Along with Cranston, Your Honor stars Hope Davis, Isaiah Whitlock Jr., Lilli Kay, Ketih Machekanyanga, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Jimi Stanton, and Bejamin Flores Jr. Guest stars include Rosie Perez, Margo Martindale, and Amy Landecker. Cranston executive produces the series with James Degus for Moonshot Entertainment alongside showrunner Joey Hartstone, as well as Robert King, Michelle King, and Liz Glotzer.
The first season of Your Honor was designed as a limited series, but its ratings were so strong at Showtime that a second season was ordered. Ahead of season 2, Cranston confirmed that there are no plans for a third season, suggesting that the series will end with the season 2 finale.
“I am [currently] preparing for the second and last season of Your Honor, which is a limited series that I did for Showtime,” Cranston said earlier this year during an interview with Dax Shepard for the Armchair Expert podcast. “As they tell me, it got higher ratings than any other series they’ve ever had — and so, one more season of that.”
Your Honor is set to debut its second season on Friday, Sunday, Dec. 11, on Showtime. For Showtime subscribers, it can be viewed early on Dec. 9 on streaming and on demand. Season 2 will consist of ten episodes.
