What Is It?
Based on the movie franchise of the same name, The Purge takes place in a dark future where one day out of each year all criminal activity is legal, including murder. Following is the official synopsis for the second season:
Season 2 explores how a single Purge night affects the lives of four interconnected characters over the course of the ensuing year, all inevitably leading up to the next Purge. Premiering this fall on USA Network, the second season of the anthology series opens on Purge night but dives deeper than ever before in to what the Purge world looks like the other 364 days of the year.

Status
This series performed well for USA in its first season, but we have seen a tendency of late for shows to experience notable declines in viewership in their second season. Whether that occurs with The Purge remains to be seen. You can keep up with the ratings results and further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
