The seduction will continue. Despite the fact that the Good Behavior TV show has some of the lowest ratings of any original scripted drama on TNT, this seductive thriller has been renewed for a second season. According to the cable channel, season two of Good Behavior will begin airing sometime during Fall 2017.
Here’s the TNT press release:
TNT Renews Seductive Thriller Good Behavior
Top 20 Cable Drama Charts Key Demo Growth Across First Season as Latest Data Shows Best Performance to Date with Adults 18-49
Turner’s TNT has ordered a second season of its hit drama series Good Behavior, starring award-winning actress Michelle Dockery. Juan Diego Botto, Terry Kinney and Lusia Strus also star in the seductive thriller, which is executive-produced by Chad Hodge and Blake Crouch and based on a series of books by Crouch. The entire first season of Good Behavior is currently available on TNT On Demand and TNT’s digital and mobile platforms. The second season is slated to launch in the fall.
In its first season, Good Behavior reached an average of 4.4 million viewers per episode across TNT’s linear, digital and mobile platforms and ranks as one of cable’s Top 20 new primetime dramas of 2016 with adults 18-49. Good Behavior has seen demo growth across its first season and just scored its biggest delivery of adults 18-49 yet, nearly 40% more than its premiere night. The drama has performed particularly well in VOD, mobile and digital, with on-demand viewing accounting for 15% of its total audience.
“Fueled by unsinkable characters on a dangerous search for belonging, love and family, Good Behavior is addictive television,” said Sarah Aubrey, EVP of original programming for TNT. “Millions of viewers have fallen hard for this sexy, complicated couple, and in season two, Letty and Javier will give us plenty more to obsess about.”
In addition to its ratings success, Good Behavior has drawn a great deal of critical praise from such outlets as The Hollywood Reporter, which said, “Good Behavior kicks off as maybe the best drama pilot TNT has produced since Southland,” with “a virtuoso performance from Michelle Dockery and the kind of intriguing loose ends that keep you wanting to come back.” And the LA Times called it, “…smart and suspenseful…a first-class Southern noir.”
Good Behavior tells the story of Letty Raines (Dockery), a thief and con artist whose life is always one wrong turn or one bad decision from implosion. Fresh out of prison, Letty tries to stay afloat; reunite with her 10-year-old son who is currently being raised by her mother Estelle (Strus); and show up for the mandatory check-ins with her parole officer Christian (Kinney), who carries his own demons which cause him to relate to Letty in a way that threatens his ability to do his job. Chaos returns to Letty’s life when she overhears a hitman (Botto) being hired to kill a man’s wife and decides to derail the job, entangling the pair in a complex and dangerously captivating relationship.
TNT’s Good Behavior is executive-produced by writer/showrunner Chad Hodge and author Blake Crouch, along with executive producers Marty Adelstein (Aquarius, Prison Break, Teen Wolf) and Becky Clements (Aquarius, Last Man Standing) of Tomorrow Studios, a partnership between ITV Studios and Marty Adelstein.

What do you think? Do you like the Good Behavior TV show on TNT? Are you glad it’s been renewed for a second season or, do you think it should have been cancelled instead?
Impressive acting job by Michelle Dockery, Juan Diego Botto, and the rest of this excellent cast. I enjoyed every episode, and eagerly anticipate season 2. If the writers can keep the plot of action and internal turmoil in high gear, there will likely be a season 3 and more. Good show .
Loved season 1, can’t wait for season two and hopefully several more seasons. Best show ever!!!
Love this show, so glad they brought it back for a 2nd season and hopefully more
Loved Good Behavior – so glad it’s coming back
Just turned on tv and saw main character and was hooked. I can’t wait to watch all of season 1.
My friends and I absolutely love Good Behavior!! We are so pleased that it was picked up for season 2 and we are certain it will be awesome!! We can hardly wait for the Season 2 premier!! It would be fantastic to have the network pick-up a broader audience so the possibility of season 3 could be realized!!. We just love Good behavior; it is the absolute best on TV!!! Thank you TNT for an excellent program!!
Love this show!!! My husband and I just watched the whole first season back to back from our recorded video. Cant wait for next season!!!!
My husband and I love the show. It has a little bit of everything and is written very well. Please, please don’t cancel it ever. There is nothing like this on TV.

I can not wait for this show to come back. It is one of the best, and surely different than the run of the mill formulas used for too many shows. The characters are so unique, and the acting is superb ! I do not fit into the age group stated in this article, my sister and I fall into the 65-70 category, and we love it, please keep it coming, would love for it to do many more seasons.
This is one of my favorite shows. I was so happy to know it is coming back. I’ve been catching up on the shows that are airing now. Please do not cancel this show.
Who would have thought Michelle had it in her. At first I was doubtful that she could pull this character off, boy very believable. Juan is so hot that the passion with them really radiates from the screen. Can’t wait to continue the journey with them. Loved it !!’
The promos attracted me, so I watched from the beginning. Good Behavior improved with every episode – I couldn’t wait for the next week! I’m very happy that season 2 is happening with the same cast, and looking forward to it.
I enjoyed the first season & can’t wait for the next season. I think the story line is exciting & the actors are great. Glad it’s coming back!
Don’t cancel it
