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?
Love the show . The producers need to nudge the writers to come up with something equal to the genius of Hugh Laurie.
Really good show. Not everyone has Hulu and the TV pie has more slices.
My wife and I love this show.
Please consider amother season.
I would definitely watch a season 2. A producer could get very creative at this point. Dr. Chance can begin working with D; Jacqueline could return with some psychotic plot or the daughter could begin exhibiting addition psychotic behavior. In any case, yes! I want a second season!
Chance is a beautifully conceived and written series that definitely should be renewed. Hugh Laurie’s point that because season one follows the novel, a second season would be difficult to frame as there is no story to follow is well taken. What would it look like? Where would it go? I believe, however, the answer lies in the brilliant, capable minds of the writers behind season one. The two central characters, still conflicted by inner turmoil and in love against great odds, provides more than a effective starting point for the seasons’s arc and several episodes of suspense.

Really liked and am hooked on the main characters. I will certainly watch it. Please, with all the stuff they are producing a show like this is surely welcomed by myself and others.
I NEED a season 2! My daughter and I are hooked. It’s so different from all of the other shows.
This is a great show. I just binge watched all 10 episodes. Please make a season 2
Oh please give us season 2 AND 3 and 4! I can’t stop watching. I absolutely love Hugh Laurie in anything he does. Also really enjoy D. (Darius). This story line has me glued to my TV. I’d watch this show over any of the current “hit” shows on network TV any day. Please give us at least one more Chance!!
I am in the process of watching “Chance”. I love it!! I only have 1 episode to watch yet and will watch it tonight, I do not want it to end.. I want it to continue!! Please have a second season!!
