UPDATED August 15, 2017: It has been more than six months since the debut installment of the Sky1 network’s adventure drama series Hooten & the Lady finished airing, and finally the channel has announced its decision not to renew Hooten & the Lady for Series 2. The series was also broadcast on The CW in the US and the ratings were rather modest, which became the main reason to axe the show.
Heard this a while back, but still sad to see it confirmed. Loved this show - telly needs more escapism! https://t.co/RunOMihFnB

Series plot and production info
A new Indiana-Jones style action and adventure drama series Hooten & the Lady has premiered on Sky1 on September 16, 2016. Executive produced by Tony Jordan and Simon Winstone, the show hails from Red Planet Pictures. Series one was created by Jordan, James Payne, Sarah Phelps, Jeff Povey and Richard Zajdic and contains eight one-hour episodes.
The series portrays a pair of adventurers – an American tough guy Ulysses Hooten (Michael Landes) with a heart and a young British woman of noble descent, Lady Alex Spencer-Parker (Ophelia Lovibond). They travel to the most remote corners of the world seeking answers to the world’s most amazing mysteries. Looking for Percy Fawcett’s lost camp in the Amazon rainforest, searching for the last Faberge egg in Siberia, visiting the Himalayas, Roman catacombs, Alexandria – as the treasure hunter duo travels, they undergo a transformation from unwilling partnership to a perfect team where they complement each other.
Reviews and chances of renewal
Hooten & the Lady has been compared to Indiana Jones in that it is a quality production, yet the concept and execution is more suitable for a teen movie than one which targets adults. Although it is fun and captivating in its own way, it does feature rather stereotypical characters and situations. The series opened to an impressive 1.2 million viewers, but slipped to 0.8 million in the second week.
Series 1 recap
The eight-episode freshman series of adventure drama Hooten and the Lady wrapped up on November 4, 2016. The season finale aired with an audience of 0.81 million viewers and featured Alex and Hooten's adventures on a perfect Caribbean island on search for a pirate captain's treasure. Alex's wedding, delayed by their treasure hunt, finally occurs at the end of the episode. The posh and amusing adventure show has not yet been renewed for a second season, but the 7.1/10 IMDb rating demonstrates that there are numerous viewers who are tired of the procedural format and the never-ending reality series and are enjoying the simple and refreshing entertainment provided by Hooten & the Lady. Stay tuned for the news regarding a second season of the show.
