Showtime is returning to the courtroom. According to 1The Hollywood Reporter, the cable channel has renewed the limited-episode series “Your Honor” for a second season.

The announcement came after executive producers Peter Moffat and Robert and Michelle King’s series, billed as a mini-series, applied in the appropriate category for an Emmy Award, which was denied. Production for the next ten episodes with Bryan Cranston, who will return as Judge Michael Desiato, will begin next year. The second season is scheduled for release in late 2022.

“We were struck by ‘Your Honor’ … the strength of Peter’s storytelling, the depth of Brian’s acting and the overwhelming response from our subscribers that ensured high ratings,” said Showtime Entertainment Segment President Gary Levin in an official statement. – Imagine our joy when we learned that Peter felt he had more to say, and Brian felt he needed to delve even deeper into the character. So along with the millions of fans of the show, I happily shout “Encore!”

Despite a fairly low rating on Rotten Tomatoes (50 percent with critics and 65 percent with viewers), Showtime claims that “Your Honor” was the highest-rated mini-series in the channel’s history. The series claimed the KinoNews 2021 Award for Best New Mini-Series and Best Actor in a Mini-Series (Cranston).
