“American Rust” will get a second season after all. Amazon’s free ad-supported streaming service Freevee (formerly IMDb TV) has swooped in and saved the show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The gritty series starring Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney debuted on Showtime in November 2021 but was cancelled by the network in January of this year.
Based on a 2009 novel of the same name by Philipp Meyer, “American Rust” is billed as a compelling family drama and a timeless story told through the eyes of complicated and compromised chief of police Del Harris (Daniels) in a small Pennsylvania Rust Belt town full of good people making bad choices.
