Your honor star Bryan Cranston kept the door open for a Season 3 renewal, albeit with one big stipulation.
In the summer of 2022, Cranston hinted Your honor Season 2 will be its final season, which came after a surprise renewal after it was originally planned as a limited run for Showtime.
The series dominated Netflix’s viewership charts after it was added to the streamer on May 31st, and was ranked among the top 10 most-watched shows for a further 10-16. June (Netflix specific).

What we know about the possible renewal of Honor season 3
We’re talking to Deadline in April 2023, Your honor star Bryan Cranston shared one condition he would demand to return for Season 3 if it were to be greenlit.
Before this interview, he admitted that the decision for season 3 was “above (his) grade” but that he would be “glad to see it continue.”
He then noted how Showtime at the time had interest in renewing the show for another season. However, his main condition for the transfer would be that he would produce the show and not appear in front of the camera afterwards “(his character is) back in prison:”
“My comment was that I’m not sure if it could be or not. It’s a conversation. Showtime has shown interest and we’re very proud that every episode of Season 2 was up from the previous week. If that happens, it should be a good reason to expand in this world and to find out where the loyalty is, I don’t know about that because my friend is in jail again.”
Cranston was referring to his character Michael Desiato, who returned to prison at the end of the second season after revealing his involvement in his son’s car accident that killed another teenager.
Also, on June 9, Cranston commented on Instagram about the series’ new success on Netflix after its debut on the streamer.
He thanked fans around the world for helping it make Netflix’s top 10 list “just a week” how many twists and turns it has for fans who haven’t watched it yet:
“Thank you for watching ‘Your Honor’ on Netflix. You’ve helped push the show into the top 10 in just a week. Wow. And for those who haven’t caught up with this show yet – give it a try… I promise you’ll twist and turn right with the plot… Bryan”
Three weeks later, Cranston took to Instagram again to thank fans for keeping the show on Netflix’s Top 10 list throughout June, sharing his gratitude for the support:
“Hey everyone, I just heard that ‘YOUR HONOR’ has been in the Top 10 on Netflix all month! Wow. I’m blown away. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend. BC”
Is Your Honor Season 3 Happening?
Meanwhile Your honor arguably boasting ratings from the first two seasons that warrant a third greenlight, there are reasons why the decision could go either way.
Netflix’s viewership alone is reason for a streamer to consider picking it up again. After all, it became one of the 10 most-watched shows more than a year after its first run ended on Showtime a few weeks after arriving on the platform.
However, given Cranston’s status in avoiding acting in Season 3, Netflix may be hesitant to continue the story without him on screen, even if he’s still a producer.
The Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the middle star is still a huge name in Hollywood, and his presence on screen was certainly part of why it ranked so high in the ratings.
Of course, many fans will likely be excited to see the series continue with or without Cranston’s Michael Desiato if he’s still involved behind the scenes. How Netflix or other streamers view these prospects is a different matter Your honorthe future in the dark.
Both seasons Your honor stream on Netflix.
