UPDATED AUG 21, 2018

AT&T’s Audience Network is bringing the Stephen King adaptation 'Mr. Mercedes' back for a second season this Wednesday (22 August). While the first season faithfully translated the hard-boiled crime thriller to the small screen, season 2 promises to bring us into an “eerier, more gothic world”.

The show, which is executive produced by King himself is based on his famous 'Bill Hodges Trilogy', with the first season adapted from the first book of the same name. The new season, which is based on the final book of the trilogy, 'End of Watch', retains most of its star-studded cast, which includes the likes of Brendan Gleeson (as Detective Bill Hodges), Harry Treadaway (as Brady Hartsfield), Jharrel Jerome (as Jerome Robinson), Scott Lawrence as Detective Peter Dixon, Breeda Wool (as Lou Linklatter), Nancy Travis (as Donna Hodges), and Holland Taylor (as Ida Silver).
