What is 'Ripple' on Netflix About?

The premise of Ripple is simple yet profound: How do small choices connect lives?

Set against the backdrop of New York City, the series follows four strangers who believe they have nothing in common. However, they have unknowingly crossed paths countless times. The show explores the "butterfly effect"—how a single, small decision can send ripples through the universe, eventually tying their destinies together.

The story anchors itself at Lumi, a cozy wine bar that becomes a sanctuary for the characters. The four main players are:

  • Walter: A grieving widower finding a new community.
  • Kris: A high-powered music executive who was recently fired.
  • Nate: The owner of Lumi, who is battling a secret lung cancer diagnosis.
  • Aria: An aspiring singer struggling to find her voice.

Ripple Season 2 Ending Explained

The final episode left us with several massive cliffhangers, fueling the demand for Season 2.

Nate is accepted into a life-saving trial in Houston, but it comes at a terrible cost—he gets the spot because a young child he bonded with, Finn, passed away. Before leaving, he gifts Kris a bamboo plant with a note saying, "Maybe our journey is only just beginning."

Will There Be a Season 2?

As of today, Netflix has not officially confirmed a renewal. However, the creator has revealed she has five seasons mapped out. Given the show's rapid climb up the charts, a renewal seems imminent.
