Not a source of blockbuster ratings, Sundance’s “Rectify” is a source of immense critical acclaim.
Citing that industry recognition — and the show’s role in building the Sundance scripted brand — the network confirms that it has ordered a fourth season of the drama.
The fourth season order comes in advance of Thursday’s third season premiere.
“Even in an increasingly crowded field of dramas on television, ‘Rectify’ has established itself as something special,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC and SundanceTV. “What Ray McKinnon, this incredible cast and everyone associated with the show have been able to achieve is remarkable, and we are so pleased to usher in this third season with an order for a fourth. ‘Rectify’ has had such a huge impact in establishing SundanceTV as a home for high-quality, intelligent drama. We are excited to continue this important partnership with Ray and the entire team.”
