Mr. Mercedes has been renewed for a second season by the Audience Network.
Based on the trilogy of Stephen King books comprised of titles Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch, season 1 told the story of killer Brady Hartsfield who taunts a retired police detective named Bill Hoges (Brendan Gleeson) via a number of explicit emails and letters.
Mr. Mercedes season 1 has received favourable reviews from critics, including an 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and as such, AT&T’s Audience Network has decided to renew the show for a second season to continue the story and adaptation of King’s books.
David E. Kelley will be returning for writing duties, along with Jack Bender coming back to the director’s chair.

Kelley, Jack Bender, Dennis Lehane, and Sonar did a masterful job crafting a series that honored the original work by Stephen King. We’re excited to have the opportunity to create a second season with this incredible team.”
