AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire has been renewed for a second season.
The drama – which stars Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy and Mackenzie Davis – debuted on the network in June, and recently concluded its first season.
The series follows the rise of the PC in the early 1980s.
AMC president, Charlie Collier, said in a statement:
“This is a show about invention, experimentation and the inherent risks in trying to break new ground – themes that really resonate with us as a network and attracted a passionate audience.
“We have a history of demonstrating patience through the early seasons of new shows, betting on talent and building audience over time. We see that opportunity here and look forward to a second season of Halt and Catch Fire from creators Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers, and showrunner Jonathan Lisco.”
Halt and Catch Fire’s first season averaged about 1.3 millon weekly viewers.
AMC made history by becoming the first network to debut a show on Tumblr, when it made the first episode of the show available to watch on the blogging site in May.
