Season 2
Riley Parks is back!
After last season's cliffhanger finale, Season 2 of The Client List promises to be no easier for Riley Parks (Jennifer Love Hewitt) at home or at work.
The Texas single mother of two who, after being deserted by her husband and left in financial straits, took a job at a seemingly traditional day spa only to learn that sexual favours are being offered there on the side.
After her estranged husband Kyle (Brian Hallisay) returns, for better or for worse, Riley must walk the fine line between her anger and love for him and the romantic feelings she has for her brother-in-law Evan (Colin Egglesfield).
Riley also takes a larger role at the spa, resulting in added power, responsibility and burden, further complicating her life.
New threats abound this season and trust becomes an overwhelming issue for Riley as everyone, even those she believes she can count on the most, seems to be hiding their own secret.
Also starring in The Client List are Golden Globe winner Cybill Shepherd as Riley's mother Linette and Emmy Award-winning actress Loretta Devine as The Rub of Sugar Land's owner Georgia.
Based on Lifetime's hit 2010 original movie, The Client List is executive produced by Hewitt, Dannielle Thomas (The Client List), Howard Braunstein (The Client List, The Informant!), Ed Decter (In Plain Sight, There's Something About Mary), John J. Strauss (In Plain Sight, There's Something About Mary), Michael Reisz (In Plain Sight, Boston Legal) and Allan Arkush (Heroes, Crossing Jordan), who also serves as director, with Fedora Films and Jaffe/Braunstein producing, in association with Sony Pictures Television.
It was developed by Jordan Budde.
