The CW Bulks Up for Next Summer; FX Brings Back Mr Inbetween for Season 2
Continuing to bulk up its slate of original summer programming, The CW Network has acquired the British action drama Bulletproof from Sky Vision and ordered second seasons of the legal drama Burden of Truth, starring Kristin Kreuk, and the fantasy-adventure series The Outpost; all are set to air in Summer 2019. The CW has also ordered new seasons of the hit magic series Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Masters of Illusion, and the classic improv comedy Whose Line Is It Anyway? for Summer 2019. Premiere dates and times will be announced later.
Mr Inbetween, the new Australian series created by and starring Scott Ryan as the criminal-for-hire "Ray Shoesmith", has been renewed for a second season by FX Networks and FOXTEL. The second season will premiere in 2019, broadcasting day-and-date on FX in the U.S. and FOXTEL, Australia's leading cable network. In Mr Inbetween, Ryan plays "Ray Shoesmith", a father, ex-husband, boyfriend and best friend: tough roles to juggle in the modern age. Even harder when you're a criminal for hire. The six-episode season, written by Ryan and directed by Nash Edgerton, stars Ryan, Damon Herriman, Justin Rosniak, Brooke Satchwell, Jackson Tozer, Nicholas Cassim, Chika Yasumura and Matt Nable. Mr Inbetween aired last night, Tuesday, October 9 on FX with the final two episodes of the first season at 11:14 p.m. ET/PT and concluding at 12:19 a.m.
