The Franchise Canceled By HBO After One Season

The satirical comedy series about the making of a superhero movie was created by Jon Brown (“Succession,” “Veep”) and executive produced by Sam Mendes (“1917,” “Skyfall”) and Armando Iannucci (“Veep”).

The series starred Himesh Patel as a frazzled first assistant director on a big-budget movie that is a minor installment in a larger superhero franchise. Aya Cash, Jessica Hynes, Billy Magnussen, Lolly Adefope, Darren Goldstein and Isaac Powell rounded out the ensemble, and Richard E. Grant and Daniel Brühl were recurring cast members.
