Premiering this fall on USA Network, the second season of the anthology series opens on Purge night but dives deeper than ever before in to what THE PURGE world looks like the other 364 days of the year. THE PURGE Season 1 was USA's #1 scripted series in P18-49, P25-54 and P18-34 in 2018 1.

Previously announced cast include Derek Luke ("13 Reasons Why"), Max Martini ("Pacific Rim"), Paola Nunez ("The Son") and Joel Allen ("Never Goin' Back").

THE PURGE Season 2 is executive produced by the film franchise creator James DeMonaco, who executive produces along with his partner for Man in a Tree, Sébastien K. Lemercier; Krystal Houghton Ziv, James Roland, Tim Andrew, and Jason Blum.
