Telly’s Take

Season two of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency premiered to much lower ratings than its freshman outing but they have remained pretty consistent. As long as the talent wants to continue, I suspect the series will be renewed for a third season. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments.
