Season Three Renewal for Mr. Mercedes

AT&T AUDIENCE Network has renewed Mr. Mercedes, based on the Stephen King trilogy, for a third season that will launch in 2019.

Sonar Entertainment produces the show, with David E. Kelley showrunning and Jack Bender as director. Production on the ten-episode third season commences in Charleston, South Carolina, early next year. In addition to King, Kelley and Bender, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey of Temple Hill Entertainment, Tom Lesinski and Jenna Santoianni of Sonar Entertainment, and Shane Elrod and Kate Regan of AT&T AUDIENCE Network will continue to serve as executive producers.

“Stephen King breaking story, Brendan Gleeson heading the cast, Jack Bender leading the charge…I’m excited,” said Kelley. “I am extremely proud of our show,” added Bender, “and I couldn’t be more excited to continue unraveling this story with Stephen King, David E. Kelley and our superlative cast led by Brendan Gleeson.”

“Mr. Mercedes has resonated with such a wide audience, so we’re thrilled to bring it back for a third season for our customers,” said Daniel York, senior executive VP and chief content officer for AT&T. “David E. Kelley, Jack Bender and Sonar have crafted a series that honors the original work by Stephen King and we can’t wait to see where they take the show in a ‘post-Mr. Mercedes world.'”

“AT&T AUDIENCE Network has been a great partner and we are delighted to continue this journey with them,” said Tom Lesinski, CEO of Sonar Entertainment. “We look forward to the new storylines the outstanding creative team will be developing.”
