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 loved Chance and was riveted to it (binge watched). Very sorry to see it end.
Love the show, Hugh Laurie is Great, But Ethan Sulppe is Absolutely Fantastic.
I like the series Chance please continue its a lot better than alot of those silly reality shows. Im a fan of Hugh Laurie and the rest of the cast i was bummed when i heard you might cancell.
I happened upon this series by accident and I want more!! I watched the entire series in three days and I absolutely loved it. Hugh Laurie is amazing! Please bring it back! I’d like to see all the characters cleared and somehow engage in some hero sort of stuff, taking out some more bad cops.
Love the series.
Very well written and keeps yohvdusoense. I truly hope you reconcider cancelling this show.
Laurie is far more complex as a performer than people consume, his ability to make a character eat up the entire screen lives in some relationship with his ability to withhold so much of the person that you find yourself yearning for a layer that he not going to give you. Critics simply get trapped in expectation. You can ignore the critics because “Chance” like “House ” prior seems to make the critics want to demand something better and that’s why they don’t matter. Better than what? Watch the television machine and let the shows do their job because they… Read more »
