"Club illico had promised a gripping and powerful original series, and today we can say, without fear of contradiction, mission accomplished!" said Videotron VP of marketing – content & broadcasting Marie Ginette, in the news release. “The polished writing, production values comparable to those of the top American series, and world-class cast make Blue Moon a must-see show. We know the series' thousands of fans are already looking forward to Season 2."
Season two of Blue Moon is currently in postproduction. The series is available exclusively on Club illico to all residents of Québec and Ontario, whether or not they are Videotron customers.
