What to know about American Rust
Based on Philipp Meyer’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name, American Rust Season 1 explored the American Dream through the eyes of police chief Del Harris (Daniels). Harris gets caught up in a compromising situation when the son of the woman he loves, Grace Poe, (Maura Tierney) is accused of murder. He is forced to decide what he’s willing to do to protect him.
The new season will be titled American Rust: Broken Justice. It’ll go back to the fictional town of Buell, Pennsylvania. Del Harris and Grace Poe try to rebuild their lives after the harrowing events of the first season. The second continues with a string of seemingly unrelated murders, hinting at a much larger conspiracy.
