Will there be a season 2 of Hollywood on Netflix?
There's no confirmation just yet on whether we can expect a second season of Ryan Murphy's Hollywood. However, the producer has expressed interest in revisiting the series.

Who could star in a second season of Hollywood?
If Hollywood were to be renewed for a second season, it seems likely that many of the cast members would return, especially given Murphy's comments about how much he enjoyed working with them.

Samara Weaving would also be likely to reprise her role as up and coming actress Claire Wood, given her sweeping romance with Jack in the first season.
