Lior Raz’s Netflix drama Hit and Run cancelled after first series
Despite ending on a cliffhanger, the Israeli actor and Avi Issacharoff’s espionage thriller has not been renewed due to production costs
Despite ending on a huge cliffhanger, Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff’s espionage thriller Hit & Run has not been renewed by Netflix for a second series, Deadline revealed this week.
Raz also starred in the action drama – about a man left searching for answers after his wife is mysteriously killed – alongside a starry cast of Sanaa Lathan, Kaelen Ohm, Moran Rosenblatt, Gregg Henry and Lior Ashkenazi.
Despite both critical and public acclaim, the nine-episode series will not return after being deemed too expensive to produce, having been filmed in both New York and Israel.
Hit & Run was created and written by Raz and Issacharoff, the co-creators and executive producers of counter-terrorism thriller Fauda, alongside Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin, creators of the Amazon comedy Z: The Beginning of Everything.
The show, which is currently streaming on Netflix, revolves around Israeli tour guide Segev Azulai (Raz), who lives a contented life in Tel Aviv with his young daughter and new American wife, Danielle (Ohm).
But when she is killed in a mysterious hit and run on the day she is set to return to New York for a visit, he suspects it may not have been an accident.
With the help of an ex-lover (Lathan), he uncovers disturbing truths about his beloved wife and the secrets she kept from him.
