‘Scrublands’ season 2 premiere: How to watch, where to stream free
A brand new season of the hit crime drama series Scrublands premieres exclusively on AMC+ Thursday, May 29 at 10/9c.
Those hoping to catch the highly anticipated return of the series can stream Scrublands through Philo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) and Sling (50% off first month).
What is Scrublands about?
For those unfamiliar with the hit AMC+ series, Scrublands follows a disenchanted investigative journalist named Martin Scarsden, who follows the orders of his boss and sets out to write a follow-up piece on a mass shooting a year after the tragedy.
The mass shooting occurred in the small, rural town of Riversend and was carried out by charismatic, young priest amidst an endless drought. Five parishioners were the victims.

Soon, his plans begin to unravel when he discovers his childhood friend, Jasper, brutally murdered—and Mandy accused as the prime suspect.
