The series is currently in production in New York and upon its return, the two men will square off in a costly war for personal domination. It’s a law versus money, with power, sex, and the soul of New York in the balance.
“In Season 2, the major reversal is that Bobby has made a decision that if he is going to be able to operate freely, the US attorney has to be taken down,” Lewis reveals about his character.
Maggie Siff returns as Wendy Rhoades, Chuck’s estranged wife and the top performance coach, and Malin Akerman as Lara Axelrod, Axe’s fiercely loyal and street-smart wife. Guest stars this season include Rob Morrow, Dan Soder, Kelly AuCoin, James Wolk, Christopher Denham, Glenn Fleshler and Eric Bogosian.
