Crossing Lines has been renewed for a second season of twelve episodes, though it remains unclear whether the show will return to NBC in the United States.
Created by Edward Allen Bernero, of Criminal Minds, the series follows a special unit operating under the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The team is assembled to tackle serial and organised crimes that spill across European borders, the kind of cases that slip between the cracks of any one country’s police force. William Fichtner leads the cast as Carl Hickman, a former New York detective drawn back into the work, alongside an ensemble of officers from across Europe.
The renewal comes from the show’s European backers, with the drama produced as an international co-production. Its future on NBC, however, is less certain, after a summer run that drew only modest ratings in the US. Donald Sutherland and Tom Wlaschiha are among the returning cast.
