· SAG Award winner Peri Gilpin, known for her celebrated role as 'Ros' on the multiple Emmy-winning series, Frasier, will guest star in the second season of Acorn TV's hit new series, You're Killing Me, led and executive produced by Brooke Shields.

· In season two of You're Killing Me, Allie and Andi's first novel together is about to hit bookstores as an instant New York Times bestseller. But instead of celebrating that success, Andi is worried she'll be seen as an opportunist rather than a legitimate co-author. So, she is secretly determined to prove she has the talent to stand on her own. Meanwhile, Allie tries to find her romantic footing with Jack, which isn't easy when she and Andi keep stumbling into murders that put their friendship, their careers, and sometimes their lives on the line.

· Gilpin will guest star as Allie's (Shields) sister, Audra Chandler, a critically acclaimed writer with more awards than William Faulkner. Her pieces have been published in the most prestigious journals in the literary world, which drives Allie up the wall because, despite being a commercial success, she's never felt she's measured up to her seemingly perfect sister. But when Audra finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery while visiting Allie, their complicated relationship -- and how it evolves -- becomes the heart of the story.

· Brooke Shields continues to lead this successful series as 'Allie' alongside incredible co-stars, Amalia Williamson as 'Andi' and Tom Cavanagh as 'Jack'.

· Season two, which will again be set in the quaint Maine town of Founder's Cove, will also consist of six, hour-long episodes and is currently in production.

· Since its debut on May 18, You're Killing Me has been Acorn TV's most-watched series and biggest subscriber acquisition driver, joining record-breaking series Irish Blood (Alicia Silverstone) and Art Detectives (Stephen Moyer).

· You're Killing Me is created by Robin Bernheim, known for successes such as Hallmark's long-running drama When Calls the Heart and Mystery 101 and Netflix's Princess Switch trilogy and Mother of the Bride.

· You're Killing Me is a co-production between Shaftesbury and Topsail. Bernheim and Shields executive produce alongside Christina Jennings and Scott Garvie for Shaftesbury, Mike Volpe for Topsail and Dan March for Dynamic Television, as well as James Genn, Lee Goldberg, Phoef Sutton and Derek Thompson. AMC Studios and Dynamic Television hold worldwide distribution rights outside Canada.

· Gilpin is represented Affirmative Entertainment and Brecheen Feldman Breimer Silver & Thompson.
