[via press release from YouTube] YOUTUBE ORDERS SECOND SEASON OF CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED, FAN FAVORITE "IMPULSE"
Season Two of Universal Cable Productions' Hit Series to Debut on YouTube Premium in 2019
LOS ANGELES -- July 19, 2018 - YouTube announced that it has ordered a second season of the critically-acclaimed supernatural thriller IMPULSE from Universal Cable Productions (UCP). Since its debut on June 6, the first episode of IMPULSE has generated nearly 8 million views. Season Two of the 10-episode, hour-long series will premiere on YouTube Premium in 2019. Watch the teaser for Season 2 here.
In Season One of IMPULSE, Maddie Hasson stars as Henrietta "Henry" Cole, a rebellious 16-year-old girl who has always felt different from her peers and longs to escape from her seemingly quaint small town. During a traumatic event, Henry discovers she has the extraordinary ability to teleport, and her newfound power confirms Henry's conviction that she really was different from everybody else -- but it now makes her the focus of those who want to control her.
Returning for a second season to the Toronto-based production are Maddie Hasson (Twisted, The Finder) as "Henry," Missi Pyle (Gone Girl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as "Cleo," Sarah Desjardins (Van Helsing, Wayward Pines) as "Jenna," Enuka Okuma (How to Get Away with Murder, Rookie Blue, Slasher) as "Deputy Anna," and Craig Arnold (Degrassi: The Next Generation, Heartland) as "Lucas."
IMPULSE is directed and executive produced by Hypnotic's Doug Liman (Bourne Identity, Live. Die. Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow). David Bartis and Gene Klein, who produce UCP's hit series "Suits" on USA Network and SYFY's "Nightflyers," also serve as Executive Producers. Lauren LeFranc (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) is the series' Showrunner and Executive Producer.
"This dramatic thriller has all of the right elements -- with unexplained events and complex characters who drew us into their mysterious world right from the start," said Susanne Daniels, Global Head of Original Content, YouTube. "We're thrilled to continue our partnership with Universal Cable Productions and the talented team at Hypnotic to create another intriguing season."
Viewers can watch Season One of IMPULSE exclusively on YouTube Premium on the IMPULSE channel. #ImpulseSeries.
