“Rebecca [Cutter], Gary [Lennon] and Jerry [Bruckheimer] delivered an elevated and well-executed drama that embodies all the hallmarks of a STARZ premium series with its dynamic, edgy storytelling, multicultural cast and female leadership both in front of and behind the camera,” said Christina Davis, president of original programming. “Audiences are already deeply engaged with these flawed and complex characters and in a second season we will continue to dive deeper into the relationships between them amidst the shifting tides on the Cape.”

Hightown follows Jackie Quiñones (Raymund), a National Marine Fisheries Agent who lives to party and has mastered picking up women by flaunting her gun and badge. We get the chance to see her journey to sobriety, intertwined with an unfolding murder investigation.
