Today, AMC has - a little bit unexpectedly - renewed drama series Turn for a 10-episode second season. Production on new episodes will begin later this year for a premiere in Spring 2015. Furthermore, encores of the first season will run alongside the new season of Hell on Wheels on Saturday nights this summer, in some kind of attempt to find new viewers.
"Craig Silverstein, Barry Josephson and a talented cast and crew delivered a truly distinctive and engaging premiere season. We look forward to continuing this revolutionary journey into season two," said Charlie Collier, AMC President. "AMC and its creative partners have a track record of nurturing programs we collectively believe in, patiently growing viewership and engagement over time. With Turn, once again, we dive in with our partners to build upon this very promising first season.
Turn stars Jamie Bell, Seth Numrich, Daniel Henshall, Heather Lind, Kevin R. McNally, Meegan Warner, Burn Gorman, Angus MacFadyen, JJ Feild and Samuel Roukin.
