While it's too early for the streaming giant to confirm whether there will be another instalment (Netflix tends to gauge the response from subscribers before moving forward with shows), showrunner Dawn Prestwich has spoken out about her hopes for the future of Hit and Run.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed: "We would love two or three seasons. Netflix's sweet spot seems to be the three-season show, but I'm sure it's not set in stone that things have to be the three seasons. But, who knows? We would love this to be a franchise. You never know!"
