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?
When the story line and characters are so offbeat and not “cookie-cutter” like so many on TV these days, I always wonder whether it will be picked up for another season. I’m very happy that Good Behavior will be back in the Fall 2017 line up!
I really like this show and everyone I tell about it they watch it and get hooked. You need to advertise it. I found it by accident.
I LOVE this series! I was hooked from the beginning! Mind you, I HATE watching regular television but this is sassy, intelligent, and addicting…finely tuned characters with quirks galore, it has all the essentials to keep me wanting more.
Awesome series, binged all ten episodes in an afternoon and evening. Thrilled it’s been renewed but hate having to wait til fall. Haven’t been this addicted since Shameless. Thanks TNT.
One of the better adult shows, a huge thank you to TNT for recognizing the talent of Michelle Dockery. Watched her loved Michelle Dockery in Downton Abbey and can’t wait to see what she will be doing in television and the movies. Cast of Good Behavior is incredible, and amazing. Hope this series will be around for a long duration.
Really pleased to hear it’s been renewed. Michelle Dockery deserves an award nomination and so does Juan Diego. Loved Southland too, but, apparently not enough others did.
My friends and I absolutely love Good Behavior with Michelle Dockery & Juan Diego Botto. We do not miss a single episode!! It’s TV at it’s very best. Thanks TNT for excellent programming!!
Fabulous story line. Michelle Dockery plays the part so well. And we also love Javier. Look to watch it for many seasons to come.
I was instantly hooked since the first episode. Can’t wait for the second season! Get all your friends and co-workers hooked too, great thriller.
I loved the show. Told everyone to check it out. Glad it is getting a chance. Tell your friends. Letty is great!
We love this show. Several of my friends get together to watch it. Hope it never goes off the air.
When does season II start? My husband and I enjoyed the show very much.
I really enjoyed this show and am thrilled it’s being renewed. Can’t wait for the new season.
Yes! Second season please! Love this show!
Have there been any episodes shown in season 2 yer?
Apparently not,….all I see so far is “Fall 2017”.
