USA reloads Shooter

Ryan Phillippe in Shooter

Ryan Phillippe in Shooter

USA Network has ordered a second season of its drama series Shooter, which stars Ryan Phillippe as an expert marksman.

The show, adapted from the 2007 movie of the same name, follows an army-trained sniper who is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president.

Based on Stephen Hunter’s novel Point of Impact, the small-screen adaptation is from Paramount TV, which made the film, and Universal Cable Productions.

The show’s first-run premiere was pushed back several times following fatal shootings of US police.

Last August, USA delayed the season-one finale of its drama Mr Robot because of a scene in which a man shot himself live on TV. The episode was due to air in the immediate aftermath of a real-life on-air shooting of a US news reporter.
