Duster Cancelled At HBO Max After One Season

Duster is done and dusted.

HBO Max has cancelled the crime-caper series, TVLine has confirmed, meaning there'll be no Season 2.

Duster was set in the 1970s and starred Lost's Josh Holloway as a crime syndicate's getaway driver who wound up cooperating with an FBI agent named Nina, played by This Is Us alum Rachel Hilson. The show was co-created by J.J. Abrams (Lost) and LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead).

The Season 1 finale, which now will serve as a series finale, began streaming on July 3.

Per a statement from the streaming service: "While HBO Max will not be moving forward with a second season of Duster, we are so grateful to have had the chance to work with the amazingly talented co-creators J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan, and our partners at Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television. We are tremendously proud of this series led by Josh Holloway and Rachel Hilson and we thank them along with our cast and crew for their incredible collaboration and partnership."

Warner Bros. Television, which produced the series, added via statement: "J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan delivered a thrilling, multi-dimensional crime drama in Duster, with textured characters that took the audience back to the 1970s in a new and innovative way. Those characters were brought to life by a wonderful team led by Josh, Rachel, and an extremely talented ensemble cast, along with an expert crew behind the scenes. We are incredibly proud of the show, and while we wish this journey could continue, we are thankful to our partners at HBO Max for the opportunity to tell Jim and Nina's story."

In addition to Holloway and Hilson, the cast included Keith David (Greenleaf), Sydney Elisabeth (The Last O.G.), Greg Grunberg (Felicity), Camille Guaty (Las Vegas), Asivak Koostachin (Cardinal), newcomer Adriana Aluna Martinez and Benjamin Charles Watson (Designated Survivor).
