USA Network has picked up Shooter for a second season.
The drama, which is based on Mark Wahlberg’s 2007 film of the same name, stars Ryan Phillippe as Bob Lee Swagger, a highly decorated veteran who is coaxed back into action to prevent a plot to kill the president. When Swagger’s former commanding officer, Isaac Johnson, played by Omar Epps, solicits his expertise for a clandestine operation, Swagger discovers that he has been framed and must do everything in his power to protect his family and clear his name.
