HBO's Perry Mason series cancelled after lackluster second season

The reboot of the classic legal drama Perry Mason aired for two seasons on HBO before being cancelled.
The first season was praised by critics and nominated for awards, but the second season suffered a major drop in viewership.
Matthew Rhys starred as the title character, a private investigator in 1930s Los Angeles who becomes a lawyer.
Robert Downey Jr. served as an executive producer for the series, which will remain available to stream on HBO Max.
HBO plans to work with the show's producers on new projects going forward despite Perry Mason's cancellation.
