According to the show’s Wiki page, Season 2 of the show will focus on a new story with a new set of characters. Actors that appeared in season 1 will be returning for season 2 but will play an entire new set of characters in the new story. The show stars Felicity Huffman and Timothy Hutton. Both will be returning for season 2 as are Regina King, Elvis Nolasco, Richard Cabral, and Lili Taylor. “American Crime” Season 1 received a good amount of critical acclaim including ten Primetime Emmy nominations.
