Showtime Cancels ‘Your Honor’ Before Season 2 Premiere

Bryan Cranston made a name for himself in numerous roles, especially as Walter White in “Breaking Bad.” Since then, he has branched out and showed fans just how good of an actor he truly is. Showtime has now cancelled a show featuring him that was just picking up steam.

While speaking on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Bryan Cranston revealed that Your Honor will be concluding after its upcoming second season. The season is still currently filming, and will still presumably air.

“I am [currently] preparing for the second and last season of Your Honor, which is a limited series that I did for Showtime. As they tell me, it got higher ratings than any other series they’ve ever had — and so, one more season of that.”

As reported by Deadline, it was also revealed that Joey Hartstone, who was a writer on Season 1, is the new showrunner. Hartstone will follow original showrunner Peter Moffat, who chose not to return so he could stay in the UK with his family.

Your Honor originated as a limited series but, following its breakout ratings success, it was renewed for a 10-episode second season last year. Bryan Cranston stars as Michael Desiato, a respected New Orleans judge whose teenage son is involved in a hit-and-run that leads to a lot of impossible decisions.

Your Honor also stars Hunter Doohan, Hope Davis, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Michael Stuhlbarg, and Carmen Ejogo. We’ll have to see when the second season will finally drop, but at least they know that the story is over after this season while they film it.
