How to watch 'The Rainmaker' season 2 online — stream John Grisham adaptation from anywhere

Milo Callaghan is back as John Grisham’s underdog lawyer, taking on titans of the courtroom. And after defeating his former employer in the debut season, Rudy Baylor is riding high. Here's how to watch "The Rainmaker" season 2 from anywhere with a VPN.

Season 1 may have concluded with a sense of victory for Baylor, but there’s still more work to be done and the sophomore outing sees J. Lyman Stone take on a whole new batch of cases, going up against adversaries old and new.

Alongside his boss Jocelyn Stone (Lana Parilla) and paralegal Deck Shifflet (P.J. Byrne), Baylor picks up a case where the lives of hundreds of children hang in the balance and victory could taste as bitter as defeat. Rudy will also find himself up against old flame Sarah (Madison Iseman) in a case that could have ties to an international conspiracy, while Jocelyn’s ex-husband turns to her for help after getting tied up in legal trouble that could threaten the life of a minor league pitcher he coaches.

Callaghan is confident this season ups the ante, teasing “Everything we loved about making the first season, but bigger and better. We're going to learn a lot more about these people and their lives before Rudy came to J. Lyman Stone. We're going to meet a few new faces, reconnect with a few old ones. Wherever we smell injustice, there's room for a fight.”

It’s been a while since we last saw the lawyers of J. Lyman Stone, but it sounds like season 2 will be worth the wait, so read on to find out how to watch "The Rainmaker" online from around the world.
