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 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.

I’ve been waiting and watching for signs of season 2. I’m sorry to learn that seson 2 may not happen. I hope it does. I loved season 1.
I sincerely hope we get season 2. I want to see what happens with Chance.
Best Show On TV!! I have waited son long for season 2

the first season!
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!
