“Memory Of A Killer” Renewed For A Second Season
One of FOX’s biggest hits of the year so far is “Memory Of A Killer”, which is FOX’s most-streamed series to date and the biggest premiere of the year, with 16.2 million viewers across platforms and encores.
Based on that success, FOX has announced that the show has been renewed for a second season and with Disney’s multi-year next day deal with FOX, it’ll also be coming to Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States.
Inspired by the book and 2003 award-winning Belgian film “De Zaak Alzheimer,” “Memory of A Killer” is a dramatic thriller starring Emmy nominee Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Dexter: Original Sin,” “Ferrari”) as a hitman, Angelo Doyle, leading a dangerous double life while hiding an even deadlier personal secret. Emmy winner Michael Imperioli (“The White Lotus,” “The Sopranos”) stars opposite Dempsey in the role of Dutch, Angelo’s oldest friend and an accomplished chef whose restaurant is a front for criminal enterprise.
The series also stars Richard Harmon as Joe, a hitman; Odeya Rush as Maria, Angelo’s daughter; Daniel David Stewart as Jeff, Maria’s husband; Peter Gadiot as Dave, a local police detective and Gina Torres as Special Agent Linda Grant.
“Memory of a Killer” is produced by Warner Bros. Television and FOX Entertainment. Executive producers include Aaron Zelman, Glenn Kessler, Ed Whitmore, Tracey Malone, Cathy Schulman, David Schulner and series star Patrick Dempsey. Arthur Sarkissian and Martin Campbell are also executive producers, along with Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks.
Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network said in a statement regarding the renewal:
“Memory of a Killer has become a true standout with visceral performances from Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli. Aaron Zelman, Glenn Kessler, and our partners at Warner Bros. Television have delivered a sharp, emotional character-driven thriller that’s clearly landed with viewers, and we’re excited to continue that success together in Season Two.”
Channing Dungey (Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks added:
“We’re thrilled Fox has renewed Memory of a Killer for a second season, a richly deserved renewal given the show’s great critical, creative, and commercial success. The performances of Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli have been powerful and compelling, and we can’t wait to see what the show’s brilliant creative team has in store for Angelo’s next chapter.”
