Overview

Season 2: Premiered October 2017 on EPIX

After a year of public protests against his Presidential legacy, Season 2 finds former President Richard Graves (Nick Nolte) turning inward in search of the man he used to be before he was President. This journey is compounded by the arrival of his first grandchild, thanks to daughter Olivia (Heléne Yorke) and a new revelation about his son, Jeremy (Chris Lowell). Graves’s journey coincides with wife Margaret’s (Sela Ward) Senate campaign, as the former First Lady attempts to build her own political legacy at the exact moment that her husband is tearing his down; and his assistant, Isaiah Miller’s (Skylar Astin) search for new direction after taking a bullet for the President in the Season 1 finale. Meanwhile, Graves’s spiritual muse Samantha (Callie Hernandez) finds a new calling as a singer/songwriter.

New recurring cast members this season include Adam Goldberg, Spencer Grammer, Wallace Shawn, Sarah Baker, Lauren Weedman, Matt Long and Juliette Lewis, with Jacqueline Bisset as a guest star.

The series, created and executive produced by Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote, Jobs, Neverwas), is also executive produced by Academy Award winner Greg Shapiro (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) along with Keith Eisner (“The Good Wife”) and Eric Weinberg (“Scrubs”). Graves is produced by Lionsgate Television.
