'Mr. Mercedes': Everything we know so far and what to expect from season 2

With the season 2 premiere of Audience Network's 'Mr. Mercedes' around the corner, we take you through an all-you-need-to-know guide with what to expect in the new season.

The Stephen King fever continues! After wrapping up a successful first season last year, tomorrow marks the premiere of season 2 of 'Mr. Mercedes' on AT&T's Audience Network. The show is an adaptation of the famous 'Bill Hodges' trilogy by King. Returning for the second season will be David E. Kelley ('Big Little Lies') to write the script, and Jack Bender ('Under the Dome') will be in the director's seat yet again. King, Kelley, and Bender will also continue to serve as executive producers, along with Dennis Lehane, who will also contribute to the scripts.

While season 1 saw Detective Bill Hodges go toe-to-toe with psychopathic mass murderer Brady Hartsfield, season 2 promises to bring us into an “eerier, more gothic world.” Picking up a year after Brady Hartsfield’s thwarted attempt to perpetrate a second mass murder in the community of Bridgton, Ohio, the new season takes a darker, creepier turn as we enter the mind of the serial killer for a roller-coaster ride of a lifetime.
