ABC Family will bring back its procedural drama series Stitchers for a second season, the network said Tuesday.

Stitchers, which follows a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be ‘stitched’ into the minds of the recently deceased to help solve crimes, will end its freshman campaign Aug. 4, according to the network. The series premiered last month with 1.2 million viewers, according to ABC family.

“Fans are enjoying the camaraderie of the Stitchers team and a lead character that is unapologetically smart, focused and a great role model to young women,” said Karey Burke, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development, ABC Family in a statement. “We look forward to seeing more of the Stitchers team tackling diverse cases as they unravel the mystery behind the program’s creation.”
