TV One’s “ATL Homicide” has been given a second season.

The show, which aired over the summer, features two retired Atlanta detectives David Quinn and Vince Velazquez re-telling their most fascinating cases via narration and re-enactment using actors.

Quinn said they will do 12 more cases, presumably for 2019.

“This is like an APD greatest hits LP for us,” Quinn said in an earlier interview. “This is our repertoire. You start playing the music and we’ll start dancing.”

The show is also debuting Friday in the U.K. under the name “Homicide’s Elite.”
