No Season 2 for the novel-based drama.
May 31, 2017
It was announced this morning that Quarry has been cancelled at Cinemax after just one season. Word came this morning from co-creator Michael D. Fuller, who made the announcement via a post on his website.
Fuller noted that early work on a second season of the show had already begun before his team found out that it was being shut down. He cited that despite solid ratings and critical reception, a re-branding at Cinemax and a regime change at parent company HBO were the primary factors for the cancellation.
Based on the novels of Max Allan Collins, Quarry followed a Marine who returns home to Memphis from Vietnam in 1972 only to find himself shunned by loved ones and vilified by the public. Struggling to deal with his experiences at war, he is drawn into a network of corruption and killing that spans the length of the Mississippi River.

This seems to be part of a larger trend of networks cancelling critically and ratings successful television shows. Is it production costs?

.. little research turns up.. "Cinemax wants to shed its “Skinemax†reputation with a high-end drama" -- wait..... so they WANT to be known for "high-end drama" and they cancel one of their better high-end dramas? Uhm.. guess that's network exec thinking for you.

Too bad. I found this show compelling. What's Cinemax rebranding to? Straight soft-core porn? This was one of the few great original shows on Cinemax.
