Sundance Now green lights This Close for a second series

AMC’s Sundance Now streaming service has green lit season two of its original relationship dramedy, This Close.

The series is created and written by its stars, Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman - two real life best friends, both of whom are deaf. This Close will begin production on its eight-episode second season in summer 2018 in Los Angeles.

“We are immensely proud of This Close, and could not have asked for a better reception to the series’ first season from both the press and our Sundance Now members,” said Jan Diedrichsen, general manager of SundanceTV and Sundance Now. “Green lighting the show’s second season was the easiest decision we’ve ever made, and we cannot wait to see where Josh and Shoshannah take Michael and Kate’s stories.”
