TORONTO – Filming is underway for the second season of Bad Blood, the original drama series inspired by real life underworld figure Vito Rizzuto.
City said Monday that the eight new 60-minute episodes of the series will air this fall. Star Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) reprises his role as multifaceted mobster Declan Gardiner, helming a new cast featuring Louis Ferreira (Breaking Bad, S.W.A.T), Anna Hopkins (Shadow Hunters), and Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna Earp).
Season 2 picks up five years after Rizzuto’s death when his former right-hand man Gardiner (Coates), is the reigning king of the Montreal drug trade – that is, until a new breed of mafiosos arrive from Europe to wage war in an attempt to wrestle the city from his grasp.
Filming is taking place now in the Sudbury and Montreal areas, and additional broadcast details will be announced at a later date.
Bad Blood is produced in partnership with New Metric Media and Sphère Média Plus in association with with distributors DHX Media and Skyvision.
Full season 1 episodes plus extras are available on Citytv.com, Rogers on Demand, Rogers Anyplace TV, and the City app for iOs, Android, and fourth-generation Apple TV.
