Ray Drecker may be very popular with the ladies but HBO doesn’t want a fourth season of his TV series. The pay-for-view channel has cancelled Hung after 30 episodes and three seasons on the air.
Hung stars Thomas Jane as a struggling Detroit high school baseball coach and divorced father. He resorts to male prostitution to take advantage of his natural “endowments.” The show’s cast includes Jane Adams, Anne Heche, Eddie Jemison, Rebecca Creskoff, Gregg Henry, Charlie Saxton, and Sianoa Smit-McPhee.
This past season, Hung averaged a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.02 million viewers. That’s way down from last season (1.3 in the demo with 2.46 million), which had declined from the 2009 numbers.
The defacto series finale of Hung aired on December 4th and attracted just a 0.4 rating and 930,000 viewers.
HBO has also cancelled Bored to Death and How to Make It in America but has chosen to renew Enlightened, the newest and lowest-rated of the four.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Hung has been cancelled, that there won’t be a fourth season?
HBO ****** up big time on this show….. Should of given the fans an “ending” ….Maybe a 2 hour finale. Thomas Jane should be a major film star after “Punisher” ….Maybe hollywood can get him a decent “script” for a Punisher 3″ …….I can see why Mr. Jane bailed from the 2nd punisher…… IT SUCKED…… Yo Hollywood……get Thomas a decent action movie ……Hell ….. Even I can cough up a better story than Punisher 2. Nuff Stated …… Just finished watching Dexter…..did not like the ending….Just started watching 6 feet under ……can’t picture Michael C. Hall as GAY…… Hung was… Read more »
Lovve this show HBO needs to rethink this seriously so what the green arrow guy had to go this show wasn’t about him any way they should be searching the internet they might find that most caught the show on-demand or even paid to see episodes they missed
I think they cancel it because the other guy have to go do Green Arrow show.
I really loved Hung! Like other commenters I just watched season 1-3 on HBO go in like a week! So original and entertaining! I cant believe HBO dropped the ball on this one after I just discovered it!
We just switched cable companies, and signed up for service where HBO is included in the package. I am disappointed that Hung was cancelled. It’s a really great comedy-drama show. I was searching desperately to see when the next will air, then started to search internet for episodes that I didn’t see on HBO in the last month or so. Audience views probably decreased because of the economy – many people lost homes, and of course cannot afford paid channel as HBO, or the package that includes this channel. If the cast read this, know that their acting is very… Read more »
My husband & I just got cable ‘on demand’ and started watching Hung. And actually got really hooked.. We finished 3 seasons in 3 days. And yet disappointed to hear that the show was completely canceled!! Such a shame. Now what are we going to watch.. Plus I love me some Thomas Jane

Its always the best shows like this one that get ended like this. Please bring Ray Drecker back!!
I am also very disappointed. I still have hope that with enough fan fair, they will bring this show back. A story about a guy using his ***** as an asset. He is a true G. It is also a story about struggle. Real people in Detroit. Most shows on television are so Fluffy and fake. Shahs of Sunset, ect. Most Arabs are not living like that. Most people in The United States make $30,000 per year. Where do they live? How do they survive? Hats off the Hung and its cast!
They should keep going on this show. Disappointed that they ended. Boo HBO.
Just watched all 3 seasons of Hung and I am extremely disappointed to see that their will not be a season 4?????? This was a great and funny show. Just started to see the show coming together and was really looking forward to see what happens next. Real bummer.
True Blood “jumped the shark” already with pompous vampires and everyone some kind of supernatura “thing” now. Boring and getting unwatchable. Hungvwas still interesting and funny. Storyline was coming along. But look at what happened to Deadwood. No proper end. Network tv mostly trys to do a finale for a multi season show. Screwed pooch on this one.
show sucks. that idiot guy couldn’t turn a woman on if they came with on switches. he is awkward and a bit of a clumsy dullard. not what women ask for in a good lay…all the characters are weird and nutty. show has no uhmmff!!!
Hung is a very different and unbelievable series and everybody wants to continue. HBO PLEASE!! I think ratings are not gonna be the same as before.
I’m from Russia, and want 2 write some sad words about no-season-4 too! Hung is great show! Brilliant actors, huge talent writers and producers. I’ll miss this show. Really hope that’s ll be rise again in season 4! Hung up!
