Rectify is back!
Sundance channel has recently announced that the second season of its critically acclaimed drama series Rectify will premiere exclusively on 2nd October at 10pm.
Season one of Rectify depicted a week in the life of Daniel Holden (Aden Young) following his release from death row into a world he no longer understood. Nineteen years previously, Daniel was sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend, Hanna Dean but thanks to newly discovered DNA evidence and the efforts of his sister and lawyer, Daniel’s conviction was vacated and he returned to his mother’s home in the small town of Paulie, Georgia. Attempting to build a life that he may not be allowed to keep, Daniel struggled to find his place in a community deeply divided about his release as well as in his own reconfigured family.
In season two we find Daniel trying to become an active participant in his own life once again, making decisions and contemplating a future. As he searches for meaning in a dangerous and unpredictable world, the effects of Daniel’s return ripple outwards to impact upon the people around him. Not everyone is convinced of Daniel’s innocence and his freedom is far from secure. Places and faces in Paulie remind Daniel of the past and he knows he must confront and accept what really happened on the night of Hanna’s murder if he is ever to find any peace. Season two sees Daniel resolving to do whatever it takes to put his past behind him, no matter how high the price.
