"Hap & Leonard" Canceled at SundanceTV after Three Seasons

May 14, 2018

After three seasons on SundanceTV, "Hap & Leonard" won’t be getting another kick at the East Texas can, it seems.

The cancellation of the James Purefoy and Michael Kenneth Williams led series based on Joe R. Lansdale’s 1980s set novels of two mainly unlucky Lone Star state buddies’ misadventures came today from the AMC owned net.

“It has been an honor to share the adventures of Hap and Leonard with SundanceTV viewers,” a spokesman for the station told Deadline on Monday.

“We thank the talented cast and crew who brought Joe Lansdale’s stories to life including John Wirth, Jim Mickle, Jeremy Platt and Linda Moran — and the extraordinarily talented Michael K Williams and James Purefoy. We aired three successful seasons of the show and are proud of the topics and relationships it explored.”

Cancel the good shows, yet junk like American Idol and Survivor keeps going.

Least I have the new Hap & Leonard books to look forward to.
