Miami, FL – February 18, 2016 – Following the critically acclaimed launch of the show’s first season, HBO has renewed the drama series, Vinyl, for a second season. Created by Martin Scorsese (HBO’s Boardwalk Empire), Mick Jagger, Terence Winter (HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) and Rich Cohen, the show is a ride through the sex- and drug-addled music business of the early 1970s at the dawn of punk, disco and hip-hop.

Praised “rich, brilliant and addictive,” by The Hollywood Reporter, Vinyl kicked off its ten-episode season on Sunday, February 14th with a two-hour pilot directed by Scorsese. The series tells the story of Richie Finestra, a record label president, who is trying to save his company and his soul without destroying everyone in his path.
