Detective-themed drama Sugar, starring and executive produced by Colin Farrell, has been greenlit for a second season by Apple TV+. Dropping on the streaming service last April with one episode per week, Farrell is featured as John Sugar, a private investigator who in season one was recruited by a wealthy movie producer to investigate the disappearance of his granddaughter.

The ensemble cast for the first season of Sugar also featured Kirby, Amy Ryan, James Cromwell, Anna Gunn, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, Sydney Chandler, and Alex Hernandez.

“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace Sugar, and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg said in a statement. “We’re so grateful to our partners at Apple for their support, our showrunner Sam Catlin, the brilliant Colin Farrell, and of course, our viewers. We can’t wait to get John Sugar back on the case.”

“Since its premiere, audiences have been gripped by the mysteries and twists of Sugar, with an incredible performance by Colin Farrell at the center,” noted Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Colin, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon and the entire team behind this series have brilliantly blended genres to create a compelling, can’t-miss series that keeps viewers guessing, and we cannot wait to see where Detective John Sugar finds himself in season two.”

Following an unexpected twist in season one, season two of Sugar will see Farrell’s John Sugar back in Los Angeles taking on another missing person's case, as he continues to look for answers surrounding his missing sister.

Season two of Sugar will be showrun by Sam Catlin, who will also executive produce under his Short Drive Entertainment banner. Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg executive produce for Genre Films. Farrell, Scott Greenberg and Chip Vucelich also serve as executive producers.

Eight episodes were produced for season one of Sugar. There is no confirmation at press time on the number of episodes ordered for season two.
