'Parish' Season 2 Update: Here's the renewal status for AMC's crime drama series
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: AMC's crime drama series, 'Parish', which is based on the BBC One series 'The Driver', has captivated viewers with its gripping narrative and compelling characters.
The series revolves around Gracián 'Gray' Parish (Giancarlo Esposito), a former criminal who has left his past behind to prioritize his family. However, circumstances force him to return to the criminal world.
The last episode of 'Parish,' titled 'A Good Man,' was released on Sunday, May 5, 2024, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.
Is ‘Parish' Season 2 in the works?
As of now, AMC has not officially renewed 'Parish' for a second season, leaving fans uncertain about the show's future. However, the conclusion of Season 1 left several intriguing loose threads that could be further explored in a potential Season 2.
One such thread is the mention of a mysterious 'man in Chicago,' whose identity and connection to Gray and the criminal underworld remain shrouded in mystery.
Additionally, Colin Broussard's (Skeet Ulrich) decision to collaborate with law enforcement to dismantle the Tongai crime family opens up a host of possibilities for new storylines in Season 2.
Viewers are yet to uncover the complete story behind Gray's criminal background, hinting that there is much more to be revealed in a potential Season 2.
On the possibility of the second season's return, Giancarlo Esposito said in an interview with TV Line, "I love Ryan Maldonado and Eduardo Canto, our showrunners and writers. We have conversations about what Season 2 could hold ahead of a positive pickup, and we’re hopeful and inviting for that to happen."
He further added, "We’re talking about all of these loose ends and how we bring another very powerful season of Parish to our audience."
Considering Esposito's affirmative statement and the unresolved plotlines from the first season, the likelihood of 'Parish' Season 2 appears high.
What could the ‘Parish’ Season 2 plot be?
In 'Parish' Season 2, viewers can anticipate further exploration of Gray's character and his journey through the criminal underworld.
Additionally, the fallout from the events of Season 1, including Gray's confrontation with The Horse and his actions against Anton, is expected to have far-reaching consequences in Season 2.
The mysterious 'man in Chicago' is also likely to play a significant role, with his true identity and motives potentially being revealed.
It is possible that the man in Chicago could have a significant impact on Gray's life, and there may even be a potential connection to his son's murder.
There could be an intense conflict between Colin and the Tongai family, especially considering Colin's new alliance with the police. As Colin works to bring down the Tongais from within, he is likely to face resistance and retaliation from the family.
