respect your creative decision and understand the reasons behind it.

I may destroy you will remain a powerful and important work of art that will continue to impact viewers for years to come.
