Dustin Milligan & Jesse Leigh Interview: Rutherford Falls Season 2
Rutherford Falls is back for season 2, premiering June 16 through Peacock.

But when Bobbie's opponent is the tenacious and mercenary Feather Day, it will take all of Terry Thomas' (Michael Greyeyes, Home Before Dark) coaching to get them ready.
