Overview

Premiered August 12, 2018 on EPIX

The dark comedy from MGM Television, inspired by the 1990’s bestselling Elmore Leonard novel of the same name and created for television by Davey Holmes (Shameless, In Treatment), will return for its second season on EPIX August 12, 2018.

In season two, Miles Daly (Chris O’Dowd) struggles to reconcile his ambitions as a filmmaker and a family man with his skill set as a career criminal. His progress in Hollywood is jeopardized when the washed-up producer (Ray Romano) with whom he partnered in season one agrees to wear a Federal wire.  Miles faces off with criminal financiers and with a Hollywood power-broker who could be the most dangerous of all.    

The cast is led by Screen Actors Guild Award® and BAFTA TV Award nominee O’Dowd (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar ChildrenThe Sapphires, Bridesmaids) and multiple Emmy® winner Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond, Men of a Certain Age, Parenthood), and also includes Sean Bridgers (RectifyRoom), Carolyn Dodd (The Adventures of Catty Wompus), Lidia Porto (Horrible Bosses 2), Goya Robles (11:55), Megan Stevenson (Review), and Lucy Walters (Power). Sarah Stiles (I’m Dying Up Here, Unsane) returns in season two and has been upped to series regular, and Felicity Huffman (Transamerica, Desperate Housewives) is joining the cast as a recurring guest star. Additional recurring guest stars include Isaac Keys (The Oath), Steven Weber (Wings), Andrew Leeds (Bones), Amy Seimetz (Stranger Things), Sonya Walger (The Catch) and Alex Sawyer (House of Anubis).

Get Shorty is executive produced by Holmes, Adam Arkin (The Americans, Billions) and Etan Frankel.

The series is produced by MGM Television and internationally distributed by MGM.
