History announced today that they have renewed Robert Zemeckis’ UFO drama Project Blue Book for a second season of 10-episodes.

The show is inspired by the work of Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen) who carries out top-secret military investigations into UFOs and related phenomena in the 1950s and 60s.

Eli Lehrer, head of programming for History stated: “We are believers in ‘Project Blue Book’ and so is our audience who has sparked a conversation about the hundreds of unsolved cases and our nation’s military response to UFOs that have remained relatively secret until now.”
