DESCRIPTION: (from Starz's press release, April 2013) Starz Chief Executive Officer, Chris Albrecht, announced a second season order for the STARZ Original series, "Da Vinci's Demons," following its recent record-setting first season weekend debut on STARZ on Friday, April 12. The historical fantasy created by David S. Goyer and produced by Adjacent Productions, follows the 'untold' story of the world's greatest genius, Leonardo da Vinci, during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. More than 2.14 million total viewers tuned-in opening weekend to "Da Vinci's Demons," making it the highest-rated premiere weekend ever for a STARZ Original series. Production of season two of "Da Vinci's Demons" is expected to begin in Wales in May 2013, with an on-air return expected on STARZ in 2014. Brilliant and passionate, 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future, but invent it.
