Disney+'s Hawkeye; Netflix's The Eddy; and USA's Dirty John.
USA's DIRTY JOHN
- Amanda Peet and Christian Slater will star in the upcoming second season of the anthology series - now titled Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story. Peet has appeared in all three seasons of IFC's Brockmire. Slater currently stars in USA's Mr. Robot, which returns for its fourth and final season next month.
- Beginning in the 1960s and spanning a couple decades, the story follows Betty (Peet) and Dan Broderick (Slater). After years of sacrifice and suffering while supporting Dan through both medical and law school, Betty is finally enjoying the fruits of their labors after Dan becomes a superstar in the San Diego legal community. Until, that is, he hires Linda, a bright and beautiful young woman with whom he can forget the struggles of his past. Betty's attempts to fight back and refusal to accept reality only serve to isolate and destabilize her - to the point where she loses her identity. Dan's cold confidence, meanwhile, blinds him to the bear he won't stop poking until it's too late.
- The new season has also announced a slate of all female directors, with Maggie Kiley serving the production as a co-executive producer and director of four episodes - including the premiere and finale. The other directors for season two include Kat Candler, Meera Menon, Shannon Kohli and series creator Alexandra Cunningham, making her directorial debut.
