Hit & Run Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

Hit & Run became an instant hit when it first came out in August 2021. It dominated the top 10 lists of many countries worldwide and was the binge addiction for many. The show focuses on “a happily married man, Segev Azulai, whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a mysterious hit-and-run accident in Tel Aviv. Grief-stricken and confused, he searches for his wife’s killers, who have fled to the U.S. With the help of an ex-lover, Naomi Hicks, he uncovers disturbing truths about his beloved wife and the secrets she kept from him.”

But now with season 1 done and dusted, can we expect another season of the hit Israeli-American show? Let’s explore.

Has Hit & Run Been Renewed For Season 2?

Deadline reported in September 2021 that Hit & Run was canceled by Netflix. This came as quite a shock to many especially because of the show’s suspenseful and cliffhanging ending. Fans of the show will not get any closure to the series.

Why was Hit & Run Canceled?

The COVID-19 pandemic was the main culprit. Due to the pandemic, the show’s production took a very long time to even get started. And because of the continual changing of locations between New York and Israel, the cost of the production ballooned and Netflix may not have seen the show as worth the enormous price tag. The show was already expensive to make before the pandemic. The showrunners had spoken about the show’s production cost during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“They [Netflix] want it to be an international hit and not just a hit in Israel or a hit in the U.S.,” said Nicole Yorkin. “One episode of our show is the equivalent of two full seasons of ‘Fauda’ [another Netflix series from the same creators] in terms of how much it cost.”

Who Is In The Cast Of Hit & Run?

The cast of Hit & Run includes Lior Raz as Segev Azulai, Lior Ashkenazi as Assaf Talmor, Sanaa Lathan as Naomi Hicks, Kaelen Ohm as Danielle Wexler Azulai, Moran Rosenblatt as Tali Shapira, Gregg Henry as Martin Wexler, Gal Toren as Ron Harel.
