Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney return for the second season.
Prime Video unveils the first look for American Rust: Broken Justice, announcing its release and cast members. Boat Rocker acquired the rights for worldwide distribution and also serves as producer for Season 2.
Adapted on the highly acclaimed novel of the same name by Philipp Meyer. The first season of American Rust premiered on showtime. The show takes a deep dive into the broken American Dream in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania, narrated through the eyes of police chief Del Harris. Harris’s allegiance is put to the test when Tierney, the woman he loves, asks him to protect her son, who has been accused of murder. Harris must decide how far he is willing to go to safeguard him.
In American Rust: Broken Justice, we return to the made-up town of Buell, Pennsylvania. Del Harris (played by Daniels) and Grace Poe (played by Tierney) are trying to move on after the traumatic experiences of Season One. Season Two begins with a series of murders that appear to be unrelated but point to a bigger plot that puts everyone in the town at risk, given its close-knit community.
American Rust: Broken Justice is executive produced by Dan Futterman, Adam Rapp, Jeff Daniels, Paul Martino, Michael De Luca, Ivan Schneeberg, David Fortier, Nick Nantell, Katie O’Connell Marsh, and Elisa Ellis.
