Sundance Channel's critically acclaimed scripted series RECTIFY will return for ten new episodes in summer 2014. The haunting story of a man released from prison after spending nearly two decades on death row, RECTIFY has been overwhelmingly well-received by critics and has landed on numerous year-end top ten lists. Matt Roush at TV Guide rated the series a "10 out of 10" and called it "TV's most absorbing, unsettling new drama." The Daily Beast dubbed RECTIFY "the best new show of 2013" and Mary McNamara at the Los Angeles Times said "RECTIFY is a revelation that sets a new standard... a game changer." RECTIFY is created and written by Ray McKinnon (The Accountant, DEADWOOD, SONS OF ANARCHY) and executive produced by Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein, the Emmy Award winning producers behind BREAKING BAD and the upcoming HALT AND CATCH FIRE.
Season one of RECTIFY depicted six days in the life of Daniel Holden (Aden Young) following his release from death row to a world he no longer understood, to build a life he may not be allowed to keep. As Daniel tried to find a place in his reconfigured family and within a community deeply divided about his return, his presence reignited old wounds and introduced unexpected complications for those closest to him. In season two we find Daniel unsure if he wants to live or die, if he's guilty or innocent and if it ultimately even matters. The season will track Daniel's journey to find meaning in his life in the face of a dangerous and unpredictable world. It will also delve into the lives changed indelibly by Daniel's return.
Sarah Barnett, Sundance Channel President and GM, stated, "The response to RECTIFY has been incredible. We feel as though this story has tapped into something truly unique, with both critics and audiences using their platforms to share such strong, personal reactions to this very distinctive TV series. There's so much drama and character that's been set up in the first season, it will be electrifying to see where 'Rectify' goes in season two."

Smith-Cameron who plays Janet Talbot, Daniel's loving mother, who has been living with the impending death of her son for nineteen years and who long ago had made peace with the loss of her son, giving up on any hope for his release; Luke Kirby tackles the role of Jon Stern, Daniel's lawyer who works for an organization dedicated to exonerating the wrongfully convicted; Clayne Crawford portrays Ted Talbot, Jr., Daniel's stepbrother whom he had never previously met; Adelaide Clemens plays Tawney Talbot, Ted's kind-hearted wife; Bruce McKinnon plays Daniel's step-father Ted Talbot Sr.; and Jake Austin Walker plays Daniel's half-brother Jared.
