The John Grisham adaptation will return in 2026
USA Network has ordered a second season of The Rainmaker, the freshman legal thriller from Lionsgate Television and Blumhouse Television. The renewal follows the show’s strong debut season, which wrapped last week and delivered the network’s highest-rated new series launch in seven years.
Based on John Grisham’s best-selling novel, the series stars Milo Callaghan as Rudy Baylor, a young lawyer who takes on a powerful insurance company while navigating corruption, conspiracy, and complicated personal ties. The ensemble cast also includes John Slattery, Lana Parrilla, Madison Iseman, P.J. Byrne, Dan Fogler, Wade Briggs, and Robyn Cara.
Val Boreland, President of Entertainment at VERSANT, said:
“The verdict is in – The Rainmaker is returning for season two 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.”
Across its first nine episodes, The Rainmaker averaged 1.3 million total viewers, with its finale marking the most-watched episode of the season.
Season 2 of The Rainmaker will premiere in late 2026 on USA Network.
