Is Duster season 2 happening? Everything we know so far
If you just binged Duster on Max, you're probably itching to know if Jim Ellis and Nina Hayes will be back for more retro crime-drama action. The first season, with its gritty 1970s vibe, fast cars, and killer soundtrack, wrapped up its eight episodes on July 3, 2025, and fans are already clamoring for news about a second season. So, is Duster Season 2 happening? Let's break down what's out there, from cast hints to fan buzz, as of July 4, 2025. What Was Duster Season 1 All About?
For those who haven't caught up, Duster takes you to the dusty roads of 1972 Southwest America. Josh Holloway stars as Jim Ellis, a smooth-talking getaway driver working for a crime boss, Ezra Saxton (Keith David). Things get wild when he teams up with Nina Hayes (Rachel Hilson), the FBI's first Black female agent, who's on a mission to take down Saxton's crew. The show mixes high-speed chases, shady deals, and a dose of heart, earning a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 85% audience score. It's got that old-school cool with a modern twist, tackling themes like trust and justice. Is Duster Season 2 Officially Happening?
Right now, Max hasn't given the green light for Duster Season 2, but they haven't axed it either. The finale just dropped yesterday, so it's no surprise we're still waiting for word. Networks often take a few weeks—or even months—to crunch viewership numbers and decide a show's fate. That said, there's a lot of hope floating around.
Josh Holloway and Rachel Hilson sound pumped about the idea of more episodes. In a recent chat, Hilson teased, 'I'm curious what Nina might do next—maybe flip the script and pull Jim into her world.' Comments like that suggest the cast is game, and with the show's solid reviews, Max might be tempted to keep the engines running.

Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Weekend Binge Alert: 'Duster' gives a nod to this HBCU
If you're looking for something thrilling to binge over the holiday weekend, Duster on Max should be at the top of your list. Not only because it's a fast paced adventure each episode, but it also stars a fictional HBCU graduate as its main character. Set in the gritty, fast-paced world of 1970s Arizona, Duster is a slick crime thriller created by J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan. The series follows the unlikely partnership between getaway driver Jim Ellis (Josh Holloway) and FBI agent Nina Hayes, brilliantly portrayed by Rachel Hilson. But here's where it gets especially interesting for HBCU fans-Nina Hayes is written as a proud fictional graduate of Morgan State University. In early episodes she displays a Morgan State coffee cup on her desk and tells her backstory of coming from Baltimore and graduating from MSU. This creative choice subtly weaves HBCU representation into mainstream storytelling, adding depth and pride to her trailblazing character. Then there's Keith David. If you don't dig his deep voice and intense facial expressions, we'll have to question your taste in entertainment. David plays the top villain in the series, but you can't help enjoying his character's personality and struggling to root against him. At least this viewer did. Inspired by Real History, But Not Based on It While Duster isn't based on a true story, it is loosely inspired by the groundbreaking life of Sylvia Mathis, who became the first Black female FBI agent in 1976. The series captures the essence of her barrier-breaking journey, imagining what a Black female FBI agent's life might have looked like in the early '70s, even though the storyline and characters are entirely fictional. Why You Should Watch High-speed chases, undercover operations, and sharp FBI HBCU connection through Nina Hayes, a Morgan State alum who uses her intellect, grit, and courage to challenge systemic chemistry between Rachel Hilson and Josh Holloway, bringing both intensity and heart to the rich 1970s setting, delivering all the retro vibes with a modern storytelling pace. Critics have praised the show's stylish execution, sharp dialogue, and dynamic character arcs. Whether you're in it for the action, the cultural callbacks, or the refreshing take on crime dramas, Duster offers something special. Where to Watch: Stream Duster now on Max.
