EDMONTON (July 16, 2019) – Super Channel is pleased to announce that the espionage drama Deep State, returns to Super Channel for the exclusive Canadian premiere of a second enthralling season on Sunday, August 25 at 9 p.m. ET. Each hour-long episode of the eight-episode season will also be available to subscribers on Super Channel On Demand the day following its weekly linear broadcast. Viewers can also catch up on all of season one, currently available on Demand.

Joining the cast this season is Emmy® nominee, Walton Goggins. Known for his versatile and critically acclaimed performances in Justified, Vice Principals and The Hateful Eight, Goggins stars as Nathan Miller, an ex-CIA operative brought in as a fixer for the deep state.

The second season delves deeper into the murky and political world of the deep state. Having failed in the Middle East, those powers are now turning their attention to sub- Saharan Africa and the scramble to plunder its natural resources. This is the first dirty war

over clean energy. The series also explores the origin stories of some of our favourite characters from season one, alongside witnessing the fall of a hero and orchestrating the making of a terrorist in the eyes of the West.

Returning cast members include: Joe Dempsie (, ), Karima McAdams (Fearless, Vikings), Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, The Night Manager) and Anastasia Griffith (Damages, Once Upon a Time). Rounding out the ensemble are new cast members, Victoria Hamilton (The Crown, Doctor Foster), Alexander Siddig (The Spy, Gotham) Lily Banda (The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind) and Zainab Jah (Elementary, Homeland).
