With the release of a first look, Apple TV has officially confirmed that John Sugar's story continues.

The second season builds on this success in terms of both content and style.

Plot of the second season

The series once again centers on John Sugar, a seasoned private investigator and film buff from Los Angeles. In the new season, he takes on a case involving the troubled older brother of an up-and-coming local boxer. At the same time, he continues his search for his missing sister, a mystery that continues to weigh heavily on him. As the investigation unfolds, the case evolves into a citywide conspiracy with sinister motives, forcing Sugar to confront his own moral boundaries.
