The Ending of 'The Stranger' Explained
Netflix’s latest mystery saga adapts a self-contained story but leaves the door open to more installments down the line.
The first season of The Stranger, based on the Harlan Coben novel of the same name, is an anxiety-inducing tale of murder, mystery, and secrets. The series spins an intricate web of lies throughout, but the finale reveals some disturbing truths that most viewers will have seen coming along the way. Still, it’s entertaining and engaging all the same.
If the final episode reveals anything, however, it’s that telling the truth doesn’t always make things right. And lying certainly doesn’t, either. This is just one of those shows where there are consequences for actions both noble and deceiving, but in a strange way, it ends on a hopeful note — and leaves the door open for a second installment.
The closing shot sees Chris (Hannah John-Kamen) — the titular Stranger — at the kids’ football match, watching over Adam (Richard Armitage), Ed (Anthony Head), and the other remaining family members. Given that she made amends with Chris in the hospital, it’s weird that she still feels the need to watch him from afar. Of course, it’s also quite understandable since she has no idea if Ed will accept her as his daughter. Talk about family drama, eh?
By this point, it’s also well-established that Chris wants to protect Adam. She might be partly responsible for his wife’s death and his life falling apart, but her truth bombs were well-intentioned at the end of the day. They came from a place of love because he’s her brother, and she took a bullet for him, so it’s unlikely that she wants to set any more stressful events in motion for the family.
By her spying on Adam from far away, it’s suggested that she’s going to remain in the shadows, watching over his family in order to protect them. Protect them from what? Maybe something. Maybe nothing. But if anyone messes with her brother or his family moving forward, she’ll undoubtedly find a way to make their life a living hell. At the same time, the story of Adam seems pretty closed — unless it somehow gets out that he killed Tripp (Shaun Dooley) and covered it up with Johanna (Siobahn Finneran).
Of course, it’s also possible that Chris was taking one last look at them before she moved on in her own right. Her work is done. It’s clear that Adam means a lot to her, but chances are he doesn’t want her being a part of his life considering all of the trouble she inadvertently caused for him. If that’s the case, what happens next for Chris?
While the show contains many similarities to the book, Coben and co. went into it with the intention of changing things up a little — a British setting, new characters, a gender-swapped Chris, to name a few. Furthermore, in the book, Chris doesn’t make another appearance after the showdown with Katz. The show’s closing moments, however, suggests that her story might not be over yet.
Should Season 2 happen, it’s possible that Chris will set forth to new pastures and continue her mission of revealing people’s darkest secrets while blackmailing them for money. In the book, she has a group of accomplices and the plot develops all over America. In the next installment, perhaps she’ll recruit some new allies and the story will expand its geographical scope. Everyone has secrets, after all, and that opens up opportunities for more stories to be told.

The Stranger ending explained: How all the characters know one another
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
Lucy Woodham
Did you audibly gasp at *that* scene at the end of Netflix’s The Stranger? If you didn’t, were we even watching the same show? The Stranger ending finally wrapped up a lot of the loose storylines connecting all the characters together, but you’d be forgiven for getting slightly lost along the way, especially when you find out The Stranger is Adam Price’s half-sister and Katz’s boss was the sugar daddy sleeping with Heidi’s daughter.
It’s like that meme of the guy with the huge map trying to connect everything together. Yeah, that’s really resonating.
But The Stranger ending also left a lot of questions, like is there going to be a The Stranger season two? Will The Stranger mess up the Price’s life again now Adam’s murdered his neighbour? And why did The Stranger give Adam the gun in the ambulance??
Here’s a detailed run through of Netflix’s The Stranger ending explained, and a reminder of how all the characters know one another
We find out Corrine was murdered by Tripp
At the end of Netflix’s The Stranger, we finally find out what happens to Corrine in The Stranger. Corrine, who goes missing at the end of episode one after having a bust up with Adam over her fake pregnancy, has been murdered by none other than Tripp, the Price’s neighbour. The whole time you’re asking did Corrine kill herself? Is Corrine The Stranger? Did Corrine run away with all the club’s money? When really, it turns out she was dead all along.
Tripp stole money from the club, and convinced Bob Corrine was going to blame him
Tripp stole thousands of pounds from the sports club to fund his lavish lifestyle. Corrine, who was the club’s treasurer, knew Tripp had stolen the money, but as a family friend gave him an opportunity to pay all the money back. Bob, the football manager, was convinced by Tripp that Corrine was going to blame Bob for the lost money due to him expensing unnecessary things during a trip to Harrogate.
Bob hired The Stranger to dig dirt on Corrine
Because of this, Bob hires The Stranger to do some digging on Corrine. So Tripp never hired The Stranger to tell Adam Corrine faked her pregnancy. The Stranger only told Adam because whilst digging dirt for Bob, she found out who her real father was (Adam’s dad) and that Corrine had faked being pregnant. As someone big into not having any secrets, she was trying to protect her new found family by telling Adam.
When Tripp failed to repay the lost money, Corrine confronted him, telling him he’d ran out of time (as we saw when they were arguing in his garage). Because of this, Tripp smacks her with a hammer, killing her. At The Stranger ending, we see he buried her in the woods.
Jo makes it look like Katz killed Corrine and Tripp
All of this comes out when Adam is taken to Corrine’s body by Tripp. After revealing all, Adam shoots Tripp, killing him. Jo, the detective, sees Adam has killed Tripp, but decides to cover up the murder by wiping the gun all over Tripp’s t-shirt and putting it back in The Stranger’s house, where Katz had shot both The Stranger and her friend Ingrid. By doing this, it makes it look like Katz shot Tripp and killed Corrine, allowing Adam to go free. The Stranger ending shows The Stranger watching Adam and Jo talk, making me think season two?????
If this scene doesn’t bring on a The Stranger season two, I don’t know what will
How all the characters link to one another in The Stranger
Look, there’s nothing wrong with feeling like you need to be in the FBI to fully understand all the links between The Stranger characters. Episode by episode, you were trying to piece together how one character was working for another, and who was doing something dodgy and probably criminal with another character.
But chill – here’s how all The Stranger characters connect to one another:
The Price family The Stranger
Adam Price is The Stranger’s step-sister. We find this out when The Stranger discovers she is Adam’s dad’s biological daughter. Adam’s dad, who is also a lawyer, was known for sleeping around a lot when Adam was younger, so it’s not a complete surprise to find he has more unknown children.
Killane and The Stranger
Killane’s long lost daughter, Chrissy, is The Stranger. Killane murders his wife in order to keep Chrissy leaving the family home. However, Killane is not Chrissy’s biological father like he thinks he is – Adam’s dad is.
Heidi, Katz, Jo and The Stranger
Katz kills Heidi when she tries to escape her bakery. Katz works for a posh bloke called Powers, and is employed to investigate the person who is blackmailing Powers (The Stranger). Katz goes to Heidi, as she too has been blackmailed for £10,000, to get information on The Stranger. Heidi is being blackmailed because her daughter, Kitty, is a sugar baby, with one of her sugar daddies being Powers.
Jo connects to both of them, due to Heidi being her best friend and Katz being her colleague.
The football club, Price family and The Stranger
Okay, in short, The Stranger was hired by Bob at the football club to investigate Corrine, because Tripp (also from the club) convinced him she was going to blame Bob for the missing money. The Stranger only told Adam Price his wife faked the pregnancy when looking into Corrine for Bob, and after she discovered her and Adam were related. This is essentially what we’re told in The Stranger ending.
Tripp’s family and the Price family
Urrr, anyone else think it’s kind of awkward Tripp killed Thomas and Ryan’s mum, and Adam killed Tripp – Thomas’ best mate’s dad? That’s some serious therapy right there. Both events happened because of The Stranger revealing the fake pregnancy secret to Adam, which caused Corrine to think Tripp had been digging up dirt on her, to which she retaliated by saying he’d ran out of time to pay back the money lost in the football club. This ultimately caused her death. Which in turn, meant Adam went on this investigatory whirlwind hunting down The Stranger thinking she was connected to his wife’s disappearance, when it was Tripp all along.
And breathe.

Netflix's The Stranger's ending explained
Find out what happened at the end of The Stranger
February 12, 2020 - 19:55 GMT Emmy Griffiths
Was The Stranger some sort of fever dream that we all had at the same time? The bizarre (yet admittedly very gripping) adaptation of the Harlan Coben novel was a hit for Netflix, making the top ten most popular shows on the streaming service as fans flocked to social media to discuss theories how it might end. The mystery drama, which began with a missing woman, an alpaca head and a murder in a cake shop, wrapped up by revealing all of the answers to our questions. But for those who are still a little bewildered (frankly, aren't we all?), here is the ending of The Stranger explained…
What happened to Adam's wife?
To recap, all of the drama began after Adam was told by the Stranger that his wife had faked her pregnancy. Shortly after confronting Corrine, who tells him "there's more to this", she goes missing, texting him to tell him to leave her alone. In the finale, it is revealed that a family friend, Doug Tripp, had stolen money from their local football club and was discovered by Corrine, who gave him time to repay the money. However, he then employed the services of the Stranger to dig up information on Corrine that he might be able to use to blackmail her, which is why the Stranger found out information about the fake pregnancy.
After working out that it was Tripp who had tried to dig into Corinne's past to threaten her, she threatens to tell the truth about what happened to the club money. Tripp asks to meet her and kills her when she says she's going to the police, before sending a text from her phone to Adam to cover his tracks. Adam then kills Tripp in a rage, before being discovered by DS Johanna Griffin, who helps him cover up the crime, pinning it on Katz.
What was the deal with Katz?
It is revealed that dodgy police officer Katz murdered Heidi Doyle when he went to her for information about 'the Stranger', who he was being paid to track down on behalf of a wealthy client who was being blackmailed for using a 'sugar baby' website. Katz needed the extra money to pay for his daughter's healthcare, and goes into a rage when he discovers that she is actually being poisoned by his ex-wife in a case of Munchausen by proxy.
Who was the Stranger?
The Stranger was actually Christine Killane, Martin's daughter who grew up believing that her mother had abandoned her when she had actually been murdered by her father. She begins to track down information about people's lives to blackmail them, but also because she was hellbent on revealing secrets due to her family's own history. While looking into Corinne's family history on the job for Tripp, she discovers that Adam grew up on the same street that she did, and after a little research she finds out that Martin wasn't her biological father at all, and that she and Adam share the same dad. This was why she told Adam the truth about Corinne, without trying to solicit any money, because she wanted to help him out as her half-brother.
What happened to Dante Gunnarsson?
Dante was seen running naked through the woods before he was found knocked out cold. After spending most of the series in a coma, he comes around to say that he had wanted to go swimming with Daisy – hence the lack of clothes – but she had stolen them and ran away after thinking that Dante was trying to hit on her. He then fell and hit his head, and that was that.
Who leaked the photos of Daisy's little sister?
Daisy was so angry when she discovered that Mike had posted naked photos of her younger sister online (even though it wasn't actually her), that she spiked Mike with a drug, causing him to hallucinate and behead the alpaca. However, Mike didn't actually post the photos – it was Olivia, Katz's daughter.
