SundanceTV series don’t generally earn big ratings by even cable standards, but they do draw a loyal audience. Originating as a home to feature films, the cable network has only been running scripted series for a few years. While it’s back for a third installment, could this be the end of the road. Will the Hap and Leonard TV show be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A SundanceTV anthology series based on the Jon R. Lansdale series of novels, Hap and Leonard stars James Purefoy as Hap Collins and Michael Kenneth Williams as Leonard Pines — lifelong best friends. Returning as season regulars are Tiffany Mack as Leonard’s lawyer, Floria Grange, along with Cranston Johnson as Detective Hanson. Season three, Hap and Leonard: The Two-Bear Mambo, also stars Louis Gossett Jr., Corbin Bernsen, Andrew Dice Clay, Laura Allen, and Curtis Harding.
The darkly comedic, crime drama unfolds in 1989, in East Texas, just prior to Christmas. Hap and Leonard set off to find Florida, who has gone missing in the Klan-infested town of Grovetown. With an epic storm impending, Hap and Leonard are soon confronted by a cast of characters Sundance says is, “…so tough they could chew the bumper off a pickup truck.” This gang includes a questionable sheriff, as well as the leader of the Caucasian Knights. “The boys learn that the good guys don’t always win, and nobody beats Mother Nature,” according to the network.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

5/15/2018 Status Update: Hap and Leonard has been cancelled by SundanceTV. Details here.
Hap and leonard is a great show I hope it continues the dialogue and storyline are top notch.
Hap and Leonard as was the Crossing was only two great show that we couldn’t wait for each week. But like always when it is a good fun challenging show with out constant sex, drugs, drinking, robbery,murder and the F bomb every other word it is cancelled. Why well my guess is these poor little cry baby children that think they are adults well for their thinking and wanting it solved by themselves they only have brain farts and brain freeze caused from them not being able without stupid fake items like vampires or stupid zombies both are not real… Read more »
Though I didn’t enjoy this season as much as the other two, I still think this is one of the best scripted shows on television. There are so many more Joe Lansdale stories waiting to be told through the eyes of Hap & Leonard.
I absolutely love this show right from the get go! These two are like Abbott & Costello, Andy & Barney and Riggs & Murtough chemistry between characters are hard to come by. I hope that there will be a 4 season. It gets so disappointing when all the good shows end. Also you need to do a better job with your demos, I happened to be 58 and your demo is 18-49? Thank You! Don’t cancel this show.
Love the show hope it doesn’t get canceled
