Deadline report that Netflix have ordered a second season with a new cast and a 'different and self-contained story.' 

The new series will be produced by Herzog & Co and Los Angeles Times Studios, with executive producers Mark Herzog, Christopher G. Cowen and Alexandra Cunningham, of Desperate Housewives fame all on board.

As well as the second series, it's also been announced that Netflix will produce a docu-series about the real John Meehan, with people involved in the case interviewed on camera in the style of the network's other recent hit Abducted in Plain Sight.    

The first series of Dirty John is based on the Los Angeles Times podcast which followed the real life story of the con artist, nicknamed Dirty John by his friends.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia when the Netflix series was released on Valentine's Day, star Eric Bana admitted he found playing the complex character both 'uncomfortable and interesting'.   

'It does have an effect. You could go away feeling too much like John at the end of the day,' he said of filming the eight part drama. 

While Eric added that he has become 'pretty good at switching off' over his more than two decades in the industry, he admitted there are definitely certain characters that leave an impact on him while he's shooting. 

Based on a true story: As well as the second series, it's also been announced that Netflix will produce a docu-series about the real John Meehan and Debra Newell (pictured)

'There is part of your brain that is always - because you have to - creatively thinking about the character and the work you have tomorrow. 

You are definitively dedicating a good part of your brain to your character and your character's thought processes. It makes sense that it's going to be a little uncomfortable.'

Eric, who has been married to Rebecca Gleeson since 1997, claimed coming home from set on the intense docu-series was hard at times.

'It's not something that manifests itself in outward behavior, but most definitely there are times I'd come home from work and just be like "don't look at that person". I didn't want to make eye contact,' Eric said, explaining he was still thinking about the character.

'I walked around feeling guilty most of the time because of the effect that he (John) has and his behaviour. '

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
