BEVERLY HILLS , Calif., Aug. 2 (UPI) -- Starz says it has renewed Steven Soderbergh's 30-minute drama The Girlfriend Experience for a second season, which will focus on new characters and plotlines.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Soderbergh will return as executive producer, along with Philip Fleishman, Lodge Kerrigan, Amy Seimetz and Jeff Cuban. Andrew Fierberg and Adele Romanski will also executive produce the show.
Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz will serve as showrunners, writers and directors for the 14-episode sophomore season of the anthology series.
"The first season of The Girlfriend Experience allowed us to accommodate all viewing appetites with the traditional weekly episodic premiere schedule as well as a binging option for the entire 13 episodes," Carmi Zlotnik, managing director at Starz, said in a statement. "We're excited to offer Starz subscribers a second season that will explore new GFEs, clients and relationships as we take viewers back into this world that questions the price of intimacy and its emotional consequences."
Season 1 starred Riley Keough as an intern at a prestigious law firm who finds herself navigating the world of "transactional relationships."
