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.

I was looking forward to watching a second season of Chance on Hulu.
Please this show has kept me on the edge of my set each episode and I could not wait for the next one. Laurie is a great actor as long with the rest of the cast.
Yes have followed Mr. Laurie even before House true fan 2nd season please this show is great.
It is an incredible show but I think it ended perfectly and really not sure what another season would look like. He identified with his illness as it approached again and as revealed through his daughter. Now in steps to accept his demons. Where does “D” fit in or Carl in season 2 or do they vanish and an entirely new adventure begins with a different patient? Maybe that’s the jest of the story line like the show “Damages”? Each Season is an entire roll-out of a new encounter with another patient with different psychosis and each time new supporting… Read more »
