HBO has renewed its drama series Perry Mason for a second season, the network said Wednesday.

The series, a reimagining of the classic 1950s and 1960s CBS series of the same name starring Raymond Burr, debuted on HBO June 21. The first episode of the series has been seen by more than 8 million viewers, according to the network.

Perry Mason stars Mathhew Rhys as the iconic defense lawyer.

“It has been an exciting journey to work with the immensely talented team behind Perry Mason,” said HBO Programming EVP Francesca Orsi in a statement. “Viewers have relished being transported back in time to 1930’s Los Angeles each week, and we are thrilled to welcome the show back for a second season.”

HBO has set a June 21 premiere date for its Perry Mason reboot, the network said Thursday.

The series, which follows the origins of the legendary criminal defense lawyer Perry Mason -- most famously played by Raymond Burr in the CBS series of the same name from 1957-1966 -- stars Matthew Rhys, John Lithgow and Tatiana Maslany, said the network.

Perry Mason is directed by Amanda Burrell, Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Ron Fitzgerald, Joe Horacek, Rolin Jones, and Timothy Van Patten.
