“While we won’t be moving forward with another season of the series, we are excited to continue working with the brilliant creatives at Team Downey on future projects.”

“It has been an exciting journey to work with the immensely talented team behind Perry Mason. Viewers have relished being transported back in time to 1930s Los Angeles each week, and we are thrilled to welcome the show back for a second season,” said HBO’s Francesca Orsi in a statement.

The show was originally pitched as a feature film for Robert Downey Jr.

If you haven’t watched yet, the show “is based on the character from the Erle Stanley Gardner novels — though it takes place before Mason becomes the defense attorney made familiar by the 1957-66 CBS series. In this Los Angeles noir version, Mason is a low-rent private investigator haunted by his wartime experience in France and suffering from a broken marriage.”

The series stars Matthew Rhys as Mason, with Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk, Shea Whigham, Tatiana Maslany and John Lithgow also on the cast.

Robert Downey, Jr. popped into the Perry Mason panel tonight during the virtual ATX Festival and delivered some very exciting news.

The 55-year-old actor and wife Susan, are executive producers on the HBO show which stars Matthew Rhys as the title character.

Robert‘s cameo happened when the moderator asked panelists when the show would premiere and he crashed the party, so he could answer.

“I have been on my heels for 92 minutes,” he shared. “First I would like to say the usual: you’re welcome.”

Robert then revealed Perry Mason would debut on June 21 at 9/8c on the primetime network.

“That’s the slot, by the way. That 9 p.m. Sunday slot, that’s the good one,” he added.
