Brady Remains a Threat to Hodges in 'Mr. Mercedes' Season 2 Teaser
Between the international box office success of Stephen King's It and the hotly anticipated "King shared universe" anthology series Castle Rock set to bow on Hulu next month, the author's been having an amazing run of adaptations lately. AT&T/Audience Network's take on Mr. Mercedes would definitely be considered one of those successes, reaching audiences and critics alike; and earning the series a second season renewal before the end of its freshman season.
Based on "The Bill Hodges Trilogy" that also includes Finders Keepers and End of Watch and set to return to the AT&T/Audience Network on August 22, here your first look at the upcoming season as well as some behind the scenes thoughts on what viewers can expect:
Mr. Mercedes, Season 2 takes place a year after Brady Hartsfield's thwarted attempt to perpetrate a second mass murder in the community of Bridgton, Ohio. 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.
Written by television veterans David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies, Ally McBeal) and Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, The Drop, Live by Night) and directed by Jack Bender (Game of Thrones, Lost, Under the Dome), the second season will be based on Stephen King's best-selling Bill Hodges Trilogy, which includes, Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers and End of Watch.
Returning for the second season of Mr. Mercedes are Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter) as Detective Bill Hodges, Harry Treadaway (Penny Dreadful) as Brady Hartsfield, Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight) as Jerome Robinson, Scott Lawrence (Avatar) as Detective Peter Dixon, Breeda Wool (Unreal) as Lou Linklatter, Justine Lupe (Francis Ha) as Holly Gibney, Nancy Travis (How I Met Your Mother) as Donna Hodges, and Holland Taylor (The Truman Show) as Ida Silver.
Joining them this season are Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire) as Brady Hartsfield's doctor Dr. Felix Babineau, Tessa Ferrer (Grey's Anatomy) as Dr. Babineau's wife Cora Babineau, and Maximiliano Hernandez (Sicario) as Assistant DA Antonio Montez.
