HBO and Alan Ball have enjoyed a lucrative partnership over the years with successful TV series like Six Feet Under and True Blood. Now they’ve introduced his new Here and Now TV show. With Ball’s fan cred and headliners like Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter, will this look at modern life appeal to today’s audience and rack up some good ratings? Will Here and Now be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
An HBO comedy-drama, Here and Now also stars Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Sosie Bacon, Andy Bean, Joe Williamson, Peter Macdissi, Avynn Crowder-Jones, Stephanie Arcila, and Erin Carufel. The series centers on a progressive white couple, Greg (Robbins) and Audrey (Hunter), and their multi-ethnic brood, as well as a contemporary Muslim psychiatrist (Macdissi). While they don’t always make the best choices in this world gone mad, they’re all struggling to live authentically in the here and now, because that’s all there is.

What do you think? Do you like the Here and Now TV series? Should HBO cancel or renew it for a second season?
4/25/18 update: HBO has cancelled Here and Now so there won’t be a second season. Details here.
It seems like the least we can do is give HBO our feedback. On the HBO website, it says this is the email address for programming feedback. general@hbo.com If anyone has any other ideas, it would be great to see them.
I agree with the blame being marketing, I too, never heard of it or saw it advertised, a friend told us about it and we committed to watching it and loved this show. It was great seeing Tim Robbins in a different roll than he usually does and he and Holly Hunter had chemistry. I really wanted to see where this show was going to take us in season 2. Mistake canceling this and hope that another network or Netflix will pick this up!
Why they make this show is bigger mystery then same show?
We loved Here and Now and feel a marketing problem caused the decision to cancel. No one else we know had even heard of it … even by the time we watched the season finale. Another short-sighted decision HOB.
Please don’t cancel – have really loved this drama – it is so different from anything else on the tv at the moment and I really am invested in the characters
Looking forward to a season 2!
Cant wait for season 2!
LOVE IT!
Please write another series of Here and Now
Loved season 1! Please bring this back for a second season…
I love the show, can’t wait for season 2.
Some of my favorite shows…Orange is the New black and Stranger Things. This show really got my attention, quick! I couldn’t believe how well the story was put together, especially just in the first series. I cannot wait to see what is to come. I am sure it will only get better from here. 🙂
I love the show so far
I loved this show, I can’t understand why the critics panned it so much. I really hope they make a season 2. I thought it was a refreshing portrayal of modern family life dealing with current issues with an alluring plot. It would be a real shame if they didn’t make another season, I finally found a series that didn’t feel fake.
Love it! Renew!
