Per a statement from the streaming service: 'While HBO Max will not be moving forward with a second season of Duster, we are so grateful to have had the chance to work with the amazingly talented co-creators J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan, and our partners at Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television. We are tremendously proud of this series led by Josh Holloway and Rachel Hilson and we thank them along with our cast and crew for their incredible collaboration and partnership.'
Warner Bros. Television, which produced the series, added via statement: 'J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan delivered a thrilling, multi-dimensional crime drama in Duster, with textured characters that took the audience back to the 1970s in a new and innovative way. Those characters were brought to life by a wonderful team led by Josh, Rachel, and an extremely talented ensemble cast, along with an expert crew behind the scenes. We are incredibly proud of the show, and while we wish this journey could continue, we are thankful to our partners at HBO Max for the opportunity to tell Jim and Nina's story.'
In addition to Holloway and Hilson, the cast included Keith David (Greenleaf), Sydney Elisabeth (The Last O.G.), Greg Grunberg (Felicity), Camille Guaty (Las Vegas), Asivak Koostachin (Cardinal), newcomer Adriana Aluna Martinez and Benjamin Charles Watson (Designated Survivor).

‘And Just Like That…' the internet wants to make background actor Christopher Clark a star
Technically, Christopher Clark was a background performer on a recent episode of 'And Just Like That…,' but he doesn't mind if you refer to him as 'the extra extra.' That's because the actor – who is a superfan of the HBO Max series and the original that spurred it, 'Sex and the City' – is getting tons of online love thanks to his decision to go big and not go home with his performance. (HBO Max and CNN are owned by the same parent company.) He couldn't be more delighted about it. 'It's funny because we shot this a year ago,' he told CNN in an interview on Thursday. 'And I've had the pleasure of working on this show a few times and it is always a dream.' Clark appears in the final scene of Season 3, episode 9 of 'And Just Like That…,' titled 'Present Tense,' in which Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) meets with her beloved girlfriends at a busy bar-restaurant after an intense interaction with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett). A clip focusing on Clark in the scene, posted to Instagram on Wednesday, was captioned 'The Meryl Streep of background actors steps into her light' and co-shared by influential 'Sex and the City'-focused social media account @everyoutfitonsatc. The post, which features Clark acting head to toe, has already garnered over 20,000 likes. 'This character needs to keep popping up at bars and restaurants the girls frequent,' one person wrote on the Instagram post. 'Coincidentally.' The official social media account for HBO Max commented, 'I couldn't help but wonder: Did I just see a star be born?' (HBO declined to comment further for this story when contacted.) Some even lip read what Clark was saying during the scene, especially enjoying his telling another background actor, 'You're bad! You're so bad!' Ordinarily, background actors are not supposed to audibly speak in such scenes, and are instead instructed to pantomime, but those present for that particular shoot were made aware that this one would have a voice over so the actors were free to do and say what they wanted as long as they stayed in character. The scene was eventually overlaid with Parker's lines along with a moody soundtrack courtesy of Taylor Swift (the track is 'How Did It End?' off her most recent album). 'At one point they said, 'Big events have just happened in the show and the girls are getting together,' but I had no idea there'd be this sad Taylor Swift song and it'd be this emotional moment,' Clark said. 'So I'm just there sitting perched at the end of the bar, kiki-ing, having the time of my life.' If he looks familiar to viewers of the show, that's because Clark, who works as a realtor in his day job, has not only been in a few 'And Just Like That…' episodes, but also in the feature-length 2010 film 'Sex and the City 2.' On 'And Just Like That…,' he's repeatedly popped up in the same room with Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) and was a cater waiter in a scene in Charlotte's home. The characters now feel like family to him. 'In my own (delusional) mind I am there with them because these characters mean so, so much to me,' said Clark, whose late dog was named Bradshaw for Parker's character and whose current pup, Truman Jones, is named in honor of legacy 'Sex and the City' character Samantha Jones played by Kim Cattrall. Understandably, Clark would not be unhappy if this unexpected star turn led to more work. Commentors suggested that they would enjoy seeing him in a spinoff of some type, and he has some ideas. Since the character Seema Patel played by Sarita Choudhury is a realtor on the show and Clark is one in real life, he envisions being part of her storyline. 'Maybe we have a falling out, but the girls take my side,' he suggested by way of some TV-ready drama. Until then, Clark hopes to keep working on the show and watching episodes with a Cosmopolitan cocktail in hand and his beloved pup at his side.
