TV Wise: Sky Atlantic opts NOT to renew ‘Hit & Miss’

Bad news. Despite our hopes and the big fan demand, it looks like we won’t be seeing a continuation to Sky Atlantic’s riveting summer miniseries Hit & Miss. The news just in from TV Wise:

Breaking……Exclusive: It looks like Chloë Sevigny will not be returning as transvestite assassin Mia. My sources are telling me that executives at Sky Atlantic have opted not to renew their original drama series Hit & Miss for a second season. Representatives of Sky Atlantic did not immediately respond to our request for comment.

This would be consistent with the tweet Sky Atlantic recently sent us regarding the future of the series.

@chloesevignyorg @Kara_Almindez Hit & Miss was always intended as a mini-series, and as such, there are no plans for it to return.

As to why the network is not continuing the series one can only guess. Although the show was indeed originally advertised only as a “miniseries”, all of the actors except Chloë were signed for two series at the same time as the finale left everything wide open, definitely hinting at a continuation. The critical reception was fantastic, and so far as we know, the ratings in the UK were good, too — the premiere ratings doubled(!) the network’s usual slot audience and fans have been bombarding them with requests for a series 2 since. Perhaps they just couldn’t work out the schedules; after all, Chloë & co. did spend nearly six months in Manchester last year on just the original six episodes.

Either way, we are of course very, very disappointed as fans of both Chloë and the series, and frankly quite amazed. We really had hoped we’d see the story come to a proper conclusion with another series (which really seemed almost a given with the cliffhanger ending), and on the side of course to get to enjoy more of Chloë’s fantastic(!!) performance as Mia. What a shame that it should end this way. :(

‘Hit & Miss’ U.S. reviews — Chloë “superb” as Mia

With Hit & Miss premiering on DirecTV tonight(!), the first U.S. reviews of the show have started to surface online — and, much like in the UK earlier this spring, they are nearly uniformly positive. Check out what the U.S. critics have had to say of Chloë’s performance so far:

“I realize this plot sounds laughably bizarre, but Hit & Miss has a strikingly strong sense of pace and character. Sevigny, who played the craziest wife in HBO’s polygamy epic, Big Love, has found a nearly perfect part here as Mia becomes a thoroughly engaging and deeply conflicted character. The role is written (by Sean Conway) with a surprising sensitivity that is heads above the cheap ‘tranny’ jokes we usually get from a popular culture that fails again and again to discern cross-dressing antics from gender-identity issues.”
- NOLA.com

“But what makes Hit & Miss unique isn’t the prosthetic penis. It’s its confident, measured tone and pace. In a summer sea of frantic entertainment, the series is atmospheric and downright thoughtful. At the center of it is Sevigny, accomplishing the feat of portraying a taciturn, transgender assassin figuring out how to navigate her relationship with an entire new family. And she does it all — the lady who used to be a bloke subtext, the squabbling, the killing — with an effortless accent. It’s the kind of complicated, challenging role any actress would dream of, but few would have the courage to pull off. Yet Sevigny does it with grit and nuance, creating one of her most indelible roles yet.”
- Salon.com

“The actors, starting with Sevigny, repeatedly turn that specter into raw, compelling drama. Think Shameless without the jokes and The Crying Game without the glamour. A lot of viewers may say, ‘I can’t watch this.’ It will reward those who do.”
- NY Daily News

[Philip: "Ryan?"]
“It’s Mia now.”
- Mia

Hope everyone was able to tune into last Tuesday’s intense sixth and final episode of Sky Atlantic’s Hit & Miss miniseries. As always, here are our HD screen captures of Chloë Sevigny as Mia in the episode.

The big question everyone is now asking, especially in light of last Tuesday’s cliffhanger ending, is of course whether or not the show will come back for a second series. Although as far as we know the show has been a ringing success for Sky Atlantic both critically and ratings-wise, and Chloë herself did not dismiss the possibility of another series during her last month’s promotional visit to the UK, no continuation has been announced as yet. If you’d like to see the show continue, however, drop Sky Atlantic a line about it via their Facebook page or Twitter account @skyatlantic.

In the mean time, enjoy this final set of caps and don’t forget to get your copy of the DVD / Blu-Ray on July 2 (Region 2/Europe only)!
