News: Second Season of NBC’s <i>Trial & Error: Lady Killer</i> Debuts July 19

NEW WHODUNNIT UNFOLDS IN EAST PECK AS SECOND SEASON OF NBC’S ‘TRIAL & ERROR: LADY, KILLER’ DEBUTS THURSDAY, JULY 19

Multi-Award Winner Kristin Chenoweth Plays Town’s Grand Dame in Critically Applauded True-Crime Comedy

First Season Now Available Exclusively on the NBC App and Video on Demand

Last season the 9 p.m. telecast of “Trial & Error” averaged a 1.3 rating in adults 18-49 and 5.5 million viewers overall in “live plus seven day” ratings from Nielsen Media Research and the 9:30 episode averaged a 1.1 in 18-49 and 4.4 million viewers. The series delivered a strong upscale audience, indexing at a 119 at 9 p.m. and a 121 at 9:30 among adults 18-49 in $100K+ homes (with 100 representing an average concentration of those viewers).

The first season of “Trial & Error” is now available exclusively on the NBC App and Video on Demand.

Critics were fans of the first season, with Vulture writing, “Deconstructing and poking fun at true crime is a great idea, and ‘Trial & Error’… has some real fun with that.” Entertainment Weekly added, “The true-crime genre was due for a good zinging. It got one.”

In the spirit of true crime documentaries, the second season of this outrageous fish-out-of-water comedy centers on bright-eyed New York lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto), still relatively a newcomer in a tiny southern town, who is sturdily posed for his next big case there. His mission? To defend the eccentric first lady of East Peck, Lavinia Peck-Foster (Kristin Chenoweth), known for her flamboyant outfits, large hats and hairless cat, and who suddenly finds herself accused of the bizarre murder of her beloved husband. As Josh continues to settle into his makeshift office behind a taxidermy shop while working with his quirky team of local misfits, he suspects that winning his second big case this time should be easy (especially when his client is the town favorite), but is it?

The cast also includes Jayma Mays, Sherri Shepherd, Steven Boyer and Amanda Payton.

Jeff Astrof and Matt Miller serve as writers and executive producers. Jeffrey Blitz directs and also serves as an executive producer. “Trial & Error: Lady, Killer” is produced by Barge Productions and Good Session Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
