Where previously executive producer, writer and director Steven Zaillian said he’d be open to a second season of The Night Of, HBO boss Casey Bloys intimated in October that Zaillian was actively pondering a new subject.
And while The Night Of may have proven more critically success than commercial, talk has continually swirled of a second season, which star Michael K. Williams says HBO would be “deaf, dumb, and stupid” to ignore.

Moreso than True Detective, HBO’s criminal justice thriller The Night Of was always intended as a one-off miniseries.
