"Legendary was an HBO Max, day one premiere. We knew we had something special and are proud that critics and audiences alike have embraced the series. Bringing this incredible world back for a second season furthers our commitment to high quality, compelling storytelling," Kevin Reilly, chief content officer at HBO Max and president of TNT, TBS and truTV, said in a statement.

Guest judges in season one included Pose star Dominique Jackson, Kelly Osbourne, Tamar Braxton and Nico Tortorella.

"Scout is thrilled and honored that our friends at HBO MAX have picked up Legendary for a second season.
