Aug. 25 (UPI) — Showtime has announced it renewed its legal drama, Your Honor, for a second season.
The 10-episode first season premiered in December 2020.
It stars Bryan Cranston as a respected New Orleans judge whose teenage son is involved in a hit-and-run incident “that leads to a high-stakes game of lies, deceit and impossible choices,” according to the cable network.
The show’s ensemble includes Hunter Doohan, Michael Stuhlbarg, Hope Davis, Carmen Ejogo and Isiah Whitlock Jr.
Peter Moffat whose credits include The Night Of and Undercover is the series’ showrunner and executive producer.
“We were blown away by Your Honor … by the power of Peter’s storytelling, by the depth of Bryan’s performance, and by the overwhelming reaction from our subscribers who watched in record numbers,” Gary Levine — president of entertainment at Showtime Networks — said at a Television Critics Association event on Tuesday.
“Imagine our delight when we learned that Peter believed he had more story to tell and Bryan felt he had more depths to plumb. So, along with its millions of fans, I am gleefully shouting ‘Encore!'”
