Turn attracted so much attention on AMC that the network has given the Revolutionary War drama an order for a second season. Season one consisted of 10 episodes and averaged 2 million viewers, with 2.2 million viewers tuning in to watch the finale. Season two will also have a 10 episode run and will air next spring.
“Craig Silverstein, Barry Josephson and a talented cast and crew delivered a truly distinctive and engaging premiere season. We look forward to continuing this revolutionary journey into season two,” stated Charlie Collier, AMC President, announcing the renewal. “AMC and its creative partners have a track record of nurturing programs we collectively believe in, patiently growing viewership and engagement over time. With Turn, once again, we dive in with our partners to build upon this very promising first season.”
The cast is led by Jamie Bell and includes Seth Numrich, Daniel Henshall, Heather Lind, Kevin R McNally, Meegan Warner, Burn Gorman, Angus MacFadyen, JJ Feild, and Samuel Roukin. Craig Silverstein is the showrunner and executive produces with Barry Josephson.
The Plot:
A character-driven drama set during the Revolutionary War, Turn takes us behind the battlefront, to a shadow war fought by everyday heroes who vowed to keep their heroics a secret. Based on Alexander Rose’s book Washington’s Spies, Turn centers on Abe Woodhull, a farmer living in British-occupied Long Island, who bands together with a disparate group of childhood friends to form the Culper Ring. Together they risked their lives and honor, and turned against family and King, for a fight they believed in passionately, ultimately helping George Washington turn the tide of the Revolutionary War in favor of the rebels. Their daring efforts also revolutionized the art of espionage, giving birth to modern tradecraft as we know it today, along with all of the moral complexity that entails.
