Can we get a “hell yeah”? USA Network has renewed interview series “Straight Up Steve Austin” for a second season, TheWrap has learned exclusively.
Season 2 will consist of eight half-hour episodes and is set to premiere in Summer 2020. “Straight Up Steve Austin” is produced by Line by Line Media. Retired WWE Superstar “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, a legend in the pro-wrestling world, and Dave Barsky (“Dirty Jobs”) are executive producers.
“Straight Up Steve Austin” was 2019’s highest-rated new unscripted cable series among men 18-49 and men 25-54, according to Nielsen’s Live + 3 Day ratings data. That metric counts 72 hours of (mostly) DVR viewing, and is a very common way of judging prerecorded entertainment series — especially on cable.
