Vice TV renews four docuseries

Michael K Williams fronts Black Market

Youth-skewing cablenet Vice TV has renewed documentary series Black Market, The Devil You Know, While The Rest of Us Die and I Was a Teenage Felon for second seasons on its linear channels and platform.

Black Market, hosted by actor Michael K Williams, returns after a five-year break. The show is a copro between Williams’ prodco Freedome, prodco Picture Farm and Vice World News.

The series investigates the complex factors that drive people into often dangerous underground economies and illicit trade networks.

The Devil You Know is a six-parter exploring the rise of online cults in the US. Season two is produced by Vice Studios and executive produced by Sarah Sharkey Pearce. It is executive produced by Vanessa Case for Vice Studios and Catherine Whyte for Vice TV.

While The Rest of Us Die S2, produced by New York’s Efran Films, examines the government decisions that have negatively affected ordinary Americans.

I Was A Teenage Felon showcases some of the most shocking cases of adolescent crime. Its second run is being produced by Industrial Media-owned The Intellectual Property Corporation.

Morgan Hertzan, executive VP and general manager of Vice TV, said: “Our January performance, coupled with the return of such a gripping slate of shows, is just the start of what’s going to be a very exciting year for the network. Vice TV has always been a home for courageous storytellers and a destination for programming that challenges and defies the status quo. The success of these series are rooted in our commitment to bringing viewers a new perspective.”
