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?

I love this show. Please bring it back! I don’t understand why it would be cancelled. The acting is excellent. It should get picked up by HBO, Showtime, or Starz, but it should not be cancelled!!!!
It really ticks me off that producers or critics or whomever decides these things make the decisions without asking the public what it thinks. Big mistake cancelling this one!!
Yes, I am very sorry they cancelled the show. There were two questions left unanswered like did the son shoot the gangster? If the show was suppose to last for one season, you would have thought the series finale would have been written so the viewers could have some closure.
Noooooo… Pleaaaaaaase? you can’t cancel a season 2? This serie is brilliant – the rythm so peculiar and everything is so weird – Chloe S. such a beautiful androgyn that you can’t do that?
It is such an original serie that it is a shame to not make a season 2. I can’t believe that you let it down now.
Wtf?! This show screams for more seasons!
This was a GREAT show! I have been checking to see when season 2 would start, and I’m disappointed to see it is not. Please reconsider your decision and give us more if Hit & Miss!!!!
Excellent, clever and outstanding – PLEASE bring back Hit & Miss
Season Two!
