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).

This heartbreaking drama is an underrated Netflix movie to watch this weekend (July 25-27)

Every time I open Netflix, I feel a mild sensation of both excitement and dread. There's plenty of stuff to check out, but I actually have to pick something in order to get started. This weekend, I've pulled together three movies that are all great whether you've seen them once or hundreds of times. They're also movies that, for one reason or another, are underrated at the moment. Give them a look. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Friday Night Lights (2004) One of the great football movies ever made, Friday Night Lights tells the story of a small Texas town where high school football is the only thing that matters. When the star tailback hurts himself and is out for the season, all hope of the team making it to the state championship seems lost. The team's coach must then push his kids and the town to remember how important it is to believe in themselves. As cheesy as that might sound, Billy Bob Thornton knows how to turn the material into something genuinely revelatory. There's a reason a whole show was based on the story at the center of this film. You can watch Friday Night Lights on Netflix. His Three Daughters (2024) A genuinely heartbreaking movie, His Three Daughters follows three sisters as they navigate the death of the father they all shared. Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen all delivered textured performances here, and part of the point of the movie is that their dad meant very different things to each of them. His Three Daughters is a movie about how easy it is to judge the people in your life and how hard it is to navigate difficult periods together without driving one another insane. Crucially, each actor receives plenty of breathing room. You can watch His Three Daughters on Netflix. Instant Family (2018) Family comedy has largely been relegated to Netflix, but Instant Family is a reminder of how great this genre can be. The film stars Rose Byrne and Mark Wahlberg as a couple who decide to foster children after agreeing to start a family. When they find themselves fostering three siblings, including a rebellious 15-year-old, they begin to realize how chaotic and complicated fostering children really is and how much they still have to learn. Byrne and Wahlberg are excellent and remarkably game. Instant Family is surprisingly sweet without losing any of its laughs. You can watch Instant Family on Netflix.

And Just Like That EPs Admit to Hesitating Over Carrie and Aidan's Big Decision: ‘Are We Making a Mistake?'

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Thursday's . And just like that… Carrie and Aidan are no more. (Again.) More from TVLine Washington Black's Sterling K. Brown and Ernest Kingsley Junior Revel in the 'Brotherhood and Mentorship' Hulu's Historical Drama Gave Them Outlander Spinoff Cast on Why Blood of My Blood Makes Claire's Journey in the Original Series Even More 'Tragic' Alien: Earth Boss Talks Bringing the Sci-Fi Franchise to TV - and Down to Earth for the First Time In Thursday's episode of And Just Like That…, Carrie began to bristle over the jealousy she saw Aidan directing towards her new writing buddy Duncan. (Aidan even kicked her out of bed when she smelled like smoke. A Big flashback, perhaps?) Carrie later confronted Aidan, and he admitted that he still has trust issues stemming from her affair with Big back on Sex and the City. 'How is it possible that I haven't earned your trust by now?' Carrie wondered, adding that 'I was one hundred percent in.' Emphasis on 'was.' The two agreed to end things, sharing a sad hug before Carrie took comfort in a round of drinks with her gal pals. The decision for Carrie and Aidan to break up was made 'pretty early on' in the And Just Like That writers' room this season, executive producer Elisa Zuritsky tells TVLine, adding that 'it wasn't a fiery debate in the room. I think it really came down to the way the previous season ended, with Aidan's family proving to be such an obstacle.' The writers 'really did want to play it out in the real world and think of [Carrie and Aidan] as real people, and take them out of the fantasy Disney prince and princess happy ending that we were kind of playing with in Season 2. It did feel like too much to ask of those two people, especially with their baggage.' That baggage includes some very old bags still left over from Carrie's dalliance with Big a quarter-century ago on Sex and the City, fellow EP Julie Rottenberg — who wrote with Zuritsky on SATC as well — notes. Carrie and Aidan 'are, in many ways, maybe older, wiser people' now, but 'what comes out in that last scene, in a way, it's like everything that's always right under the surface. It all boils down to that.' (Remember, Aidan wouldn't set foot in Carrie's old apartment last season because of the memories it stirred up.) In the end, 'I think we all knew their problems were systemic enough that they would not survive,' Rottenberg says. That's not to say it was an easy decision to make, though. 'When it came closer and closer to shooting that scene, the breakup scene,' Rottenberg remembers, 'and I think part of it is Sarah Jessica [Parker] and John Corbett have such an incredible bond and chemistry and relationship as both actors and as the characters, I did start to worry. I got a little panicky. 'Should we not be doing this? Should we not be breaking them up?'… I remember feeling a little panicked as it got closer, like: 'Are we making a mistake?' I almost felt like I was in the breakup!' But the writers made sure to plant seeds throughout the season leading to the split, Zuritsky points out: 'Knowing that at some point towards the end of the season we were going to break them up, we had to spend most of our time really getting into: What are the stepping stones to earn this mutual giving up? Really, no one breaks up with the other. They kind of reach a moment where they have to admit that they both feel exhausted by the trying of it. It took a lot of time to build the fracture that became the break.' So does that break mean there's now an opening for Duncan in Carrie's heart? Is she even ready to consider a new romance at this point? Rottenberg will only say that it's 'an excellent question' — and we've got three more episodes left in Season 3 to find out the answer.

Big Brother Recap: Who Didn't Survive Jimmy's Chaotic HOH Reign?

Drama erupted inside the Big Brother house this week and while we're certainly living for it, our boy Jimmy most definitely is not. Two powers were activated this week causing HOH Jimmy to nominate a fourth and fifth houseguest for eviction. After BB20 winner Kaycee Clark was called in to compete in the veto comp, winning safety for Keanu, Kelley then used her power in order to secure herself the week's second veto. When all of the dust settled, original nominee Adrian was joined by new noms Amy and Will.

Dexter: Resurrection's Michael C. Hall Says Premiere's Surprise Cameos Were the 'Best Way to Start' - Who Came Back? So who won the BB Blockbuster and who was evicted from the house? Let's break down the night's events, shall we? THE STRATEGY | While Jimmy has solid allies in the house, everyone seems to agree that putting Will on the block was (and I'm quoting) a 'bitch-ass move.' (I mean, the guy's HOH has been all mess.) The Burger Boys know they must keep Adrian, but Rachel is looking to protect her ally, Amy. Two of the younger 20-somethings who are apparently named :::checks notes::: Lauren and Katherine want Amy gone, mostly because that would be an indirect shot at Rachel. Vince and Kelley don't disagree. Morgan and Mickey (who, to me, are one of the more interesting duos in the house, especially if you've been following their live feed strategy sessions), want to keep Will in the house in order to pull him closer. Rachel goes to bat for Amy, telling everyone that Adrian will give them all a run for their money in future comps and votes. Then, the BB13 winner does what she does best: Intimidate the newbies. Or at least Morgan, who really, really doesn't want to anger the self-imposed BB queen. But it's aaaall going to come down to the BB Blockbuster. THE BLOCKBUSTER | In the 'Puzzling Prints' comp, the nominees must complete a puzzle of a fingerprint. Adrian throws a bulk of his pieces right onto his board and makes quick work of the border. From there, the San Antonio carpenter is just too speedy to catch. Adrian finishes his puzzle and smashes his buzzer, thereby officially saving himself from the block. THE VOTE | Without sparing a single moment, the color-coordinated cast learns they'll be deciding between Amy and Will. But as the camera zooms in close on Amy and Rachel's loooong hug, it seems the women already know which way the cookie's gonna crumble. And when the votes come in, even Rachel votes out her bestie, and Amy is evicted 13-0. On her way out the door, she yells to her fellow houseguests, 'Get Jimmy out! He's a snake and a liar!'
