The star-studded digital series Ladies of the Lake wowed audiences with its delicious drama and talented cast this summer -- so much so, Amazon has given the soap opera the green light for another season.
The jaw-dropping series, based on the book of the same name by Days of our Lives' executive producer Ken Corday, begins production on its next season in January and is scheduled for a summer 2018 debut.
Officially billed as Ladies of the Lake: Return to Avalon, the four-episode second season will star original cast members Marie Wilson (ex-Summer Townsend, DAYS), Jessica Morris (ex-Jennifer Rappaport, One Life to Live), Lilly Melgar (ex-Lily Rivera, GH), Jillian Clare (ex-Abigail Deveraux, DAYS) and Kyle Lowder (ex-Brady Black, DAYS; ex-Rick Forrester, B&B). Arianne Zucker (Nicole, DAYS) is also scheduled to return, but this time as a series regular character.
"We had always hoped to be able to bring the audience more Ladies of the Lake and thankfully, the numbers have made that possible," says executive producer and series star Kyle Lowder in a statement. "We are bringing back the entire creative team from the first season and are excited to continue telling the story of the women of Avalon."
Adds executive producer/writer Michael Caruso: "The book was an amazing launching point, but fans should definitely expect some major tonal changes for season two. We listened to our audience and are going to bring you an edgier, sexier, faster paced show. Season one was about laying the groundwork for the characters and bringing the original novel to life. Season two is about the fallout from the events of the first season and kicking the story into high gear."
