Hulu has canceled Chance, its drama series starring Hugh Laurie, after two seasons.
Hailing from Fox 21 Television Studios, Chance was given a two-season pick-up by Hulu in 2016. Season one premiered in October, 2016, with the second season premiering in October, 2017. Based on Kem Nunn’s novel of the same name, Chance starred House alum Laurie as Eldon Chance, a San Francisco-based forensic neuropsychiatrist.
After an ill-advised decision regarding an alluring patient who may be struggling with a multiple personality disorder, he finds himself in the crosshairs of her abusive spouse who also happens to be a ruthless police detective. In over his head, Chance’s descent into the city’s shadowy underbelly, all while navigating the waters of a contentious divorce and the tribulations of his teenage daughter, soon spirals into an ever deepening exploration of one of mankind’s final frontiers — the shadowy, undiscovered country of the human mind.
Lenny Abrahamson served as executive producer alongside Alexandra Cunningham (Desperate Housewives), Michael London (Milk, Trumbo), Brian Grazer (Empire), Laurie, and Nunn.
