Inspired by true events, season two of WGN America’s Pure picks up with Anna (Paxton-Beesley) going it alone after Noah disappears for a year. As the new head of her home, Anna finds herself doing what she needs to do in order to protect her family, even if it means reorganizing the cocaine pipeline while answering to the Mexican cartel’s boss. In an attempt to shield her children from their involvement with the drug cartel, Anna finds herself in the very center of the drug ring she and Noah (Robbins) attempted to take down.
Season one of the series took us deep inside a closed, secretive subculture through the eyes of a conflicted, good-hearted man trying to protect his family and preserve his faith. Inspired by true events, “Pure” is the journey of Noah Funk, a committed Mennonite pastor, whom with his strong-willed wife, Anna Funk, are determined to rid their community of the scourge of drugs and its nefarious ties to a trans-border smuggling alliance with ruthless Mexican cocaine cartels. Despite their greatest efforts, Noah and Anna found themselves thrust headlong into a desperate world of violence, greed, and betrayal. Alyson Hannigan joins the series as a recurring guest star.
