American Rust is back after originally being canceled after one season by Showtime, five months later the series was revived for a second season by Amazon Freevee.
The second season, titled American Rust: Broken Justice landed pre-Easter with all ten episodes landing at once on on Amazon Prime Video.
The second season began shooting in Western Pennsylvania in November 2022 and completed in May 2023. So there are some spoilers below the trailer. Read on at your own risk!
American Rust: Broken Justice ended on a huge cliffhanger! A hella bold move to do after already being cancelled once before!
But are enough Amazon viewers itching for a third season? I feel Showtime really lost out getting rid of this season when they did! Its not like they got many series on the go right now!
So we are not sure about the futures of the talented two leads, Del Harris (Jeff Daniels) and Grace Poe’s (Maura Tierney). Both get praise while the series itself generally gets a fairly bad wrap! Just look at Rotten Tomatoes!
This season's big bad is Russell Wolfe (Christopher Denham). But he isn't the only bad guy. Not to mention the bodies pile up and up in this second season. From an explosive package in episode one to cop shootings.
The season also features Lee (Julia Mayorga), investigative cop Steve Park (Rob Yang), Billy (Alex Nuestaedter) and Issac (David Alvarez) & Fisher (Kyle Beltran).
Former Showtime legend Luna Lauren Velez also joins as Detective Angela Burgos. She sort of creates a second love triangle in this season.
Velez is excellent in this series, real heart, real true grit!
With an additional tenth episode this run, I smashed this over Easter. It was an easy binge for me. Also nice to get into something else on Amazon.
I enjoyed this. It is a bit of poverty porn (not as bad as season one) but the characters are flawed and real.
American Rust shows us a real gritty America. Both seasons stream on Amazon right this second!
