Production

Joe Manganiello was originally cast as Rip Taggart[14] but left the series in April 2016 "due to a 'manageable' preexisting health issue".[15] About a week after Manganiello's departure, Walton Goggins was cast as his replacement. All of the already done shoots with Manganiello's character, nearly two full episodes, had to be re-shot.[11] Also Christopher Backus had been cast, but left the project to be on the series Roadies before the series started shooting.[16]

Season two, which consists of 10 episodes,[17] is being produced by a new production company, Six 2 North Productions Inc. Kimberly Peirce and Colin Bucksey are directors, with George Perkins the executive producer. Season two began filming on July 17, 2017, in Metro Vancouver, around Pemberton,[18] and throughout British Columbia, and will complete filming on November 23, 2017.[19][20]

Reception

On review aggregator Metacritic, Six has a rating of 54 out of 100 based on 14 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[21] The show also has a 55% rating based on 11 reviews from review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, stating "Six's well-crafted action and engaging characters are intriguing in spite of the show's trite pretense and familiar narrative".[22]
