On the eve of its Season 3 premiere, SundanceTV announced today that the critically-acclaimed drama series Rectify has been renewed for a fourth season. Season 4 will premiere in 2016, with an exact episode count yet to be determined.
"Even in an increasingly crowded field of dramas on television, Rectify has established itself as something special," said Charlie Collier, President of AMC and SundanceTV. "What Ray McKinnon, this incredible cast and everyone associated with the show have been able to achieve is remarkable, and we are so pleased to usher in this third season with an order for a fourth. Rectify has had such a huge impact in establishing SundanceTV as a home for high-quality, intelligent drama. We are excited to continue this important partnership with Ray and the entire team."
Season 3 of the drama picks up where Season 2 left off, on the afternoon of Daniel's plea deal. Will the deal be accepted? Will Daniel be forced to leave town? And when the body of a missing person is discovered, law enforcement once again turns to him for answers. As Daniel's sister Amantha attempts to live her own life, she is given an opportunity at a local store that for the first time in a long time has nothing to do with her brother. Meanwhile, Tawney and Ted Jr. struggle to see if their marriage has a future. Janet and Ted Sr., also under pressure from Daniel's actions, will find that their marriage is put to the test as well.
Rectify was created and written by Ray McKinnon, who executive produces with Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein.
The drama stars Aden Young, Abigail Spencer, J. Smith-Cameron, Luke Kirby, Clayne Crawford, Adelaide Clemens, Bruce McKinnon and Jake Austin Walker.
