BBC America renewed Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency for a second season of 10 episodes today. The filmed-in-Vancouver 8-episode first season of the surreal detective series — inspired by the cult novel by Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams — is set in Seattle with Samuel Barnett (Jupiter Ascending) as the eccentric detective and Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) as his loner assistant Todd. Together they investigate seemingly unrelated cases which turn out to be connected to a larger supernatural mystery.
Showrunner Max Landis seems pleased.
