The six-episode second season of DEPARTURE dropped on Thursday, August 5, 2021 on Peacock. Season 2 follows Kendra Malley as she's recruited to investigate a new transportation disaster -- the derailment of an experimental high-speed train in rural Michigan. Pressure mounts for Kendra and her team to crack the puzzle as the small town reels in shock, and the world demands answers. Their investigation reveals a plethora of disconnected events and a range of potential suspects with believable motives: a disillusioned employee, a local anti-technology politician, the tech mogul who developed the train's software...and even a man with ties to a Mexican drug cartel.
