It centers on a retiring university literature professor who begins interfering with some of her police detective son\u2019s cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m so thankful to the Acorn TV audience, the press and my incredible fans for making season one of <em>Harry Wild<\/em> such a success,\u201d Seymour said. \u201cI was thrilled when I heard how well the show performed. I absolutely love playing Harry. I can&#8217;t wait to get back into production and bring everyone eight more Harry and Fergus-filled episodes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew this series was special from the beginning and could not be more thrilled by the response of Acorn TV viewers to this first season of <em>Harry Wild<\/em> and to see the remarkable Jane Seymour leading and producing a thrilling murder mystery on our platform,\u201d said Matt Graham, general manager of Acorn TV. \u201cThis series had the most successful premiere week in our history and is already our most-watched single season for 2022, just three months after it arrived. We could not be more excited by the prospect of a second season from Jane and this talented creative team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During its TCA Press Tour presentation, AMC Networks revealed it has cast Tatiana Maslany in the psychological thriller\u00a0Invitation to a Bonfire and renewed the hit Acorn TV show Harry Wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1467,4938],"class_list":["post-17340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amc-networks","tag-harry-wild","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>AMC Networks Casts Psychological Thriller, Renews Harry Wild - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AMC Networks Casts Psychological Thriller, Renews Harry Wild - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"During its TCA Press Tour presentation, AMC Networks revealed it has cast Tatiana Maslany in the psychological thriller\u00a0Invitation to a Bonfire and renewed the hit Acorn TV show Harry Wild.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-11T13:00:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-08-11T14:19:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/AMCNetworksLogo-0222.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"589\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"314\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/\",\"name\":\"AMC Networks Casts Psychological Thriller, Renews Harry Wild - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-08-11T13:00:23+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-08-11T14:19:30+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/amc-networks-casts-thriller-renews-harry-wild\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"AMC Networks Casts Psychological Thriller, Renews Harry Wild\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
