The series is inspired by the book and 2003 Belgian film “De Zaak Alzheimer.” Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment are behind the show, with executive producers including showrunners Aaron Zelman and Glenn Kessler, and series star Dempsey. Arthur Sarkissian and Martin Campbell are also executive producers, along with Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks.

“We’re thrilled Fox has renewed ‘Memory of a Killer’ for a second season, a richly deserved renewal given the show’s great critical, creative, and commercial success,” said Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks. “The performances of Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli have been powerful and compelling, and we can’t wait to see what the show’s brilliant creative team has in store for Angelo’s next chapter.”

Richard Harmon, Odeya Rush, Daniel Davis Stewart and Peter Gadiot also star. Here’s the logline for Season 1: “‘Memory of A Killer’ is a dramatic thriller starring Emmy nominee Patrick Dempsey as a hitman, Angelo Doyle, leading a dangerous double life while hiding an even deadlier personal secret. Emmy winner Michael Imperioli stars opposite Dempsey in the role of Dutch, Angelo’s oldest friend and an accomplished chef whose restaurant is a front for criminal enterprise.”
