Some small-town residents are going to keep trying to escape. EPIX has renewed the From series for a second season. The first season concludes tonight on the channel and season two will launch sometime next year.

Sheriff Boyd Stevens (Perrineau) has instituted strong rules in the town to maintain order and to keep residents safe. Jim and Tabitha Matthews (Bailey and Moreno) find themselves trapped in the town after a car crash. Together, they must find a way to keep their children — Julie (Cheramy) and Ethan (Webster) — safe as they desperately search for a way back home.
