USA Network’s limited series, The Sinner, really hasn’t been all that limited at all. The network has officially renewed the popular series for a fourth season.
Bill Pullman will be reprising his role as Detective Harry Ambrose and the fourth season, which is slated to debut some time in 2021, will see the return of Derek Simonds as showrunner and executive producer, alongside executive producers Jessica Biel, Michelle Purple and Charlie Gogolak. There is no word on who will be co-leading with Bill Pullman since he’s the one constant on the series as he investigates cases that take on a different story each season. Season 3 starred Matt Bomer, who succeeded Jessica Biel and Carrie Coon, who starred opposite Pullman in Season 1 and 2, respectively. Chris McCumber, President of USA Network & SYFY, had this to say about the renewal:
“The Sinner has struck a chord with audiences with its signature ‘whydunnit’ style. In Season 4, we’re excited to dig even deeper into the psyche of Bill Pullman’s beloved Detective Ambrose character, while introducing our audience to a compelling, completely new mystery.”
The first season of The Sinner was the year’s No. 1 new cable series of 2017 and earned multiple award nominations including a Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Emmy nomination for Biel. The Sinner‘s second season received a SAG nomination (for Male Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie for Pullman) and a Critics’ Choice nomination (for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for Carrie Coon). The third season, starring Bomer, ranks as USA’s #1 original series YTD in key demos and is the year’s USA’s #1 original series across all platforms among total viewers (3.032MM P2+).
