[Spoiler Alert] The twist? He's an alien (one of his abilities is processing alcohol 50 times faster than humans).
Amy Ryan, Anna Gunn, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, Alex Hernandez and Kirby, formerly known as Kirby Howell-Baptiste, also starred in the first season.
In season two, Sugar is back in Los Angeles and takes on another missing person case while continuing to search for answers about his missing sister.
The series was created by Mark Protosevich, who has written films such as I Am Legend and The Cell. He was also the showrunner for the first season, but has been replaced for season two by Sam Catlin, who previously served as showrunner on AMC's Preacher.
Catlin will executive produce alongside Farrell, Audrey Chon, Simon Kinberg, Scott Greenberg and Chip Vucelich under the Short Drive Entertainment banner.
“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace Sugar, and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” said executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg. “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.”
“Since its premiere, audiences have been gripped by the mysteries and twists of Sugar, with an incredible performance by Colin Farrell at the center,” added Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Colin, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon and the entire team behind this series have brilliantly blended genres to create a compelling, can’t-miss series that keeps viewers guessing, and we cannot wait to see where Detective John Sugar finds himself in season two.”
