It’s only just premiered in the UK but Deep State, the new crime drama from FOX, has been confirmed for a second season.

The show stars Mark Strong as an ex-spy with a dark past, who is taken from his new life to return to the field and avenge his son’s death. Joe Dempsie plays the son, so this is chock full of British talent. There’s also covert opps, conspiracies and corruption

Diego Londono, COO of Fox Networks Group in Europe & Africa, said: “Matthew [Parkhill, co-creator, showrunner, writer and director] and the team at Endor have produced a brilliant and compelling new series for us, which has been getting tremendous feedback from both our pay TV partners and buyers alike.

“As audiences across the globe begin on their Deep State journey, we’re delighted to demonstrate our commitment to both this thrilling new drama and to commissioning regional stories that can entertain audiences around the world, in line with our rich Hollywood heritage.”

Anastasia Griffith, Karima McAdams and Alistair Petrie also star.

You can see the rest of season one on FOX UK at 9pm on Thursdays.
