What Will ‘Your Honor’ Season 2 Even Be About?
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Your Honor, Season 1.]
A few months after Showtime‘s Bryan Cranston-led drama, Your Honor concluded, the series was renewed for a second season.
While this kind of news may excite viewers of most shows, the reveal was a little baffling considering Season 1’s ending. The show centered around Cranston’s Michael Desiato, a respected judge from New Orleans who finds himself in a sticky situation when his son Adam (Hunter Doohan) is involved in a hit-and-run accident.
The victim of the hit-and-run happens to be the son of Michael Stuhlbarg‘s Jimmy Baxter, a much-feared crime boss whose wife Gina (Hope Davis) is out for blood following the tragedy. Throughout the season, Michael’s morality is tested as he does everything he can to protect his son while his ethics as a judge are pushed to the breaking point.

By the season’s end, Adam has become more enmeshed in the Baxter family’s circuit as he begins dating Jimmy’s daughter, Fia (Lilli Kay). This connection brings Adam in close proximity with the crime boss, as well as the threats against him — which surface in the first season’s final moments.
A boy who believes Jimmy is responsible for his brother’s death in prison retaliates by pulling a gun on Jimmy at a party. Unfortunately for Adam, he’s caught in the crossfire and appears to die just as Michael comes running into the event.
Considering the show focused so heavily on Michael’s concern for Adam and protecting him, what could Season 2 possibly be about without him? Unless by some miracle Adam did survive several gunshots to the neck, there’s no clear direction for where the story may go next.
The only possible avenue to explore is the possible downfall of Michael, who bent the rules and collaborated with Jimmy under the circumstances to protect his son in Season 1. Could his career be ruined or will Michael seek revenge on the mobster whose involvement in his life has constituted devastating results?
Let us know where you think the show could go next as Showtime prepares to explore a second season of Your Honor.

Well obviously Hunter will miraculously survive, perhaps due to some anomaly of his asthma cutting off the blood flow to his neck temporarily, and he will then decide to go to law school and take his father's place on the bench. All because Michael's career as a judge is over. Makes about as much sense as the rest of it. Eh?

I think the next season will be about Michael Desiatos emotional unraveling. His honor, his integrity, everything he held dear and belived about himseld has been lost. Possibly he is disbarred. Don't know what else it can be.
I'll watch it tho because Cranston is brilliant.

Multiple errors in this article. First being that Eugene aimed the gun at Carlo, not Jimmy, nor did the kid blame Jimmy for his brothers death. The blame was always on Carlo, Jimmy's eldest son, who was indeed responsible for the death of Eugene's brother while in prison. And secondly, only a single shot was fired, not multiple. That single shot went right through Adam's neck and appeared to hit an artery. So, there's no doubt that the character died. Btw It's really not difficult to confirm the accuracy of one's writing prior to publishing. Maybe you guys should start doing that.
