BBC America has ordered Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency Season 2 for next year.
With plenty of genre fare appearing across many networks, fans of sci-fi and supernatural stories have lots to choose from, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency on BBC America is inarguably unique with its universe centered around the power of coincidence. Apparently, the quirky show has hit a chord with its audience and its host network as it was announced that the series would return for a season 2.
Based quite loosely on the Douglas Adam’s novel of the same name, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agencyfollows the madcap investigation being carried out by Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett) with the help of his unwitting assistant, Todd (Elijah Wood). With both mysterious supernatural elements like body-jumping souls and sci-fi concepts like time travel, the show takes an insanely improbably set of circumstances and creates a compelling puzzle of the resulting dark conspiracy.
A good sign coming out of the season 2 renewal is that the next run of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency will contain ten episodes, an increase over season 1’s eight installments. The series continues its run with episode 6 this Saturday, November 26, and latecomers to the show can catch up on the BBC America website or on Netflix.
