The Purge has been renewed by USA Network for a second season, but NBC has cancelled Reverie.
With the first season of The Purge just concluded, USA has decided to continue the story. “USA Network is so proud to be the television home for the iconic franchise, The Purge,” Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment said. “The partnership and creative trust of Jason Blum and everyone at Blumhouse Television and Universal Pictures ensured The Purge‘s successful transition from film to TV – and, along with Universal Cable Productions, we look forward to digging even deeper into the mythology in Season 2.”
“James Demonaco has done it again: the propulsive and compelling story he crafted for Season 1 of The Purge truly resonated with audiences in a significant way,” added Jason Blum, founder of Blumhouse. “We are thrilled to embark on Season 2, and can’t wait to bring more of James’ vision to USA and fans of The Purge.”
However, Reverie wasn’t so lucky. Although the series was initially highly anticipated, it was pushed back to a summer release, and audience numbers never mounted up.
