'Joe Pickett' Is Now A Paramount+ Original; Check Out The Season 2 Teaser

 


Paramount+ has released the teaser for the second season of (neo?-)Western drama Joe Pickett, and announced that the season will premiere on June 4 in the United States and Canada, with a June 5 premiere in Australia. Further international rollout will be announced at a future time.

That might not sound like a big deal, after all, it was nearly a year ago that the streamer posted the trailer for the first season, which they added on May 15. But back then, Joe Pickett was a Spectrum Original, having premiered its ten-episode first season there over December 2021. It was in fact their most-watched series when it was renewed in February 2022 for the second season. It's a distinction they probably weren't dethroned from, as Spectrum Originals would go defunct in August, and so the series, a production of Paramount Television Studios, made Paramount+ its home.

Based on a series of books under the same name by C.J. Box, who serves as an executive producer, the series stars Michael Dorman as Pickett, a Wyoming game warden. His supporting cast includes Julianna Guill, Sharon Lawrence, Paul Sparks and David Alan Grier. Three season 1 recurrers, Vivienne Guynn, Chad Rook, and Aadila Dosani were promoted to series regulars, while Keean Johnson was hired directly to such capacity. In this new season, Joe discovers a hunter murdered in the mountains and realizes it is the latest in a series of gruesome murders. To investigate and catch the killer, Joe must deal with a radical anti-hunting activist, a ghoulish set of off-the-grid twins, and his own troubling past. Even when the goodness comes into question, the investigation goes so deep that he and his wife Marybeth (Guill) are forced to go on the run and fight for their very lives.

When that June 4 premiere comes, it'll be far more reasonably paced than season 1's initial Spectrum rollout, where it would be in batches of 2s and 3s. It'll be weekly single episode releases after two episodes drop on the date. The series also comes from directors, showrunners, and executive producers John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle, who have worked on both Waco miniseries. Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher serve as executive producers for Red Wagon Entertainment. The trailer can be watched below.
