Press Release:
Season Two of showcase’s BROTHERHOOD continues the blue-collar saga of Providence, Rhode Island native sons Michael and Tommy Caffee. Following last season’s shocking finale, the Caffee brothers attempt to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and move forward with their separate but intersecting ambitions.

Picking up six months later, Tommy is in the thick of election politics, attorney general investigations and dealing with the fallout of his wife Eileen’s infidelity. Michael is recuperating from his injuries and still in the dark as to the identity of his attacker.

Season Two continues with the unique style of ruthlessly honest storytelling, focusing on the aftermath of the Caffee brothers’ many misdeeds and confrontation.
