The Purge renewed for a second season on USA Network

USA Network is apparently pleased with their new series, Purge, since they have renewed it for a second season, according to Bloody Disgusting. The show is a spin-off from the popular movie franchise which takes place during a night that all crime is legal. It takes place before and during the movies. Chris McCumber, president of entertainment networks for NBCUniversal cable entertainment, had this to say: “USA Network is so proud to be the television home for the iconic franchise, ‘The Purge,’ The partnership and creative trust of Jason Blum and everyone at Blumhouse Television and Universal Pictures ensured ‘The Purge’s’ successful transition from film to TV – and, along with Universal Cable Productions, we look forward to digging even deeper into the mythology in Season 2.”
