YouTube has ordered a 10-episode second season of critically praised supernatural thriller series Impulse, directed and executive produced. YouTube says the series pilot, which is available for free on the service, has drawn nearly eight million views since it premiered on June 6.
In Impulse, which hails from Universal Cable Productions and studio-based Hypnotic (Suits), Maddie Hasson stars as Henrietta “Henry” Cole, a rebellious 16-year-old girl who has always felt different from her peers and longs to escape from her seemingly quaint small town. During a traumatic event, Henry discovers she has the extraordinary ability to teleport, and her newfound power confirms Henry’s conviction that she really was different from everybody else — but it now makes her the focus of those who want to control her.
Hassan will return for Season 2 along with Missi Pyle as Cleo, Sarah Desjardins as Jenna, Enuka Okuma as Deputy Anna, and Craig Arnold as Lucas.
