“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace ‘Sugar,’ and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg said in a statement to press. “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.”

Season 2 of the private detective drama will be run by showrunner Sam Catlin, who will also executive produce under his Short Drive Entertainment banner. Additionally, Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg executive produce for Genre Films under Kinberg’s overall deal with Apple TV+ with Farrell, Scott Greenberg and Chip Vucelich also serving as executive producers. “Sugar” is created by Mark Protosevich.
