Overview

  • HBO Max confirmed in a statement to Deadline that it will not move forward with a second season of 'Duster,' concluding the series following its May debut.
  • The 1970s-set drama from Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television starred Rachel Hilson as FBI agent Nina and Josh Holloway as getaway driver Jim.
  • Despite strong critical acclaim—a 92% critics score and 83% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes—and a spot in HBO Max’s daily Top 10, the show failed to crack Nielsen’s streaming Top 10 or Luminate’s Top 50.
  • Warner Bros. Television and Bad Robot quietly pitched the series to other platforms after cancellation but were unable to secure a new home.
  • Fans have maintained an active social media campaign, praising 'Duster' as one of 2025’s most underrated shows and urging HBO Max to reverse its decision.
