Viewers of Dear Child wonder how Hannah recognized her grandfather, Matthias. However, neither the show nor the original book has ever clarified it.
Dear Child on Netflix, created by Isabel Kleefeld and Julian Pörksen, is a thriller series that tells a compelling story based on Romy Hausman‘s best-selling novel, Liebes Kind. The show follows Lena, who lives in full solitude and oversees two obedient children, Hannah and Jonathan, in a strictly controlled setting.
From meals to bedtime, everything in their world is methodically planned. However, after escaping a near-fatal vehicle accident, Lena finds herself in the hospital with Hannah by her side. This important event is only the start of an exciting adventure in which the past and present intersect, revealing dark secrets and hidden truths.
In episode 2 of the show, Hannah claims that Matthias is her grandfather. On the other hand, a lot of viewers have a common question: How did she recognize her grandfather? Well, we’ve got you covered.
Viewers Wonder How Hannah Recognized Her Grandfather in Dear Child!
Viewers started wondering how Hannah recognized her grandfather, Matthias, as soon as they were united in episode 2 of Dear Child. However, the show does not really describe how. As a result, we can assume it is still a mystery and we might have to wait for further seasons, if renewed, for clarification.

On the other hand, we also found that it has not been clarified in Romy Hausmann’s original book as well. Readers are still not convinced how Hannah was able to recognize her grandfather. They have even discussed it on GoodReads. One person wrote,
[Can anyone explain how Hannah recognized her grandfather if the trip to the garden was imaginary?
Another replied,
I wondered this too. I think it’s a flaw in the story. If they had had an actual conversation he would probably remembered that too.
Similarly, a third person replied,
I wondered this too. I think it’s a flaw in the story. If they had had an actual conversation he would probably remembered that too.
It appears the book never explained how they met and it is likely to happen in the Netflix series as well. However, we’ve previously witnessed multiple series changing the plot from the book. We’ve even seen shows explaining things books never addressed. As a result, there’s a chance Dear Child might clarify how Hannah recognized her grandfather. We can’t do anything but wait for the show to be renewed.
Will There Be Season 2 of Dear Child?
Season 1 of Dear Child premiered on Netflix on September 7, 2023. The first season consists of six episodes, each of which lasts around 50 minutes. On the same day, every episode of season 1 was made available on the streaming platform.
Critics gave the show mostly positive reviews and praised the actors’ performances and the series’ atmospheric thriller elements. However, the fact that Netflix has labeled the series as a mini-series will likely disappoint those hoping for a second season of the show. This will make it less likely to be renewed.

In the unlikely event that the show draws more viewers than Netflix anticipates, a new season might be ordered. Despite Netflix presenting the first season as a miniseries, a second season may be approved if the show is able to attract a sizable audience from all over the world and engage viewers.
The creators may adopt an anthology strategy for a potential second season by concentrating on a totally different case that is just as puzzling, dark, and evil as the first one.
After all, the show is a criminal thriller with a mystery and suspenseful investigative edge. The series might thus be continued in an anthology format from scratch with a gripping new story. Therefore, it seems unlikely that any of the primary cast members from season 1 would return for season 2, assuming it happens at all.
