SkyShowtime has made its first recommission with news that Original series Veronika has been renewed for a second season.
Season one of Veronika won over audiences with its crime thriller story about the murder of two teenage girls and police officer Veronika Gren (Alexandra Rapaport), a mother of two who struggling with a complicated family life and a secret pill addiction, who finds herself in a murder investigation that goes deeper than anyone in town would like to believe.
The new season continues to follow Veronika, who is still struggling with the ghosts of her past and her mysterious visions. She’s impatient to return to her regular post in the police and wishes for things to go back to normal. As the series unfolds, she finds herself in the middle of a dark and perplexing murder mystery, rooting back 60 years in time. As Veronika is torn between the world of living and the dead, her facade begins to crack. An inevitable chain of events puts everything she’s worked to rebuild at risk.

Veronika has proven to be a huge success, captivating so many of our members across all our markets. Once again with Alexandra Rapaport and Tobias Santelmann at the helm, and a superb team of creators behind the scenes, we believe viewers will continue to enjoy this very unique crime story with a supernatural twist that Veronika is.”
