Amazon Renews Goliath for Season 2
It was recently announced that Amazon has renewed Billy Bob Thornton’s drama “Goliath” for a second season.
From Variety:
“Dexter” and “Nurse Jackie” scribe Clyde Phillips will be taking the reins as showrunner and executive producer, joining the executive producer team that includes David E.

Kelley currently has a bit of a full plate: He is currently exec producing HBO’s “Big Little Lies” and is also launching AT&T Audience Network’s “Mr. Mercedes,” based on the Stephen King novel.
There is no word yet on the release date.

You may recall that Billy Bob Thornton won a Golden Globe for his performance in 'Goliath', and many fans would be sorely disappointed if Amazon decided to forgo on a second season.
