‘Tommy & Tuppence’ Stars Josh Dylan and Antonia Thomas on That ‘Intense’ Finale, Why the Detective Duo ‘Keep Missing Each Other’ Romantically and a Potential Season 2
The finale of *Tommy & Tuppence* leaves the detective duo’s romance unresolved, as Tuppence decides to divorce her husband just as she sees Tommy kissing Detective Draper.
