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.

Dockery as Letty is terrific! She never gives up. Good life lesson. I admired the ending of the season finale with the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, “Your genuine action means everything, your conformity means nothing.
LOVE Dockery/Letty. She never gives up. Good life lesson. I much admired that the finale ended with the quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson “genuine actions mean everything, conformity means nothing.”
I watched all 10 episodes over the weekend and can’t agree more with everyone else’s comments. Love it!!! Michelle Dockery is an amazing actress Including Javier her partner in crime. The whole cast does a fabulous job, including little Jake. I love how it’s like a movie, each episode continues from the last.
So happy there will be a 2nd season. Thank you, something to look forward to. Ha
absolutely love this show. I first saw it on youtube as a commercial in a ad before the video came on. and I made fun of it cuz I’m like really an hour long preview and my youtube vid is only 5 min long….well then the second time I watched a lil more…. then the third time I’m like what the hell and I love it. I hope they don’t change a thing on this its awesome.
I LOVE this show! So glad that it’s being given a second season…Michelle Dockery is incredible and the relationship beween she and Javier…sexy times 10!
The show is incredibly written and acted. Absolutely love it. The best I’ve seen since Breaking Bad!!!! You must check it out!!!
Loved it and realized what a deversified actress Michelle Dockery is. Wish I did not have to wait till fall for the next season to begin.
My husband and I BOTH love this exciting, twisty, sexy, program. He is pro Letty and I’m smitten by Javier….So happy for renewal !!
I am so happy there will be a season 2. I was afraid when watching the season finale that it would not be continued. Soooooo happppy
I wish viewers didn’t have to wait until fall 2017 for start of season two. The episode where Javiers father gave his dinner speech had me so mad I almost forgot it was television and wanted to punch the screen. Thanks TNT for renewing.
