True Justice debuted at the end of March, with episode three becoming the highest-rated programme on Reelz this year, drawing more than 1.2 million viewers.

The Hubbard Broadcasting-owned network has now ordered a 13-episode second season of the show, which follows a team of undercover cops who take on criminals in Seattle.

The series is produced by Sojo Productions and Voltage Pictures, in association with Steamroller Productions. Seagal, Nicolas Chartier and Phillip B Goldfine are the exec producers.

Matthew Singerman, senior VP of programming at Reelz, said: “The audience growth in just three episodes demonstrates this show is striking a chord with our viewers.”
