"What happens on Purge Night doesn't stay on Purge Night." Ahead of its season 1 finale back in late 2018, USA Network renewed The Purge for a second season, and now we know when the first new episode will air. USA Network has announced that The Purge Season 2 will premiere on October 15th and 9/8c and they shared a brand new behind-the-scenes video, which we've included below.

Based on the hit movie franchise from Blumhouse Productions, THE PURGE revolves around a 12-hour period when all crime, including murder, is legal. Premiering this fall on USA Network, Season 2 will explore how a single Purge night affects the lives of four interconnected characters over the course of the ensuing year, all inevitably leading up to the next Purge.

Previously announced cast include Derek Luke (“13 Reasons Why”), Max Martini (“Pacific Rim”), Paola Nuñez (“The Son”) and Joel Allen (“Never Goin’ Back”).
