HBO Cancels "Hung"
12/20/2011
by Lacey Rose, Lesley Goldberg

"Hung", which stars Thomas Jane as a down-on-his-luck suburban high school basketball coach who resorts to male prostitution, returned for its third and now final 10-episode season earlier this fall.

Though the half-hour series from Dmitry Lipkin and Colette Burson fell far short of garnering the kind of accolades or viewership that other efforts including "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game of Thrones" did for the premium cable network, it didn't go entirely unrecognized on the award show circuit.

Jane and co-star Jane Adams were both nominated for Golden Globe nominations for their roles in 2010.

Ultimately, the praise nor the ratings were enough to warrant another season.

Its third season finale collected 930,000 viewers, down considerably from the 2.31 million who tuned in for its Season 2 closer.
