Season two of American Rust has a premiere date, and the crime drama has yet another outlet. Season one of the series debuted on Showtime in September 2021 and was cancelled in January 2022. Amazon Freevee saved the series and ordered a second season in June of that year. The show is now moving to Amazon’s Prime Video service.
Starring Jeff Daniels, Maura Tierney, Bill Camp, David Alvarez, Alex Neustaedter, Julia Mayorga, Mark Pellegrino, and Rob Yang, the series is based on the novel by Philipp Meyers. The story follows Del Harris (Daniels), the Chief of Police of a small Pennsylvania town, who finds his moral compass tested when the son of the woman he loves is involved in a murder. Luna Lauren Velez, Marc Menchaca, Nick Sandow, Britian Seibert, Christopher Denham, Amelia Workman, Leon Addison Brow, and Sara Lindsey are joining the cast for season two.
Prime Video revealed more about the series’ return in a press release.
Today, Prime Video announced the premiere date for American Rust: Broken Justice, the long-awaited second season of the compelling crime drama American Rust starring Emmy-winner Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom) and Golden Globe-winner Maura Tierney (The Affair). All 10 new episodes of Season Two will be available on March 28, 2024, exclusively on Prime Video in the U.S., UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. American Rust: Broken Justice will be a part of the savings, convenience, and entertainment that Prime members enjoy in a single membership.
American Rust: Broken Justice takes us back to the fictional small town of Buell, Pennsylvania. Del Harris (Daniels) and Grace Poe (Tierney) try to rebuild their lives after the harrowing events of Season One. Season Two picks up with a string of seemingly unrelated murders, hinting at a much larger conspiracy that threatens everyone in this small, tight-knit town.
Based on Philipp Meyer’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name, the first season of American Rust premiered on Showtime, exploring the tattered American Dream in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania through the eyes of police chief Del Harris. Harris becomes compromised when the son of the woman he loves (Tierney) is accused of murder, and he is forced to decide what he’s willing to do to protect him.
Returning from Season One are Daniels as Detective Del Harris, Tierney as Grace Poe, David Alvarez (West Side Story, 2021) as Isaac English, Alex Neustaedter (Colony) as Billy Poe, Julie Mayorga (Rare Objects) as Lee English, Mark Pellegrino (Supernatural) as Virgil Poe, Rob Yang (Succession) as Chief Steve Park, and Kyle Beltran (Inventing Anna) as Detective Fisher.”
