USA Network has renewed John Grisham’s The Rainmaker for a second season, set to premiere in 2026. The courtroom drama debuted in August with a 10-episode freshman season, with USA Network sharing that the show was its most-viewed freshman series in seven years.

USA released a video on Instagram of the cast sharing the news with each other with the caption: “Let’s make it rain again. ☔ #TheRainmaker Season 2 is coming to @USANetwork in 2026!”

Based on the John Grisham bestseller (that also spawned the 1997 film starring Matt Damon), The Rainmaker stars Milo Callaghan as new law school grad Rudy Baylor, who gets thrown into a huge case that pits him against legal titan Leo Drummond, played by John Slattery, and Rudy’s own girlfriend Sarah, played by Madison Iseman, who works for Leo’s firm. Lana Parrilla co-stars as Rudy’s new boss Bruiser, with P.J. Byrne as paralegal Deck.

Val Boreland, entertainment president at USA parent company Versant, said in a statement: “The verdict is in — ‘The Rainmaker’ is returning for Season 2 on USA Network. Along with our brilliant showrunner Michael Seitzman and our partners at Lionsgate and Blumhouse, we’re thrilled to build on the momentum and deliver another compelling chapter of this gripping legal drama for our viewers.”
