Will there be a ‘Your Honor’ Season 3? Bryan Cranston spills the beans as Season 1 & 2 land on Netflix
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The crime drama series 'Your Honor,' which aired on Showtime for two seasons, stars Bryan Cranston. It follows a New Orleans judge who faces moral dilemmas after his son's involvement in a hit-and-run accident with a mafia kingpin's son.
While the series garnered viewership and praise, Showtime hasn't renewed it for a third season since Season 2 concluded in March 2023.
Adapted from the Israeli series 'Kvodo', 'Your Honor' adds an American touch with its New Orleans backdrop. Fans are eager to know if there will be a Season 3 and if Cranston will return.
Is 'Your Honor' Season 3 in the works?
'Your Honor' won't return for a third season, according to a report by TV Line. Bryan Cranston confirmed this during an interview on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast in 2022, stating that the second season would be the last.
While 'Malcolm in the Middle' and 'Breaking Bad' were developed for multiple seasons, 'Your Honor' was always intended as a limited series with a defined ending.
Originally planned as a miniseries, Showtime renewed 'Your Honor' for a second season due to its high ratings. However, season 2 concluded with a definitive ending. Cranston's character, facing consequences for his actions, completes his arc by accepting his fate and returning to jail.
With the story reaching a natural conclusion, there's no room for further development in a potential third season.
Bryan Cranston expresses his interest in producing 'Your Honor' Season 3
Although 'Your Honor' hasn't been officially renewed for a third season, Bryan Cranston is open to the idea. In an interview with TV Series Finale, he said, "I’d be very interested in producing 'Your Honor' Season 3." However, he's uncertain about reprising his role since his character is back in prison.
If 'Your Honor' returns for a third season and continues to focus on Cranston's character, it could transition into a prison drama, exploring the challenges of a judge behind bars.
Alternatively, similar to the second season, Season 3 could introduce new characters to drive the storyline forward.
