What’s This TV Show About?
A sci-fi comedy series airing on the HBO television network, the Avenue 5 TV show stars Hugh Laurie, Josh Gad, Zach Woods, Rebecca Front, Suzy Nakamura, Lenora Crichlow, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Ethan Phillips. Guest stars in season two include Andy Buckley, Jessica St. Clair, Kyle Bornheimer, Adam Pålsson, Daisy May Cooper, Lucy Punch, Leila Farzad, Jonathan Aris, and Arsher Ali. While manning a luxury spacecraft owned by Herman Judd ( Gad), Captain Ryan Clark (Laurie) finds himself in over his head when the ship is thrown disastrously off-course. This turns what was meant to be an eight-week cruise into an eight-year journey. Picking up five months after failing to reroute the vessel, season two follows the crew — including fiery engineer Billie (Crichlow), unpredictable head of customer relations Matt (Woods), and faithful right-hand Iris (Nakamura) — as they struggle to lead, calm, control, and, if need be, hide from increasingly unruly passengers. On Earth, they’re lauded as heroes, and in space, everyone can hear them scream.
Avenue 5 has been cancelled, so there will not be a third season. Could the series be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will HBO cancel or renew Avenue 5 for season three? This show premiered in January 2020 and was renewed for a second season a month later. Thanks in part to the pandemic, it’s now been two and a half years between the end of season one and the launch of season two. Word is that the cast’s contracts expired in May of this year, so contracts would have to be renegotiated if there were to be in a third season. The traditional ratings for the first season were quite low, and the second season’s numbers are also very low (so low we don’t have access to them). The show’s creator believes there’s a chance for a third-season renewal, but I seriously doubt it. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What is with them and cancelling their BEST shows all the while greenlighting GARBAGE! This show was so funny! What a shame their priorities are so twisted!
Good show turned sour, went off the deep end towards uncanny valley by second seasons end. If there is a season three I can’t imagine there would be much to recap.
Loving this show! hoping for season 3!!!
Amazing show. Seriously funny, with wonderfully subtle, cutting one-liners — and social commentary to boot. I only discovered it in the past month, and I’ve spent the past few weeks turning more and more people on to it, several of whom have binge watched and thanked me. Bring on season 3!
Please bring on season 3 I haven’t laughed so much in ages
I love this show. I have binged the entire thing so far, A LOT.
Cancelling it will be very disappointing:
PLEASE dont cancel Avenue 5!!! I absolutely love this show. It took a few episodes to really get going but I think its hilarious now. I would be so disappointed if it doesn’t come back for a third season, especially the way season 2 ended.
