Joe Pickett is returning for a second season on June 4, 2023 with Michael Dorman back as the titular character. Season one premiered in December 2021 as a Spectrum Original, but Paramount+ is the show’s new home for its second season.
Season two will launch with the release of the first two episodes on June 4th. New episodes will follow on Sundays.
John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle (Waco, Waco: The Aftermath) guide the series as directors, showrunners, and executive producers. The series is based on C.J. Box’s bestselling book series, and Box is involved as an executive producer along with Red Wagon Entertainment’s Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher.
The release date announcement was accompanied by season two photos and the first teaser trailer for the upcoming season. Paramount+ also released this description of the second season:
“In season two, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett (Dorman) discovers a hunter murdered in the mountains and realizes his is just one of a series of gruesome murders. To solve the case and catch the killer, Joe must navigate a radical anti-hunting activist, a ghoulish set of twins living off the grid and his own tortured past.
Joe and his wife, Marybeth (Julianna Guill), discover that the murdered men weren’t as innocent as they seemed. But when they dig too deep, they are forced to go on the run and fight for their very lives.”
