The eight-part series premiered in March and comes from Sony Pictures' Television TriStar TV and Mark Johnson's Gran Via. Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein adapted the book and served as co-showrunners. The duo co-produced with Odenkirk, director Peter Farrelly, Richard Russo, Naomi Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero.
It's been a tough twelve months, programming-wise, for AMC Networks, which at the start of the year canceled a host of new shows, including Demascus, Invitation to a Bonfire and second seasons of Pantheon, Moonhaven and 61st Street, while the Julianne Moore series Mary & George moved to Starz.
Scheduled for 2024 are The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Parish, starring Giancarlo Esposito, Orphan Black: Echoes, starring Krysten Ritter, and a second season of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire and the film Monsieur Spade by Clive Owen.
“We’re proud of Lucky Hank and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille and the entire cast and crew. Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season, but we are glad these eight episodes exist on AMC+ and will continue to find new fans – or be seen again by viewers who come back to spend more time with Hank, Lily and the entertaining cast of characters at Railton College,” said an AMC Networks spokesman.
