Colin Farrell will return as private investigator John Sugar as Apple TV+ has renewed Sugar for a second season.
Sugar‘s first season saw Farrell’s John Sugar being hired to find a missing person from a rich and important Hollywood family, uncovering several secrets regarding the family’s shady history along the way. The series was created by Mark Protosevich who also served as co-showrunner alongside Simon Kinberg.
The second season will see a change in showrunners as producer Sam Catlin will showrun the new season. While Apple did not reveal much of what the second season will be about, it will see Sugar on another missing persons case while continuing to search for his lost sister. Catlin will executive produce alongside Farrell, Kinberg, Audrey Chon, Scott Greenberg and Chip Vucelich.
“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace Sugar, and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” said Chon and Kinberg. “We’re so grateful to our partners at Apple for their support, our showrunner Sam Catlin, the brilliant Colin Farrell, and of course, our viewers. We can’t wait to get John Sugar back on the case.”
“Since its premiere, audiences have been gripped by the mysteries and twists of Sugar, with an incredible performance by Colin Farrell at the center,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Colin, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon and the entire team behind this series have brilliantly blended genres to create a compelling, can’t-miss series that keeps viewers guessing, and we cannot wait to see where Detective John Sugar finds himself in season two.”
Sugar is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history: the private detective story. Academy Award-nominee Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long-buried.
Sugar stars Colin Farrell, Kirby (The Sandman), Amy Ryan (The Wire), James Cromwell (Succession), Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Dennis Boutsikaris (Better Call Saul), Nate Corddry (Mindhunter), Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling) and Alex Hernandez (Invasion).
