BBC America Renews ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’ for Season Two

BBC America has picked up original scripted series “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,” starring Elijah Wood and Samuel Barnett, for a second season. Written by Max Landis (“American Ultra,” “Chronicle”) and executive produced by Robert Cooper (“Stargate Atlantis”) and adapted from the novels by Douglas Adams (“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”), “Dirk Gently” is a serialized comedic thriller that follows the bizarre adventures of eccentric “holistic” detective Dirk Gently (Barnett) and his reluctant assistant Todd (Wood) as they go through one big, seemingly insane mystery per season, crossing unlikely paths with a bevy of wild and sometimes dangerous characters.

The series is produced by AMC Studios and the season one will finale airs on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 9 p.m. ET.
