No Season 2 for the Giancarlo Esposito drama.
October 17, 2024
Word is out that AMC has cancelled Parish after just one season. The news comes five months after the drama wrapped its 6-episode freshman run, which ultimately garnered a mixed reception from critics.
"We're so proud of Parish, and thankful for the creative talent involved and the performances they were able to bring to the screen, starting with the remarkable Giancarlo Esposito, Skeet Ulrich and the entire cast," the network said in a statement. "We are unfortunately unable to proceed with a second season, but Season 1 will remain available on AMC+ to fans who want to relive this thrill-ride-of-a-series and those yet to discover it."
Based on the hit U.K. series "The Driver," the show follows family man Gracian "Gray" Parish, who is the proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans. After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman brings Gray back to old habits, sending him on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate.

Should have never been green lit. It was terrible.

For Esposito, I didn’t think this was a good fit for him. Never been to NO, but thought there should have been an attempt to do an accent.
I was expecting to be pulled into the story but never cared about any of the characters really. When the last episode aired I knew this wouldn’t be picked up. Now confirmed.
He has been a standout actor for me since “Do the right thing”. Breaking Bad he was my favorite character. So I will also look forward to what he does next.

It was a good effort by Esposito but I had a hard time getting into it. The idea of an anti-hero at the center of a show has pretty much been played out at AMC by now. Fortunately Esposito won't be lacking for work. I will always been interested in anything he does.

I sort of agree with most on here. Giancarlo Esposito is a terrific actor, and the show was all right. It was not great, but I would say it was OK to good. I enjoyed it, but there were at least a dozen better shows that came out right around that time. I wish I knew what that show was lacking, however. The premise was good, but there was something missing / not done well...something. It was worth a watch, but I think it helped that I went into it not expecting much.

I FFWD this entire season after episode 1 was boring. The ending was predictable and had a feeling this wouldn't get picked up again.
