Season one of Apple TV+’s genre-blending drama Sugar ended with the lead character deciding not to return home and instead sticking around to hunt down a rogue compatriot. (Keeping it vague for those who haven’t yet watched season one.) Now, Apple TV+ has confirmed fans will get the opportunity to spend more time with the film-loving detective played by Colin Farrell, renewing the series for a second season.
“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace Sugar, and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” stated executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg. “We’re so grateful to our partners at Apple for their support, our showrunner Sam Catlin, the brilliant Colin Farrell, and of course, our viewers. We can’t wait to get John Sugar back on the case.”
In addition to Oscar nominee Colin Farrell, the season one cast included Kirby, Amy Ryan, James Cromwell, Anna Gunn, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, Sydney Chandler, and Alex Hernandez. Given the events of season one, many of the first season’s stars won’t be returning for the new season.
“Since its premiere, audiences have been gripped by the mysteries and twists of Sugar, with an incredible performance by Colin Farrell at the center,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Colin, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon, and the entire team behind this series have brilliantly blended genres to create a compelling, can’t-miss series that keeps viewers guessing, and we cannot wait to see where Detective John Sugar finds himself in season two.”
Apple TV+ released this description of the series: “Starring and executive produced by Farrell, Sugar is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture and television history: the private detective story. After the events of season one, season two will see Sugar back in Los Angeles, taking on another missing persons case as he continues to look for answers surrounding his missing sister.”
Sam Catlin will serve as the season two showrunner and executive produce under his Short Drive Entertainment banner. Additional executive producers include Scott Greenberg, Chip Vucelich, and Genre Films’ Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg. Mark Protosevich created the series.
