HBO's gripping criminal justice drama "The Night Of" is set to return for Season 2. It is being speculated that the show is not going to follow the life of Naz anymore.

The Bustler reported if there's ever going to be a season 2, it might be based on Criminal Justice plot where an abused woman is being accused for the murder of her own husband.

It can be recalled that in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Steven Zaillian, executive producer, writer, and director of "The Night Of," said that they are thinking of doing another season and that if they can find the right material and if they find it "worthy" enough to be the show's material for season 2, then they will definitely do it. He also added, "This was designed as a stand-alone piece."

The intense TV series focuses on the in-depth analysis of the criminal justice system - from the police investigations, gathering of evidence, witness interviews, and other legal proceedings.

The premise of the eight-part drama series is about how Nasir "Naz" Khan (Riz Ahmed) turned for the worst the night he borrowed his father's taxi cab to go to a party. He was on his way to the said party when a girl (Sofia Black-D'Elia) mistook him for a "real" cab and suddenly rode at the back. Both decided to make it a night to remember. Naz ditched the party that he was supposed to go to and decided to have an adventure with the mysterious girl at back of her father's taxi.

They went back to her place where they spent the night with booze, drugs and sex. The following morning, Naz woke up covered in blood and with the mystery girl lying dead beside him. He has blood on his hands and the knife used to kill the girl was in his jacket pocket. He has no recollection of what happened the night before.

One thing's for sure, fans of "The Night Of" are excited and expecting superb story telling for Season 2.
