Showtime Renews Bryan Cranston’s Your Honor For Season 2

Showtime announced on Tuesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour that the crime drama Your Honor has been renewed for a second season.

It was also confirmed that Bryan Cranston, who stars as New Orleans judge Michael Desiato, will return for Season 2.

Showtime’s Gary Levine said in a statement,

We were blown away by Your Honor — by the power of [Peter Moffat’s] storytelling, by the depth of Bryan’s performance, and by the overwhelming reaction from our subscribers who watched in record numbers.

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!’

Your Honor was initially a limited series, but with the show’s success shooting through the roof, the network had to renew it. It is currently the network’s most-watched series (6.6 million weekly viewers).

The series follows Desiato, a respected New Orleans judge whose teenage son is involved in a hit-and-run that leads to a high-stakes game of lies, deceit, and impossible choices.

Alongside Carston, Your Honor Season 1 starred Michael Stuhlbarg, Hope Davis, Hunter Doohan, Carmen Ejogo, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Sofia Black-D’Elia. It’s unclear which cast members will return for Season 2.

Peter Moffat serves as showrunner, executive-producing alongside Robert and Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, Cranston, and James Degus.

Your Honor Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes and is expected to premiere sometime in 2022.

The judge’s attempts to dispose of the evidence have tragic consequences.
