The Rainmaker Season 2 Premiere Date and First Look
USA Network today revealed the premiere date and official trailer for season two of the hit original legal drama series The Rainmaker.
Season two of the riveting ten-episode legal drama, inspired by the New York Times best-selling John Grisham novel and from Lionsgate Television and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, will debut on Friday, October 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on USA Network.
In 2025, The Rainmaker became USA Network’s most-watched freshman series in seven years and finished the year as the #1 highest-rated new scripted TV series across all of cable.
Season two of The Rainmaker stars Milo Callaghan (Dune: Prophecy), Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time), P.J. Byrne (The Five Star Weekend), Madison Iseman (Jumanji: The Next Level), Merle Dandridge (The Last of Us), Richard Kind (Argo), and Austin Nichols (I Know What You Did Last Summer).
The season picks back up with Rudy Baylor (Callaghan), an underdog lawyer taking on powerful interests alongside his boss Jocelyn “Bruiser” Stone (Parrilla) and his right-hand man Deck Shifflet (Byrne), the firm’s colorful paralegal.
This season, J. Lyman Stone and Associates faces old adversaries and new ones in a case where the lives of hundreds of children hang in the balance, and where winning might be just as dangerous as losing.
Later, Rudy goes up against his former law school flame, Sarah Plankmore (Madison Iseman), in the courtroom at the behest of her mysterious new boss, Amanda Vonn (Dandridge), a powerful attorney whose agenda may be hiding a shocking international conspiracy.
In a separate case, Bruiser’s ex-husband, Tom Cassady (Nichols), turns to her for help as his legal troubles threaten his life and the life of the star pitcher (Liam O’Halloran) of the minor league baseball team he coaches.
Additional cast members include Asher De Land, Libby Kay, Liam O’Halloran, Kevin Ryan, and Tim Murphy. John Slattery and Karen Bryson also return.
The Rainmaker is produced by Lionsgate Television and Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Seitzman, who also serves as showrunner, John Grisham, Patrick Moran, Jason Richman, David Gernert, and Jason Blum serve as executive producers.
