Sky Atlantic has opted not to bring Hit & Miss back for a second season. The TV show has been running on DirecTV here in the US. According to Sky Atlantic’s official statement, they only planned for the UK TV series to run for just one season anyway.
It reads, “Hit & Miss was commissioned as a self-contained drama. The series was the first UK drama commissioned for Sky Atlantic and the response from our customers and the press has been overwhelmingly positive. Following the success of this series, Sky Atlantic continues to be committed to investment in original British scripted productions with upcoming drama Falcon, and other productions which will be announced soon.”
Hit & Miss follows Mia (Chloë Sevingy), a contract killer with a secret: she’s a pre-op transsexual. Mia’s life is sent into a tailspin when she receives a letter from an ex-girlfriend who’s dying from cancer. The letter reveals that Mia fathered a son eleven years ago. Faced with a difficult decision, Mia becomes the guardian to a new family, a choice that forces her to mix her killer instincts with her newly acquired maternal ones. Hit & Miss is the story of a lethal killer at the heart of a troubled family and how all of their lives are dramatically changed.
Others featured in the show include Peter Wight, Jonas Armstrong, Vincent Regan, Ben Crompton, Karla Crome, Reece Noi, Jorden Bennie and Roma Christensen.
The six episodes began running on DirecTV on July 11th and finished on August 15th.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear there won’t be a second season of Hit & Miss? What would you liked to have seen happen?
We started watching this not knowing there would not be a season 2. So disappointed. We need a finally to this.. you can’t leave us just hang in on to what happened. Poor innocent uncle is finally happy.. Ryan was probably ready to except the fact that she will be a great mom. Ryan is a fighter after learning ho w to defend himself. The oldest kid is going to get himself in trouble.
I would love a second season of this fabulous show! There’s so many aspects that are very interesting and compelling! I love the lead actress in all the characters. “Dying” to know what happens next…
Loved it! Sad there’s not a second series
Hit and Miss was an excellen series. Please bring back Hit and Miss for another season. Please don’t leave us fans hanging
Very disappointed that there are no plans for a series 2 of hit and miss. Lots of loose ends.
Feel the same way
As a transgender woman myself- I found this show very touching and relatable-Mia’s violent relationship with her brother and her difficulty finding love brought back many memories…even though I pass very well and hide in plain sight and I am post op; It is still very difficult to find normality in a world that will not recognize you as normal. The show is a reminder of how trans people handle life- either defensively or in hiding drowning sorrows whatever way we could. I wish the show would continue and touch in more of that so people would see how difficult… Read more »
Just started watching and sad to know that there is only one season. Difficult subject matter perhaps for many however it is caring, sensitive to the emotional difficulty of persons transitioning and adding in family. Bravo to the writers and station.
