Based loosely around the Douglas Adam novel, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency headed to television last year, with a successful maiden series. It was a co-production between BBC America and Netflix, and whilst not without a few problems, the news of a season two renewal was appreciated.

The second season is set to run for ten episodes, an increase over the eight that the programme’s maiden run enjoyed. What’s more, the wraps are set to come off season two a little, as it’s been confirmed that Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is heading to San Diego Comic-Con later this month.

Whilst still in production, the cast of season two – Elijah Wood, Samuel Barnett, Hannah Marks, Jade Eshete, Fiona Dourif, Mpho Koaho, Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine – are scheduled to talk about the show on Sunday 23rd July in Hall H at the event. Kevin Smith will moderate the panel, that will also include the show’s creator, Max Landis, and its showrunner, Robert Cooper.

A sneak preview of the second season is expected to form part of the panel. Here’s the official description of it that’s been released…

Inspired by Douglas Adams’ (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who) acclaimed novel and from the studio of The Walking Dead, WIRED says the BBCA original series “has all the makings of a new cult favorite” and The Hollywood Reporter says it’s “a fun, absurdist story that will have loads of weird twists and turns.” Season one is available to binge on BBCAmerica.com, BBC America App and On Demand from July 1-31. Season two premieres this fall on BBC AMERICA.
