Telly’s Take
The ratings are terrible so I’m sure there won’t be a second season. The series is billed as a “limited series” which is supposed to indicate that a season has a pre-determined number of episodes but could have multiple seasons (versus a mini-series which is one season and completely close-ended). If the ratings were stronger, perhaps the network would make a second season with a different story and/or cast (ala FX’s American Horror Story or ABC’s American Crime). In any case, I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Red Line cancellation or renewal news.
