Sad news, AMC has announced that Lucky Hank will not be getting a second season.
DEADLINE – This won’t help his state of mind… Lucky Hank has been canceled after one season.
AMC has axed the Bob Odenkirk-led drama series, which premiered in March.
The series, which is an adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, saw Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star Odenkirk play William Henry Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt, who is somewhere between midlife crisis and full-blown meltdown.
“We’re proud of Lucky Hank and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille and the entire cast and crew. Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season, but we are glad these eight episodes exist on AMC+ and will continue to find new fans – or be seen again by viewers who come back to spend more time with Hank, Lily and the entertaining cast of characters at Railton College,” said an AMC Networks spokesman.
