Rectify is an American television drama series based on the life of a man after he is released from prison after a wrongful conviction and long sentence. It was created by Ray McKinnon and is the first original series from SundanceTV. It stars Aden Young, Abigail Spencer, J. Smith-Cameron, Adelaide Clemens, Clayne Crawford, and Luke Kirby.
The series premiered on April 22, 2013 with a first season run of six episodes. On May 1, 2013, SundanceTV ordered a second season of ten episodes, which premiered on June 19, 2014. A third season consisting of six episodes premiered on July 9, 2015. Prior to its third-season premiere, Rectify was renewed for a fourth season, later confirmed to be the final season, which premiered on October 26, 2016.
Daniel Holden was imprisoned as a teenager for the rape and murder of his 16-year-old girlfriend, Hanna. After nineteen years on death row, analysis of DNA evidence from his trial contradicts the prosecution's case, and an appeals court vacates the judgment of his original trial. Daniel is allowed to return to his hometown of Paulie, Georgia. The subsequent adjustments and events in the lives of Daniel, his extended family, and the townsfolk are explored as a character study in a slowly unfolding Southern Gothic story.
The series began development in 2008 when it was originally planned to air on AMC with Walton Goggins set to play the lead role. Three years after originally being developed at AMC, sister channel SundanceTV announced it had ordered the series for six episodes, to become the channel's first original scripted series. Production for the second season began on February 3, 2014, in Griffin, Georgia. Production began on the fourth and final season in April 2016.
