‘Dangerous Liaisons’ Renewed For Second Season Ahead Of November Premiere on Starz

Starz already is smitten with its Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont: The network has renewed Dangerous Liaisons for a second season, ahead of its November debut.

Dangerous Liaisons is addictive, provocative and beautifully rendered,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming at Starz. “This prelude to the famed 18th century novel illuminates pre-revolution Paris at its most decadent. We are confident that by the end of Season 1 viewers will be craving more scheming and seduction.”
