TV show description:
A psychological thriller based on the Kem Nunn novel, the Chance TV show centers on Eldon Chance (Laurie). A forensic neuropsychiatrist living in San Francisco, Dr. Eldon Chance finds himself drawn into a perilous case involving his patient, Jaclyn Blackstone (Mol).
With a failed marriage, a load of IRS debt, and his challenging teenaged daughter, Nicole (Owen), Chance already has his hands full. On top of that, he is the kind of man who feels haunted by those patients he just can’t save.
Nicole is a good kid, but she is at that age where she craves her freedom, yet still needs her father. Her parents’ divorce has only intensified her conflicted feelings. Right now, she’s vulnerable and confused.
Because his work requires him to delve into the minds of others, it is no wonder Chance becomes involved with the troubled Jaclyn. Is she opening up to him or manipulating him into taking on her abusive spouse, homicide detective Raymond Blackstone (Adelstein)?
Chance turns to D, i.e. Darius Pringle (Suplee), to help with his crusade. As if from another time and place, D has fashioned himself into a warrior and weapons expert. Bookish, inquisitive, and sharp, D seldom puts much faith in others. This laconic and suspicious man uses his antiques restoration work as a cover for his true calling.
Chance finds himself driven to fight for Jaclyn and his other troubled patients with a fervor even he finds surprising. Can he keep his penchant for vigilante justice in check or, perchance, will it take over his life? Stay tuned.
Series Finale:
Episode #20 — Especially If You Run Away
With Lorena’s help, Chance and D return to San Francisco to handle unfinished business. Frank Lambert has a new protégé. Chance embraces a familiar role in a new way.
First aired: November 29, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Chance TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on Hulu?
I really like the show Hugh Laurie was really great, the promise was unique in that genre. I’m sad to see it go, But like with anything, It only has so much life. In the same vein, I’ll be very sad when the series Bosch i’s not renewed. Both are/were great interesting dramas with well crafted characters.
Chance was a high quality series with an excellent cast lead by Hugh Laurie. I was devastated to find series 3 was cancelled. Also disappointing, it appears not to be available on dvd. Whoever made the decision to cancel series 3 has made a huge misjudgment.

Fascinating and intelligent with great acting. No wonder it was cancelled.
Fantastic show. Couldn’t get enough. Watched all shoes over two days. Please bring back.
LOVED this show!!! Why cancelled???!!!! Makes me PO’d because as soon as you get hooked on a show they cancel it!!! Infuriating!! Will only watch past multi- season shows now. I know how many seasons right up front!!! No NEW shows anymore!!!
Great show!! Renew
I really enjoyed the series “Chance” (my wife also). It was one of the best TV series we have seen in sometime. I hope there is thoughts of continuing this program.
Sorry to learn there will be no additional seasons of Chance. Its a great show … the writing, acting, photography is all wonderful. We have enjoyed it so much. Please reconsider!!
Just getting good! Please renew.
This show was fantastic and original, I hope it gets in-cancelled like Timeless did!
Kartrashians is on forever, but talented shows like this get cancelled? I don’t get it
New to HULU, I found Chance and I think it is one of the best shows on TV. It is sad it will not continue. With all the remakes coming out it was refreshing to see something creative and thrilling and different. Hugh Laurie and Ethan Suplee are amazing. 🙁
One of the best shows I’ve seen. Please renewor maybe it will be picked up by another venue
