“So Help Me Todd ss 2”: release date, announcement

The sequel to the legal drama “So Help Me Todd” has not been officially announced. Film critics were unflattering about the season 1, which may affect the decision of the project management to start developing new episodes. If the shooting of the season 2 nevertheless begins, then its premiere will take place no earlier than the fall of 2023. In the meantime, we just have to keep an eye on the news.

Plot

Portland. Todd has to expose clients of an insurance company who are trying to illegally collect insurance money. One of his “victims” is a woman who claimed to have suffered a neck injury while working with a vacuum cleaner. Seeing her without a neck brace, he took several pictures to give to the employer. But when her children appeared nearby, dreaming of buying cereal from the store, Todd changed his mind.

Due to good intentions, he often loses profits, and for the past 2 years he has not been able to restore his detective license — it was seized under very dubious circumstances. Margaret often reminds her son that he owes her a large amount of money and to this day does not give it back. Then Todd decides to repay his mother in installments. Arriving at her house, he discovers that Harry, his stepfather, is missing.

Mother, who has kept the law all her life and worked as a lawyer for many years, does not understand where Harry could go. He suffered from Parkinson’s disease, and the woman was afraid that he would commit suicide, like his father. Together with her son, she goes in search of clues that can lead her to her husband. Todd does not hesitate to break the law and shamelessly uses gadgets to achieve results.

Margaret is dissatisfied with his methods, but the desire to find out where her husband has gone takes over. Arguing with her son about the need to break all sorts of rules, she soon realizes that this is how they can achieve the real truth. Todd finds Harry aboard the plane, and his stepfather confesses that he does not want to spend his remaining years with a woman as powerful as Margaret.

Confused, she realizes how hard it is for her loved ones to live with her. Margaret tries to control everything: the lives of children, workers, a few friends. Trying to get rid of a bad habit, she takes her son to work and tries to challenge the decision to revoke Todd’s license as a private detective. But is it so easy in her position to let others control the situation?

After Harry leaves, Margaret and Todd spend a lot of time together. The son learns that she has been trying to restore his license through the courts for two years, and this brings them even closer. The union of mother and son causes a lot of controversy, but the career of both is going up…
