Here and Now is over. Deadline reports HBO has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
From Alan Ball, the drama centers on a progressive white couple, Greg (Tim Robbins) and Audrey (Holly Hunter), and their multi-ethnic brood as well as a contemporary Muslim psychiatrist (Peter Macdissi). The cast also includes Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Sosie Bacon, Andy Bean, Joe Williamson, Avynn Crowder-Jones, Stephanie Arcila, and Erin Carufel.
Here and Now‘s cancellation is hardly a surprise. The HBO series suffered from low ratings during its 10-episode first season. Overall, it earned an average rating of .11 in the 18-49 demo and only 378,000 viewers.
What do you think? Have you seen Here and Now? Do you think it deserved a second chance?
I really enjoyed this show. It was thought-provoking, had sly humor and kept me guessing. I’m so sorry that it has been cancelled. I looked forward to seeing each episode.
Very disappointing. This show had a lot of promise, but was not very well advertised and did not find an audience.
Very disappointing you’re canceling the show with the finale like that and so many on answered questions . You should we consider a season two or more !
This show was everything to me!!! Great acting and a very real and encompassing view of what is actually happening in the world, not to mention the diversity and complexity of the characters. It really needs a second season.
Oh, and by the way, everyone who still thinks the series didn’t have a storyline should really stop one second and second-guess whatever they think the word plot means. Life is not straightforward, at all, no matter what regular series or movies end up showing on TV nowadays.
You don’t make such a finale without a second season, people!! C’mon!
Very disappointing news of cancellation. I want to know what happens to Ramon! Seriously, interesting themes & intriguing characters. Please reconsider.
I looked forward to this show each week, so I am very sorry to see it go. Characters and story lines really made you think compared to most regular shows. Hope HBO will bring it back!
Acting was decent, story was interesting, but it just seemed to wander form one episode to the next with no real destination. Easy to lose interest after about 5 episodes…
I loved this series and am so disappointed that it will not be returning. Loved the cast and story lines.
So disappointed, I hope they reconsider!
Definitely deserved a 2nd season! At least to create closure, like a mini series. As always, an Alan Ball production was edgy, interesting and forward thinking! I felt there was a lot there to explore further! I lived Ramon’s gamer life! Even that alone had potential! Duke, Naveed, etc etc.
So sad ! This was a great show along with Seven seconds and The Shannara chronicles, Beyond, Mozart in the jungle and OUAT, once again many good shows are canceled and silly stuff like medical and cops TV-shows, so boring to watch are renewed for a 20th season ! Where is the diversity and the justice in all this ? Netflix or another channel should save Here and Now and The Shannara Chronicles !!!
Was a very interesting show, sorry to see it go!!!!!
