The crime drama series, which ended last year after two seasons on Showtime, has become a hit on US Netflix since arriving on the streaming service in late May.
Bryan Cranston, Rosie Perez, Michael Stuhlbarg, Hope Davis, Lilli Kay, Jimi Stanton, Benjamin Flores Jr., Andrene Ward-Hammond, Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Keith Machekanyanga star in the series Your Honor (US), which follows a father, New Orleans Judge Michael Desiato (Cranston), who lost his son after the boy was involved in a hit-and-run.
According to The New York Times, the series has had one billion viewing minutes per week since it was released on American Netflix. That makes Your Honor (US) a hit for the streamer, especially considering that only twenty episodes were made. That's why there have been discussions with CBS Studios about making a third season.
The following was reported about the series:
"Last year, Paramount executives decided to end the series. But now, given the show's performance in recent weeks, the series may have some life left after all. CBS Studios executives say , which produced the series, is in active discussions with Netflix to revive the series for a third season. “No final decision has been made yet.”
Cranston did have some hope for a third season after the series wrapped its second season in 2023. He said, “I’m not sure that there could be or there is. There is some discussion. Showtime has indicated there is interest and we’re very proud to know that every episode in Season 2 increased in the audience from the previous week. If it happens, fantastic but it’d have to be some great reason to keep expanding in this world and to find out where the allegiances are. I’d be very interested in producing that. I don’t know about being in it because my guy’s back in prison.”
Robert and Michelle King are behind Your Honor (US) and another series of theirs, Evil, has also become more popular since it was released on American Netflix (in the Netherlands on Videoland). That series ends next month with the fourth season finale.
