Season 2 of the show, which has been acquired by Sky (U.K.), Warner Bros. Discovery (New Zealand), and Paramount+ (Canada), will delve deeper into the seductive and dangerous world of Kings Cross as John expands his empire into the booming queer nightclub scene.

Inspired by Johnny B. Truant’s Fat Vampire novels, the series stars Jacob Batalon (“Spider-Man: No Way Home”) and Mandela Van Peebles (“Mayor ofKingstown”) and Em Haine (“Fargo”).

It stars Katherine McNamara (“Shadowhunters,” “Maze Runner: The Death Cure”), Jasmine Sky Sarin (“Perfect High”), Armand Assante (“Gotti”) and Éric Bruneau (“Corroner”).
