USA has renewed its first original scripted comedy series Sirens created by Denis Leary and Bob Fisher for a 13-episode second season. The series stars Michael Mosley, Kevin Daniels, Kevin Bigley, Jessica McNamee and Josh Segarra. Production will begin later this year for a 2015 debut.
"Sirens resonated with a broad fan base, and we are excited to grow this new audience further, as season two promises a lot more laughs and irreverent humor," said USA Network President Chris McCumber. "We're pleased to continue our partnership with Denis Leary and Bob Fisher, whose unique brand of witty, off-kilter and laugh-out-loud writing is brought to life by the immensely talented cast."
Sirens follows the ridiculous and rowdy antics of EMTs Johnny (Mosley), Hank (Daniels) and Bryan (Bigley) and police officers Theresa (McNamee) and Billy (Segarra). Throughout season one, they tackled everything while on the job; from heart attack victims and gunshot wounds to ambulance chasers and doppelgangers, all in life-threatening situations. Personally, things were equally outlandish, between Johnny's inability to commit to Theresa, Hank's unsteady relationship with his ex and Brian's over-eagerness and general naiveté.
Season one guest stars included Lenny Clarke, Jean Smart, Loretta Devine, Nora Dunn and John Scurti.
Sirens is produced by Fox Television Studios and Apostle, in conjunction with Daybreak Pictures. Leary and Jim Serpico serve as executive producers for Apostle, along with Fisher. Hal Vogel, David Aukin and David Leach of Daybreak Pictures also executive produce. The series is filmed on location in Chicago.
