"Not since "Dynasty" has trashy television been so delicious…" – In Newsweekly
LOS ANGELES – August 23, 2006 – here!, America's premium gay and lesbian television network, announces that the highly-anticipated second season of its acclaimed Gothic primetime soap "Dante's Cove" will premiere on the network on September 1.
"The response to 'Dante's Cove' was so overwhelmingly positive that we immediately committed to a second season," said Paul Colichman, Founder and CEO of here! Networks. "The series fits perfectly with our model of providing provocative, entertaining material that you will only see on here!."
Starring Gregory Michael, Charlie David, William Gregory Lee, Tracy Scoggins, Nadine Heimann, Jon Fleming, and Gabriel Romero, along with special guest star Thea Gill ("Queer as Folk"), season two picks up right where we left off…only now the residents of the Hotel Dante, joined by a slew of newcomers, are forced to deal with issues brought to a boiling point at the end of season one: addiction, insanity, love, infidelity, coming out and breaking up. Add to that a dash of the supernatural and you have all the elements for what promises to be one of the hottest, sexiest and most suspenseful shows on TV this fall.
"Dante's Cove: Season Two," directed by Sam Irvin, follows the successful broadcast of the series' first season, which became a milestone for here! as it was the first original series renewed by the network for a second season. The complete first season of Dante's Cove will be available on DVD beginning August 8.
In addition to finding Dante's Cove: Season One on DVD and Dante's Cove: Season Two on here! Networks, www.dantescove.com, the show's new website, will feature cast bios and photos, a series history, video clips and various other exciting elements.
