Fox has just unearthed more killer memories. The network has given a Season 2 order to “Memory of a Killer,” its freshman drama starring Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli. This brings the series, which just wrapped its Season 1 on Monday night, through the 2026-2027 TV season.

“‘Memory of a Killer’ has become a true standout with visceral performances from Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli,” said Fox TV Network prexy Michael Thorn. “Aaron Zelman, Glenn Kessler, and our partners at Warner Bros. Television have delivered a sharp, emotional character-driven thriller that’s clearly landed with viewers, and we’re excited to continue that success together in Season Two.”

The 10-episode Season 1 premiered on Jan. 25 behind the NFL’s NFC championship game, which helped make it broadcast’s highest-rated drama telecast this season, Fox said. The network said it’s also Fox’s most-streamed series to date.

The series is inspired by the book and 2003 Belgian film “De Zaak Alzheimer.” Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment are behind the show, with executive producers including showrunners Aaron Zelman and Glenn Kessler, and series star Dempsey. Arthur Sarkissian and Martin Campbell are also executive producers, along with Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks.

“We’re thrilled Fox has renewed ‘Memory of a Killer’ for a second season, a richly deserved renewal given the show’s great critical, creative, and commercial success,” said Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks. “The performances of Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli have been powerful and compelling, and we can’t wait to see what the show’s brilliant creative team has in store for Angelo’s next chapter.”
