Renewed: Vinyl

New HBO drama Vinyl has been renewed for a second season after just one episode.

Created by Mick Jagger & Martin Scorsese & Rich Cohen and Terence Winter, premiered with a modest 764,000 viewers but has been critically well received.

Directed by Scorsese, the series stars Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, a record label president who is trying to save his company.

Deadline notes that HBO is well-known for preparing a second season before the first even premieres.

It airs Mondays in Australia on Showcase.
