Ethan Hawke Returns as James Sandin in THE PURGE Season 2 Finale

Since the first movie was released in 2013, The Purge franchise has seen various characters return in its films, and now the TV series is bringing back a familiar character who hasn't been seen since the first movie.

It was announced today that Ethan Hawke will reprise his role as James Sandin in the season 2 finale of USA's The Purge TV series. Before the finale airs on Tuesday, December 17th on the USA Network, you can get a look at Sandin's return in the flashback from the new episode below, which takes place one week before the first Purge Night.

"Ethan Hawke, star of 2013’s “The Purge,” is back as James Sandin in the second season finale of USA’s THE PURGE. James Sandin is the security system salesman the original film follows as he tries to protect his family from home invaders during a purge night gone wrong.

James is featured in the finale’s cold open, which flashes back to one week before the first national purge and the first time his high-tech security system is tested.

Titled “7:01 AM,” the finale picks up as purge night rages on and Esme, Ryan, Marcus and Ben fight for their lives and their loved ones. It will air Tuesday, December 17 at 9/8C on USA Network."
