Here’s some good news to start the day: Leah Remini’s eye-opening look at Scientology is getting a second season, Deadline reports.
The docuseries centered on her investigation into the alleged offenses by the Church. Teaming up with former Scientology executives and ex-members, they exposed stories of harassment, abuse and emotional trauma experienced by individuals who have left Scientology and are brave enough to speak openly about it.
“The critical and ratings success of this show speaks to television viewers’ increasing thirst for authentic and distinctive storytelling,” said Executive Vice President and Head of Programming at A&E Network, Elaine Frontain Bryant. “Through Leah’s passion and perseverance she has boldly empowered so many people to step forward and we’re eager to share more of those compelling stories with a new season.”
No word yet on when the hour-long series will return, but my guess would be sometime later this year.
