Lansdale. It follows two lifelong best friends, Hap Collins (James Purefoy), an East Texas white guy with a weakness for Southern women, and Leonard Pine (Michael Kenneth Williams), a gay, black Vietnam vet with a hot temper. The show will return for another six episodes in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The third season of <em>Hap and Leonard<\/em> will take inspiration from <em>The Two-Bear Mambo<\/em>, the third installment of Lansdale\u2019s book series. Season one was inspired by the first <em>Hap and Leonard<\/em> novel, S<em>avage Season<\/em>, and season two by\u00a0<em>Mucho Mojo<\/em>, the second book in the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt once darkly funny and socially relevant, there\u2019s no other series like the southern noir, <em>Hap and Leonard<\/em>, and we couldn\u2019t be prouder that it will continue for another season on SundanceTV,\u201d said Jan Diedrichsen, the general manager of SundanceTV and Sundance Now. \u201cJames and Michael bring new depth and dimension to the buddy-action genre, and Joe Lansdale\u2019s brilliant work continues to be in excellent hands with John Wirth and company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAMC\/SundanceTV is one of the original purveyors of \u2018art\u2019 on television and I\u2019m pleased to be continuing my long relationship with Charlie, Jan, Joel, Susie, their strong creative execs and our peerless cast and crew,\u201d said John Wirth, showrunner and executive producer for <em>Hap and Leonard<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re beyond psyched to bring the boys back for a third helping of mayhem. It\u2019s a show that doesn\u2019t fold up neatly into one defined box and that\u2019s what makes it special, so thanks to SundanceTV for believing in it and championing it from day one,\u201d added Jim Mickle, executive producer for <em>Hap and Leonard<\/em>. \u201cWe also owe a big thank you to the fans for the phenomenal response so far.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SundanceTV is bringing back its original scripted anthology series Hap and Leonard for a third installment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7695,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[528,80],"class_list":["post-7694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hap-and-leonard","tag-sundancetv","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
