AT&T AUDIENCE Network Sets MR. MERCEDES Season 2 Premiere Date

MR. MERCEDES will returns for its second season on Wednesday, August 22, AT&T AUDIENCE Network announced.

The series, based on Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy, takes place a year after the first season—and Brady Hartsfield’s (Harry Treadaway) botched attempt at a second mass murder. Per AT&T AUDIENCE Network, “since the incident, Hartsfield has been hospitalized in a vegetative state. Retired Detective Bill Hodges has done his best to move on from his Brady obsession, teaming up with Holly Gibney to open Finders Keepers, a private investigative agency. But when unexplainable occurrences begin to affect hospital staff members attending to Brady, Hodges is haunted by the feeling that Brady is somehow responsible.”

New cast members in season 2 include Jack Huston, Tessa Ferrer, and Maximiliano Hernandez. Brendan Gleeson, Treadaway, Jharrel Jerome, Scott Lawrence, Breeda Wool, Justine Lupe, Nancy Travis, and Holland Taylor will reprise their season 1 roles.
