Seasoned security system salesman and all-round veteran of Purge night, it’s been announced that Ethan Hawke will reprise the role of Sandin for next week’s season 2 finale of The Purge TV show.

Due to air next Tuesday, December 17th, this marks Hawke’s first appearance in the cult horror franchise in six-and-a-half years, with USA Network confirming that his James Sandin character is featured “in the finale’s cold open, which flashes back to one week before the first national purge and the first time his high-tech security system is tested.” Color us very, very intrigued.

You’ll no doubt remember that Sandin was a proprietor of a best-in-class home security system, though as Purge night unfolded, and the Founding Fathers of America unleashed sheer anarchy on the streets for a full 12 hours, Sandin’s ivory tower suddenly begins to crumble.
