Perry Mason Season 2 Release Date
The release date for the second season of the series, Perry Mason has not been announced yet. For now, we can expect it in late 2022 or early 2023.
The new season might consist of eight episodes like Season 1, although it is yet to be confirmed by the makers. However, the developers would soon make new announcements regarding the second season.
Perry Mason Plot and Cast
Considering what happened in Season 1, the show will possibly cover one case in Season 2. Since the first season was criticized for lacking the ongoing mystery and case, the writers might focus on smaller cases.
Of course, it’s also possible that the show will begin adapting some of Gardner’s novels for the screen now that the table has been set and everyone is in their rightful place. The first season actually ends with a nod to Eva Griffin, who appeared in the Perry Mason novel “The Case of the Velvet Claws,” so don’t be surprised if the show begins to pull from the page as it evolves.
Now talking about the cast, it’s unclear exactly who would be returning from the lead cast in the second season. However, we can expect to see Matthew Rhys will be back as the title character, Juliet Rylance as Della Street, Chris Chalk as Paul Drake, Shea Whigham as Pete Strickland, and Tatiana Maslany as Sister Alice McKeegan.
We might also get to see Eric Lange as Gene Holcomb, Justin Kirk as Hamilton Burger, Diarra Kilpatrick as Clara Drake, and Katherine Waterston as Ginny Ames.
