Is Chance getting a second chance? Recently, Hugh Laurie spoke with TVLine about his new Hulu series.
From Kem Nunn and Alexandra Cunningham, the drama stars Hugh Laurie as a forensic neuropsychiatrist. The cast also includes Diane Farr, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Gretchen Mol, Paul Adelstein, and Ethan Suplee.
In the interview, Laurie says Chance is very different from House:
I agree. House was almost like chamber music. It was very heightened and very beautifully constructed. Chance is much more intimate, more vulnerable. The characters are actually revealing parts of themselves in a much less self-conscious way. I think House was aware of itself as a show — deliberately so. [Series creator] David Shore, who’s a genius, deliberately constructed it that way.”
But what about a second season? Hulu’s already ordered a season two, but Laurie’s not sure if there will be one:
I think we still have to earn it. I’m pretty sure that on page 784 of the contract there’s a small [cancellation provision].
I’m in a similar position with The Night Manager. In both cases, [Season 1 follows a novel] and then people go, “All right, now what do we do [in Season 2]?” I don’t know what the hell [a second season of Chance looks like]. And I can pretty confidently say [the producers] don’t either. Maybe they have a plan, and it’s all on a big board somewhere. We’ll just have to wait and see. Maybe we’ll have to put some time travel in it.”
Chance debuts today, October 19th, on Hulu.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Hugh Laurie? Will you watch Chance?
I really liked this series I hope there will be a Season 2
Love Chance. Looking foreword to season two!
Hugh Laurie can make any character enjoyable to watch
What do I think?? Are you kidding? There are a million possibilities among all the weird and eccentric patients he would have. What a great show.
Just got Hulu and Chance is addictive, I do not even know the next step it would take. Ethan Suplee is amazing. Hugh Laurie walked so far away from Gregory House, that in it’s self is a credit to his skill. Yes that was who I tuned in to see, I expected it and I love that he did not do it.
I sure hope they have more seasons. It’s unlike any show I have ever seen. Keeps you on the edge of your seat just waiting for the next show!
We are really enjoying Chance. My husband stayed up almost all night finishing Season 1. Really hope they do make a season 2!
Great show so was night manager please no more insipid trash like on commercial tv
Chance needs a 2nd season. The show was compelling and had me glued to the screen. I can see where creating new characters to draw in Dr. Chance down another dark and dangerous path could be difficult. Keeping in mind Dr. Chance’s own dark past could be more explored and intertwined with a patient with a similar problem. Just an idea, Chance needs a 2nd chance (I’m sure I’m not the only one who said that)
Huge fan of the show Chance. Hugh Laurie, Gretchen Mol and Ethan Suplee provide a really gripping must watch series. Please have a season 2!!
Love the series. Love Hugh Lauri, Gretchen Mol. The whole cast of mysterious characters. Can’t wait for the new season.
I absolutely love Chance… I hope it comes back… I will be sad if it doesn’t !!!
Looking forward to season two! Loved the show.
Yes….please second season!!
This show was absolutely, utterly, insanely phenomenal!!! I was unsure whether to invest the time in a “limited series” as so have found them to be limited in depth, premise, purpose, etc. The breif description Hulu presented did entail the idea of the show, the genre description would clue the potential audience in on whether they were on board. What I truly loved and was most pleasnatly surprised over was how deep the story was able to weave in the matter of only ten episodes! The cast is perfect and right on the money. I love seeing actors and actresses… Read more »
