Sundance Now Boards Riviera Season Two

AMC Networks’ Sundance Now has come aboard season two of the crime drama Riviera.

The new season will be available to stream on Sundance Now in 2019. Belgian director Hans Herbots (Rellik) returns as lead director, and Sue Howells is attached as series producer for season two.

Joining the cast for season two is Alex Lanipekun (Homeland, The Borgias, 24), as well as the previously announced Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply), Poppy Delevingne (Kingsman: The Golden Circle), Jack Fox (Dracula) and Grégory Fitoussi (World War Z). They join returning cast members Julia Stiles, Lena Olin, Roxane Duran and Dimitri Leonidas.

Riviera is a Sky original production in association with Altice Studios. Sky Vision handles international distribution.

Jan Diedrichsen, general manager of SundanceTV and Sundance Now, said: “We are delighted to welcome a second season of Riviera to Sundance Now.  It is an addictive series with a compelling narrative, a gorgeous setting and an all-star cast—it’s no wonder that season one resonated with our members in such a powerful way.”

Stiles said, “It’s thrilling to return to the Riviera and to welcome such incredible new talent to the show. Georgina’s past catches up to her in season two and the drama only intensifies. She is reunited with her mysterious yet charming uncle, someone who sees through her armor. Will is perfectly cast in that role and I am excited to explore how far Georgina will go to protect her new life.”
