“Blood & Treasure is a fun, escapist adventure with
comedic elements filmed in multiple locales around the world that has
been a great performer and a wonderful addition to our summer schedule,”
said Amy Reisenbach, Executive Vice President, Current Programs, CBS
Entertainment. “We’ve heard the story pitch for season two and look
forward to seeing all-new exploits from Russia to Southeast Asia next
year.”
