Matthew Rhys bids farewell to his role as the detective in the hit series 'Perry Mason' as HBO announces its cancellation after two seasons. The one-hour show, executive produced by Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey, recently concluded its second season on April 24.

In a statement to the media, HBO expressed gratitude for the outstanding work of Matthew Rhys and the talented cast and crew of 'Perry Mason' in reimagining the beloved franchise. Although there won't be another season of the series, HBO looks forward to future collaborations with the creative team at Team Downey.
