Apple TV+ announced today that Sugar has been renewed for a second season. The news comes four months after the neo-noir thriller wrapped its 8-episode freshman run, which garnered a positive reception from both critics and viewers.

"It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace Sugar, and we are thrilled to return for a second season," said executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg. "We're so grateful to our partners at Apple for their support, our showrunner Sam Catlin, the brilliant Colin Farrell, and of course, our viewers. We can't wait to get John Sugar back on the case."

"Since its premiere, audiences have been gripped by the mysteries and twists of Sugar, with an incredible performance by Colin Farrell at the center," said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. "Colin, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon and the entire team behind this series have brilliantly blended genres to create a compelling, can't-miss series that keeps viewers guessing, and we cannot wait to see where Detective John Sugar finds himself in season two."

The series follows private investigator John Sugar, who is looking into the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar gets closer to uncovering what happened to Olivia, he also unearths recent and long-buried Siegel family secrets.

Season 2 will pickup after the events of the first season, with Sugar back in Los Angeles taking on another missing persons case as he continues to look for answers surrounding his missing sister.
