Season 2 of 'Departure' Receives Premiere Date on Peacock

Peacock has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming second season of its original drama series Departure.







All 6 episodes of the second season will be available on Thursday, August 5.

The new season follows Kendra Malley as she's recruited to investigate a new transportation disaster - the derailment of an experimental high-speed train in rural Michigan. Pressure mounts for Kendra and her team to crack the puzzle as the small town reels in shock, and the world demands answers. Their investigation reveals a plethora of disconnected events and a range of potential suspects with believable motives: a disillusioned employee, a local anti-technology politician, the tech mogul who developed the train's software... and even a man with ties to a Mexican drug cartel. As she works to sort through the chaos, Kendra must reckon with the inner tension that emerges between the investigation and her emotions.

The drama stars Archie Panjabi, Jason O'Mara, Kris Holden-Ried, Karen LeBlanc, Donal Logue, Mark Rendall, Etienne Kellici, Kelly McCormack, Wendy Crewson, Charlie Carrick, Dion Johnstone, David Hewlett, Greg Bryk, Florence Ordesh and the late Christopher Plummer.

Stern, Matt Geller, Carlo Dusi, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, Chris Philip, Karine Martin and Ben Silverman.
