Fox Renews 'Memory of a Killer,' Starring Michael Imperioli
and Patrick Dempsey, for Season 2
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fox has just unearthed more killer memories. The network has
given a Season 2 order to "Memory of a Killer," its freshman
drama starring Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli. This
brings the series, which just wrapped its Season 1 on Monday
night, through the 2026-2027 TV season.
"'Memory of a Killer' has become a true standout with
visceral performances from Patrick Dempsey and Michael
Imperioli," said Fox TV Network prexy Michael Thorn. "Aaron
Zelman, Glenn Kessler, and our partners at Warner Bros.
Television have delivered a sharp, emotional character-driven
thriller that's clearly landed with viewers, and we're
excited to continue that success together in Season Two."
The 10-episode Season 1 premiered on Jan. 25 behind the NFL's
NFC championship game, which helped make it broadcast's
highest-rated drama telecast this season, Fox said. The
network said it's also Fox's most-streamed series to date.
The series is inspired by the book and 2003 Belgian film
"De Zaak Alzheimer." Warner Bros. Television and Fox
Entertainment are behind the show, with executive producers
including showrunners Aaron Zelman and Glenn Kessler, and
series star Dempsey. Arthur Sarkissian and Martin Campbell are
also executive producers, along with Peter Bouckaert of
Eyeworks.
"We're thrilled Fox has renewed 'Memory of a Killer' for a
second season, a richly deserved renewal given the show's
great critical, creative, and commercial success," said
Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television
Group and WBD US Networks. "The performances of Patrick Dempsey
and Michael Imperioli have been powerful and compelling, and we
can't wait to see what the show's brilliant creative team has
in store for Angelo's next chapter."
Richard Harmon, Odeya Rush, Daniel Davis Stewart and Peter
Gadiot also star. Here's the logline for Season 1: "'Memory of
A Killer' is a dramatic thriller starring Emmy nominee Patrick
Dempsey as a hitman, Angelo Doyle, leading a dangerous double
life while hiding an even deadlier personal secret. Emmy winner
Michael Imperioli stars opposite Dempsey in the role of Dutch,
Angelo's oldest friend and an accomplished chef whose restaurant
is a front for criminal enterprise."
