“Patriot,” Amazon’s political dark comedy about an intelligence operative, has been renewed for a second season, TheWrap has learned.
The show stars Michael Dorman as John Tavner, an intelligence officer who has to go over to Iran to prevent it from going nuclear. In order to maintain his cover, he takes a job at a Midwestern industrial piping firm.
“Patriot” also stars Terry O’Quinn, Kurtwood Smith, Katherine Munroe, Aliette Opheim, and Michael Chernus.
The show explores “lesser known, unglamorous aspects of life as an intelligence officer,” according to an official Amazon description. It’s is less about spying, the thriller aspects, or the political intrigue that comes with the job, but rather about the distractions from that and the interpersonal relationships between the characters.
