Though it was canceled after one season on Showtime, the crime drama American Rust has been picked up for season 2 on Amazon's Freevee platform. Starring Jeff Daniels, the show follows a jaded police chief in a small Pennsylvania town who is tasked with investigating a grisly murder. Drawing its inspiration from the eponymous novel by Philipp Meyer, American Rust sets its gritty crime story against the background of a crumbling former steel town and uses its location to make commentary about the state of rural America. Featuring an A-list cast, American Rust had all the makings of a bona fide hit but stumbled in season 1.
