Acorn TV has renewed the murder mystery series 'You're Killing Me' for a second season, the network announced on Thursday during an ATX Television Festival panel in Austin, Texas. The show stars Brooke Shields, Amalia Williamson and Tom Cavanagh.
Season two will again consist of six hour-long episodes set in the fictional Maine town of Founder's Cove. Production is scheduled to begin later this year.
Brooke Shields expressed her excitement about the renewal, saying she is 'crazy happy' to continue the series. She praised the collaboration with creator Robin Bernheim and her co-stars, promising to 'deliver the show you all fell in love with'.
Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer for AMC Global Media and President of AMC Studios, called the series a 'breakout hit' for Acorn TV, noting it became the platform's number one series launch of all time.
The first season follows bestselling novelist Allie (Shields) who teams up with aspiring writer Andi (Williamson) to solve the murder of a close friend. Cavanagh plays Jack, the new police detective adjusting to small-town life.
'You're Killing Me' is created by Robin Bernheim and is a co-production between Shaftesbury and Topsail Entertainment. Season one is currently streaming on Acorn TV, with new episodes airing weekly until the finale on June 22.
