USA Network has renewed the legal thriller series 'The Rainmaker' for a second season, set to premiere in 2026, after its successful first season which became the network's most-viewed freshman series in seven years.
USA's adaptation of John Grisham's 'The Rainmaker' offers a conventional, light-hearted legal thriller that shifts away from the book's cynicism, focusing instead on entertaining plot twists and character dynamics, with strong performances from John Slattery and Lana Parrilla, but lacking the original's sharp critique of the legal and healthcare systems.

The series, now an anthology, features a new storyline with Brosnahan leading the cast, while Jake Gyllenhaal remains an executive producer.
