Judith Light, Gethin Anthony and Jay O. Sanders are set to star alongside Jack Huston, Cameron Britton and Carla Gugino in Season 2 of Spectrum Originals and Lionsgate's anthology series MANHUNT: LONE WOLF.

Judith Light plays "Bobi" Jewell, Richard's mother who is astonished when her son is heralded in the national media as the hero of the Atlanta bombing.

Jay O. Sanders plays Watson Bryant, a semi-qualified real estate lawyer who becomes Richard's fiercest advocate. Watson is out of his depth on this criminal case, but he won't give up until he clears his friend's name and makes both the Feds and media pay.
