PITTSBURGH — Who says every show that films in western Pennsylvania gets canceled after one season?
To be fair, that trend seemed to continue earlier this year when Showtime opted against ordering a second season of “American Rust,” the television adaptation of Philipp Meyer’s 2009 novel of the same name that is set in the fictional Rust Belt town of Buell, and was shot throughout the Pittsburgh area last year.
“American Rust” fans can now rest easy, as it was announced Thursday that the series has been picked up for a second season by Amazon Freevee, the free streaming service formerly known as IMDb TV. Stars Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney are set to return, according to an Amazon Freevee press release. The show will also continue to film in western Pennsylvania, showrunner Dan Futterman told the Post-Gazette Thursday afternoon.
