Audience Network has ordered a second season of Mr Mercedes, based on Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy of novels.

David E. Kelley and Dennis Lehane will be scripting with Jack Bender directing, and Brendan Gleeson returning as Bill Hodges.

“I’m excited and thrilled,” said Kelley. “Stephen King, Dennis Lehane, Jack Bender, Brendan Gleeson… this is a special team indeed.”

“Mr. Mercedes is Stephen King writing about the monsters inside his characters rather than outside,” said Bender. “We were extremely fortunate to attract an amazing cast, led by Brendan Gleeson and Harry Treadaway, to bring these flawed, complex colorful characters to life. With Sonar and AT&T, along with great scripts and our talented team in Charleston, I am thrilled to keep telling this story.”

“We’re thrilled that the first installment of ‘Mr. Mercedes’ resonated with such a wide audience,” said Christopher Long, head of AT&T AUDIENCE Network. “David E. Kelley, Jack Bender, Dennis Lehane, and Sonar did a masterful job crafting a series that honoured the original work by Stephen King. We’re excited to have the opportunity to create a second season with this incredible team.”

The first season concludes on October 11; as yet, a British outlet has not been confirmed.
