On Friday, Apple TV unveiled a first look at the anticipated season two return of “Sugar,” the acclaimed neo-noir detective drama starring and executive produced by Colin Farrell. The eight-episode second season of “Sugar” will make its global return on Friday, June 19th on Apple TV with one episode, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through August 7th.
“Sugar” is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture and television history: the private detective story. Season two ushers in the return of Los Angeles’ iconic private detective and film connoisseur, John Sugar. Emmy Award nominee Colin Farrell returns for a new case, tracking the troubled older brother of an up-and-coming local boxer as his search for his beloved missing sister continues. As the investigation expands into a citywide conspiracy with sinister intentions, Sugar must reckon with himself to answer the question — how far will he go to do what’s right?
In addition to Farrell, the second season of “Sugar” introduces a brand-new cast, including Jin Ha, Raymond Lee, Tony Dalton, Laura Donnelly, Sasha Calle, and special guest star Shea Whigham.
Season two of “Sugar” is showrun by Sam Catlin, who also executive produces under his Short Drive Entertainment banner. Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg executive produce for Genre Films under Kinberg’s overall deal with Apple TV. Farrell, Scott Greenberg and Chip Vucelich also serve as executive producers. “Sugar” is created by Mark Protosevich.
Hailed as “one of the best neo-noir thrillers in years” with “one of the greatest plot twists in recent TV history,” the complete first season of “Sugar” is now streaming globally on Apple TV.

I found Sugar to be fantastic! Ferrell is fantastic and has really become a great actor, under utilized IMO.
Sometimes a show has a cast and a lead, and then someone else comes in and just steals the show and it sets if off-balance, by only their good work.
Rings of Power – Season 1, totally screwed up, but Dorin (SP?) the dwarf, the scenes he was in was all that was worth watching. Sauron also had his moments, but so stilted and poorly written and directed. The whole thing was a mess. Season 2 was 3x better, but I digress, you get my point.
In Sugar? No one steals the show from him. Collin is whom you want to see and watch and explore the show with the eyes of his character.
I hope they continue what was left unfinished at the end of season 2. I am guessing that is a small thread that will continue throughout the season. SPOILER: A man hunt for the other alien that stayed on earth and whom Sugar discovered was whom took or killed his daughter on their home planet… Yes, if you just read that, it comes across as a completely fun who-done-it detective show and throws this massive, massive curve ball your way. It was totally cool and so well done, and it gave the show a depth and layers you are now dealing with as Sugar’s been dealing with it the entire time.
Fantastic! Now where is season 3 and 4 of Silo?! And where is Mark Scout! Sheesh, Apple if you have hits you should know it and get the next years green lit ASAP!
I really loved this show. The blue corvette is just awesome. The videography in that show was really good. Sometimes I paused it just to look at the picture.
I went back and watched Bogert in the Big Sleep. It really helped. Sugar season 1 is not exactly the same story but it rhymes.
