Steven Van Zandt in Lilyhammer.

Today, Netflix announced Season 2 of Lilyhammer will debut on Friday, December 13th at 12:01am PT to Netflix subscribers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. Per usual, Netflix will debut the entire season -- made up of 8 episodes -- all at once. The series stars Steven Van Zandt (The Sopranos - not to mention his time with Bruce Springsteen's legendary E Street Band) as Frank “The Fixer” Tagliano, a mob fixer who enters the witness protection program in Lillehammer, Norway. Season 2 continues with Frank living under the alias of Johnny Henriksen, a successful nightclub owner and father of two. But everything Frank cares for is threatened when his former mob associates find out he is still alive.“The second season of Lilyhammer is an amped up ride that gives us Steven Van Zandt at his glorious, baddest, best,” said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix. “Whether you enjoyed season one or are catching it for the first time, Lilyhammer is a mob show like no other.”
