If you were a fan of USA's The Sinner, then we have some good news for you.
USA Network has placed an order for eight additional episodes of the series, but it will likely be without its leading lady, Jessica Biel.
According to THR, the actress is not expected to return as a series regular, so there is a glimmer of hope she could appear in a recurring status.
Biel's co-star, Bill Pullman will be returning as Detective Harry Ambrose in the new episodes. It makes sense when you consider the fact that the action will revolve around a brand new case.
"The Sinner was a huge success for USA Network," said Chris McCumber, president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.

“In our second season, we’ll follow Detective Ambrose as he tracks his newest 'why-dunnit,' while staying true to the unique, edge-of-your-seat storytelling that captivated audiences and critics alike.”
The Sinner Season 1 focused on Cora (Biel), a young mother who committed a seemingly random murder. As the story unraveled, secrets emerged that threw a whole lot of things about the case into question.
It concluded with Cora being sentenced to two years in a psychiatric facility in the aftermath of the case dividing everyone involved.

The show was an unlikely success for USA Network. In delayed viewing, it averaged 3.8 million total viewers while securing 1.6 million in the advertiser-craved 18-49 demographic.
It cemented itself as the network's number one show and even secured itself a string of awards nominations.
