The season three premiere of the award-winning series Rectify is set for July 9, 2015 at 10pm ET/PT and prior to its airing SundanceTV has already confirmed it’s committed to a fourth season of the drama series. The network has ordered a fourth season which will air in 2016 as just announced by Charlie Collier, President of AMC and SundanceTV.
“Even in an increasingly crowded field of dramas on television, Rectify has established itself as something special,” stated Collier. “What Ray McKinnon, this incredible cast and everyone associated with the show have been able to achieve is remarkable, and we are so pleased to usher in this third season with an order for a fourth. Rectify has had such a huge impact in establishing SundanceTV as a home for high-quality, intelligent drama. We are excited to continue this important partnership with Ray and the entire team.”
Rectify was created by Ray McKinnon and stars Aden Young, Abigail Spencer, J. Smith-Cameron, Luke Kirby, Clayne Crawford, Adelaide Clemens, Bruce McKinnon, and Jake Austin Walker.
The Plot:
Rectify follows the life of Daniel Holden (Young), who returns to his small hometown in Georgia after serving 19 years on death row. Having spent his entire adult life waiting to die, Daniel must now try to find a way to cope with his past and forge a “normal” life with a future before him. His struggle affects everyone whom he comes in contact with, from his very fractured family, to those working to protect him and those working against him on the side of law and order, and those in his hometown.
Season three of the hour-long drama picks up where season two left off, on the afternoon of Daniel’s plea deal. Will the deal be accepted? Will Daniel be forced to leave town? And when the body of a missing person is discovered, law enforcement once again turns to him for answers.
As Daniel’s sister Amantha (Spencer) attempts to live her own life, she is given an opportunity at a local store that for the first time in a long time has nothing to do with her brother. Meanwhile, Tawney (Clemens) and Ted Jr. (Crawford) struggle to see if their marriage has a future. Janet (Cameron) and Ted Sr. (Bruce McKinnon), also under pressure from Daniel’s actions, will find that their marriage is put to the test as well.
