Patrick Dempsey has been around in movies and TV shows for almost 40 years now, following his early breakout role in the 1987 teen romantic comedy, Can’t Buy Me Love, but he also has plenty of other notable roles under his belt. One of his most famous performances that immediately comes to mind is playing Dr. Derek Shepherd in 247 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, the beloved medical procedural starring Ellen Pompeo that’s been on the air for over 20 years. He first played the character in 2005 before suiting up for the final time in 2021. He’s also famous for playing Dylan in the 2011 sci-fi blockbuster, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which grossed over $1.1 billion at the box office. He even made his Dexter debut in the now-canceled prequel, Original Sin, which is streaming on Paramount+.
More recently, however, Dempsey has returned to TV with his new network crime thriller, Memory of a Killer, which co-stars Michael Imperioli, a long-time actor on The Sopranos. The first two episodes of Memory of a Killer premiered back at the end of January, and the show just wrapped up with an explosive finale a few days ago that has fans around the world questioning what could happen next. In the finale, Angelo’s work and personal life, which he’s been working all season to keep separate, finally collide in one final confrontation with The Ferryman. Less than three days removed from the Season 1 finale of Memory of a Killer, news broke yesterday evening that the show has been renewed for Season 2. The premiere of the show has scored over 16 million viewers over the last few months, making it one of Fox’s biggest premieres in history, so the decision to renew was likely an easy one.
What is ‘Memory of a Killer’ About?
The official synopsis for Memory of a Killer reads as follows:
“When hitman Angelo is hit with early-onset Alzheimer’s, his worlds collide, putting his family in danger.”
Memory of a Killer is based on the novel De zaak Alzheimer’s by Jeff Geeraerts and Carl Joos, and it was written and created for TV by Tracey Malone and Ed Whitmore. Plot details about Season 2 are being kept under wraps for now, but after such a strong debut season on Fox, it’s a safe bet the network wants to see the show return as quickly as possible.
