The saga continues. Variety reports AMC has renewed the TV series The Son for a second season.
Based on the novel by Philipp Meyer, the historical drama traces the rise and fall of a wealthy Texas family. The cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Jacob Lofland, Henry Garrett, Shane Graham, Elizabeth Frances, and Nick Stevenson.
The Son premiered in April to pretty mediocre ratings and the numbers have continued to fall over the course of its first season. Currently, season one is averaging a .17 in the 18-49 demo and 1.546 million viewers.
However, while live-plus-same-day ratings are low, The Son is reportedly averaging 2.3 million viewers in delayed viewing each week, making it the number one original cable drama on Saturday nights.
From AMC:
‘The Son’ proudly continues our Westerns tradition at AMC, including ‘Broken Trail,’ ‘Hell on Wheels’ and decades of films from The Duke, Clint and so many more. We are so pleased to add to that list another season of our original, multi-generational drama from Philipp Meyer, Kevin Murphy and a remarkable cast led by the incomparable Pierce Brosnan. It’s our longstanding mission to super-serve Westerns fans on weekends and we look forward to continuing this epic next year. Welcome home, Son.”
this article told us everything except when to expect The Son to air and am I correct in understanding that it will be shown on AMC on Saturday night?

excellent story recommend at least three seasons!
We have been waiting a year for Season 2. When is it going to start?
This is a great show. You should have renewed it for 3 more seasons.
I like this series. The flashback feature is great with the “Comanche Experience”. I record the episodes and watch later so I can flip through the commercials. There;s just too many of them.

This is a great show, we really love the story and the characters.
Shows should continue based on quality not just ratings.
Please keep THE SON coming.
Love this show, it give a look into life during settlement. Shows the challenges, loses, heartbreak, and gains from every point. I don’t not purchase tv shows on Vudu, but I did this one. Keep this series rolling!
Really enjoy The Son, captivating, interesting watching Eli grow up through the trials of childhood and surviving to success, only to possibly lose it all having to start over based on his honorable convictions of right and wrong. Looking forward to episode 10 and season 2.
