Towards the end of the clip, Dirk wakes up from a dream that hints that him being held captive in a futuristic prison was just a figment of his imagination. However, as he gets up, he finds himself in a facility, supervised by some guards.
"Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" focuses on the power of coincidence. The first season of the show successfully caught the interest of viewers because of its unique plot and the chemistry of its main characters.
Describing the series, BBC America President Sarah Barnett said, "Outlandishly different, 'Dirk Gently' has hit a sweet spot with BBCA fans."
She then added: "With Elijah Wood and Samuel Barnett's chemistry as oddball detective/sidekick duo, and our creators promising ever greater genius-weird cosmic mystery in the next case, we're happy to announce more of this truly original and entertaining show."
"Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" season 2 premieres sometime in fall of this year.
