MANHATTAN
WGN America, 9:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: William Petersen (pictured) joins the cast for Season 2, as the new leader of the Los Alamos facility charged with developing the atomic bomb. Physicist Frank Winter, played by John Benjamin Hickey, was carted away by the military at the end of Season 1, and begins this new season incarcerated in a Guantanamo-type top-secret prison. Hickey gets to really shine in this season opener – as does Olivia Williams, who plays his wife, Liza, whose learning of the government’s secret bomb-making program was the reason her husband was carted away.
