WGN America, Sony Pictures Television’s networks, and Canada’s CTV have renewed the comedy procedural series “Carter” for a second season. The series stars Jerry O’Connell, Sydney Poitier Heartsong and Kristian Bruun. Andy Berman (Psych, Rosewood) joins “Carter” as Showrunner and Executive Producer for its sophomore season, which will return to North Bay, Ontario to commence production this spring. Series creator Garry Campbell (Kids in The Hall, MADtv) returns as an executive producer and writer on the series.
“Carter and Jerry O’Connell are beloved by viewers and critics alike,” said Gavin Harvey, President of WGN America. “This show is the perfect mix of procedural drama and witty comedy, and we look forward to seeing how its story further unfolds.”
Carter revolves around Harley Carter (O’Connell), the star of a hit detective TV show, who decides he needs a break from Hollywood and returns to his northern hometown where he quickly discovers that his years of playing a fictional detective come in handy when he finds himself immersed in real-life mysteries. In season two, Carter plants roots as a celebrity PI and doubles down on his fame in a world where life continues to imitate TV. But Carter will discover that the toughest cases to solve are personal ones when he finds himself embroiled in a love triangle with his best friend and her new boss, where the stakes are winner takes all.
