Your Honor may return for a third season after all. The crime drama series, which ended last year after two seasons on Showtime, has become a hit on Netflix since it arrived on the streaming service at the end of May.

Bryan Cranston, Rosie Perez, Michael Stuhlbarg, Hope Davis, Lilli Kay, Jimi Stanton, Benjamin Flores Jr., Andrene Ward-Hammond, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Keith Machekanyanga star in the Your Honor series, which follows a father, New Orleans judge Michael Desiato (Cranston), who lost his son following the boy’s involvement in a hit and run.

According to The New York Times, the series has had a billion viewing minutes each week since its arrival on Netflix. That makes Your Honor a hit for the streamer, especially considering that only 20 hour episodes were made. so there have been discussions with CBS Studios about potentially making a third season.

The following was reported about the series:

Last year, Paramount executives decided to end the show. But now, given the show’s performance over the past few weeks, it may have some life after all. Executives at CBS Studios, which produced the show, are in active discussions with Netflix about reviving the series for a third season, according to two people familiar with the negotiations. No final decision has been made. Representatives for Netflix and CBS Studios declined to comment.

Cranston did have some hope for a third season after the series wrapped its second season in 2023. He said, “I’m not sure that there could be or there is. There is some discussion. Showtime has indicated there is interest and we’re very proud to know that every episode in Season 2 increased in the audience from the previous week. If it happens, fantastic but it’d have to be some great reason to keep expanding in this world and to find out where the allegiances are. I’d be very interested in producing that. I don’t know about being in it because my guy’s back in prison.”

Robert and Michelle King are behind Your Honor, and another one of their shows, Evil, has also seen an increase in popularity since its arrival on Netflix. That series ends with its fourth season finale next month.
