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?
This was the best new series this year on HBO. It was intense and mentally challenging and I am sorry HBO didn’t do a 1st class job today n promoting it.
This was my favorite show and I was so excited to see season 2 unfold. I looked so forward to watching it and then having great discussions with friends about it. I am so disappointed. It was the only reason I was keeping HBO. I guess I can cancel my subscription now.
I absolutely loved this show. I can’t understand why it didn’t receive better ratings & I’m really sad there won’t be another season. Very, very disappointing!
Well, I really liked it. How can we see the second season? I need to find out what is happening! WOW, makes me not want to watch any new shows, just watch them after a couple of years so I know for sure they won’t be cancelled.
We love this show. I hope they will reconsider a second season. We found the show today 4/29/18. I watched the whole season. Loved it!! Loved it !! I love the diversity of the show. The free range of conversations that needs to be said. The openest and rawness of the characters honest opinions. Can’t say enough about the show. It was, it is refreshing……..
It’s a great show. Just needed some word of mouth. 5 people I know in the last week habe gotten hooked!!
What a disappointment the show was cancelled. I didn’t know where the show was going but I was hooked.
What a shame the show was cancelled.
My husband and I absolutely loved this show. I thought it was amazing and could hardly wait for next episode to come on. We are so disappointed that there will no be a season 2. Please reconsider a season 2. I have referred the show to friends and family and they all love it as well. Please bring it back!!!!
I think there is a definite progressive way to carry the show for many more seasons.
I enjoyed season one, even though it was a little slow. All shows start slow, you have to learn the characters I hope HBO will reconsider. There’s many more miles that could be covered. It’s sad to think Mt Baker erupted… The end.
My husband and I were really liking this show and are very disappointed to find it won’t be coming back.

HBO execs are idiots. One frickin’ season! Are you kidding me? This show had potential. People just hadn’t found the show yet. HBO blew this one. Alan Ball made them tons of money in the past and deserves respect! Letter writing campaign starts NOW! Bring back “Here and Now”!
Another terrible decision by atheist (and I’m an agnostic) HBO. Anything that tries to look deeper than sexual identity and that does not contain dragons or robots, does not seem to thrive in the HBP ecosystem. This show was a slow burner, but was trying to go places that few shows on television have ever dared– and like great unfinished art, no one, probably even the creators, really knew where this was headed. The journey would have been worth the money HBO, and a show like this might have taken 2-3 seasons to find its audience– but they would have… Read more »
Only one more episode to go and I am so disappointed that it hasn’t been renewed. It is such a great show. Love the characters, the story line, and the acting. Please bring it back!!
