ABC Family Renews STITCHERS for Second Season

ABC Family today announced that the hit original drama series "Stitchers" will return for a second season. The first procedural program for the network, "Stitchers" is currently airing Tuesdays at 9:00PM - 10:00PM ET/PT. The summer finale will air August 4, 2015.

"Fans are enjoying the camaraderie of the STITCHERS team and a lead character that is unapologetically smart, focused and a great role model to young women," said Karey Burke, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development, ABC Family. "We look forward to seeing more of the STITCHERS team tackling diverse cases as they unravel the mystery behind the program's creation."

Launch to date, "Stitchers" is cable TV's #1 scripted series on Tuesdays at 9 o'clock in Adults 18-34, Women 18-34, Viewers 12-34 and Females 12-34.

"Stitchers" follows Kirsten, a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be 'stitched' into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave. Working alongside Kirsten is Cameron, a brilliant neuroscientist whose passion for the program is evident in his work. The secret program is headed by Maggie, a skilled veteran of covert operations, and includes Linus, a socially immature bioelectrical engineer and communications technician. Kirsten's roommate, Camille, a gifted computer Science grad student, is also recruited to use her skills to assist Kirsten in her new role as a 'stitcher.'

"Stitchers" is executive-produced by Jeffrey Alan Schechter ("Overruled!"), Jonathan Baruch and Rob Wolken. The series stars Emma Ishta as Kirsten Clark, Kyle Harris ("Carrie Diaries") as Cameron Goodkin, Ritesh Rajan (upcoming "Jungle Book" feature) as Linus Ahluwalia, Salli Richardson-Whitfield ("Eureka," "I Am Legend") as Maggie Baptiste, and Allison Scagliotti ("Warehouse 13") as Camille Engelson.
