After becoming one of the top new shows in the 2022-2023 TV season (no. 3 overall, according to CBS), So Help Me Todd season 2 reunited the investigating duo of Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin. But even despite it's early success, the show was cancelled by CBS and ended its run after two seasons.
Created by Scott Prendergast, whose previous credits include the FX series Wilfred, So Help Me Todd was another investigative crime drama for CBS, along with NCIS season 21 and NCIS: Hawai'i season 3, the FBI franchise (FBI season 6, FBI: International season 3 and FBI: Most Wanted season 5), S.W.A.T. season 7 and more. But what helped So Help Me Todd stand out is its mix of comedy and drama as its two talented leads try to solve different cases each week.

So Help Me Todd season 2 cast
Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin headline So Help Me Todd as the mother and son investigating team.

Harden, in addition to winning an Oscar for her supporting role in 2000's Pollock, is a three-time Emmy nominee who has starred in The Morning Show, The Newsroom, Code Black, Fifty Shades of Grey, Damages and Mystic River.
Astin is likely most recognized from his time in the Pitch Perfect franchise, though he also has starred in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Ground Floor and an arc on Grey's Anatomy season 18.
The rest of the regular cast of So Help Me Todd includes Madeline Wise (Star Trek: Picard season 2) as Allison, Tristen J. Winger (2023's White Men Can't Jump) as Lyle, Inga Schlingmann (Law & Order: SVU) as Susan and Rosa Arredondo (Roswell, New Mexico) as Francey.
So Help Me Todd season 2 plot
The basic premise of So Help Me Todd is seeing how this mother-and-son team works together to solve cases despite having very different world views. The show has a case-of-the-week format, so there isn't really a larger overarching plotline, though character relationships evolve across the season.
