'Manhattan' to return for second season.

Last year, WGN debuted Manhattan, a series about the scientists involved with the making of the atomic bomb. That series went on to become a success with both audiences and critics.

Now, this year, Manhattan takes on its second season, which will probably bring more drama, stress and scientific breakthroughs to the residents of Los Alamos, one of the key sites of the Manhattan Project.

Not only does the show cover a historical event, but it gives us insight into what life was like for those who lived on the project's top secret base in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The series is a drama at its heart, but because of its subject matter, it also often feels like science fiction. There are many reasons to watch the series, and we covered four of the most important last year.

Critics also love Manhattan and the series is likely to pick up some Emmy nominations when those are made on July 16. Series stars Olivia Williams and John Benjamin Hickey could pick up best actress and best actor in a drama, respectively, with the series possibly getting a best drama nod.
