Starz has given Crash, the hourlong drama based on the Paul Haggis Oscar winning film and the first original series for the premium network, a second season with a 13-episode order, report the trades. For its sophomore effort, the Lionsgate TV-produced Crash will take on a new direction with a new creative team led by Ira Steven Behr (The 4400), who has been tapped as executive producer/showrunner.
