What’s in store for Will in Season 2?
This could mean that a lot will happen with all of their characters next season, beginning with Carmack’s. Fans first met Will in the last part of the season when he became Scarlett’s roommate. Those who thought he might have an interest in her got a surprise when it turned out that Will was in fact more interested in Gunnar. It seemed his womanizing, playboy act was just a ploy to cover his sexuality, but now that Carmack is a regular, what will that mean for Will in the coming year?

More music from the Stella sisters next season?
As for the Stella sisters, older sister Lennon has her own big storyline once it was revealed that her character, Maddie, was actually fathered by Deacon and not Rayna’s husband, Teddy. That story has so many places it could go next season and there’s no doubt that it will cause a lot more drama for everyone involved.
