Starring Zachary Quinto and Ashley Cummings, the show is executive produced by Jami O’Brien, who serves as showrunner, and Hill. AMC Studios in association with Tornante Television produces the series, which is handled internationally by AMC Studios Content Distribution.

“This otherworldy series makes remarkable work of Joe Hill’s spine-tingling novel, deftly helmed by Jami O’Brien and with captivating performances by Zachary Quinto and Ashley Cummings and the rest of the talented cast,” said David Madden, the president of programming at AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios. “NOS4A2 has kept viewers on the edge of their seats since its debut and we are ready to jump right back into this story for season two.”

“I am so excited for the opportunity to bring the rest of Joe Hill’s amazing novel to television,” said O’Brien. “Joe’s imagination is unparalleled. I love the characters and the world, and our colleagues at AMC have been wonderful partners. I’m grateful to be playing in the NOS4A2 sandbox.”
