EPIX will premiere season two of Berlin Station on Sunday, Oct. 15, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The series follows Daniel Miller, a new arrival to Berlin’s CIA station who is on a clandestine mission to uncover the source of the Thomas Shaw leaks. The season opens in the thick of a New World Order that has taken root and is steadily deepening. In the wake of the Far Right tide sweeping across continental Europe, Germany finds itself on the precipice of a pivotal election. Season two stars Richard Armitage as Daniel Miller, Rhys Ifans as Hector Dejean, Richard Jenkins as Steven Frost, Leland Orser as Robert Kirsch and Michelle Forbes as Valerie Edwards. New to the cast this season are Ashley Judd (“Twin Peaks,” “Insurgent”) as the new Chief of Station, BB Yates, and Keke Palmer (“Scream Queens”) as young case officer April Lewis.
