Esquire Network has renewed “Spotless” for a second season. The drama is the cable network’s first-ever scripted original series.
“Esquire Network proudly broke the genre barriers offering a series that combined elements of danger and drama with a sharp satirical edge,” said Matt Hanna, Esquire Network’s exec VP of original programming. “We are thrilled to once again partner with Tandem Productions and look forward to the wild ride of season two as we continue to gain momentum as a network and reach new heights.”
The Season 2 renewal comes in the midst of Esquire’s upward momentum, as the NBCUniversal-owned cabler wrapped up the first quarter of 2016 with significant growth, marking the net’s most-watched quarter ever among adults 25-54 and total viewers and the second most-watched quarter in the 18-49 demo.
Set in London, “Spotless” tells the story of a troubled man, Jean Bastiere (Marc-André Grondin), whose life was turned upside down when he was reunited with his outlaw brother (Denis Ménochet). The series also stars Miranda Raison and Brendan Coyle. Corinne Marrinan (“CSI”) and Ed McCardie (“Shameless”) co-created the dark drama from Tandem Prods. The duo exec produce along with Rola Bauer (“The Pillars of the Earth,” “Crossing Lines”). The first season of “Spotless” had its 10-episode run last year.
