Bryan Cranston took on the role of a lifetime with Breaking Bad's Walter White, helping to create one of the most memorable television characters of all time. The California native also has a long history on the small screen prior to playing the divisive anti-hero. It was a one-off guest role on The X-Files, as a paranoid married man with a mysterious illness, that helped connect him to Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. He also recurred as the loathsome Tim Whatley on Seinfeld.

Many television aficionados also recognize Cranston as the hapless Hal, a role which he'll reprise for the Disney+ revival of Malcolm in the Middle. The Oscar-nominated Trumbo star recently had another television run that found success, but only after the show ended on its original network and was licensed to Netflix.

Ricky is a powerful drama about the impacts of the American prison system with an achingly vulnerable performance from star Stephan James.

In an interview with Screen Rant's Tatiana Hullender for Ricky, Ward-Hammond was asked about whether it would be possible to see more of Big Mo in a revival of Your Honor, even if Cranston doesn't return. Ward-Hammond expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of returning to the legal thriller, which became a big hit when it was licensed by Netflix. Read the quote below:

Let's rant on that! I mean, that's always nice because there was always room for Big Mo to grow. Monique was out there! You guys only scratched the surface of the things that Monique could do, but Big Mo, she's still in here... Your mouth to God's ears, I'm saying

What A Revival Of Young Honor Would Mean

It Has Topped The Streaming Charts

The cast of Your Honor, which also includes Hunter Doohan, Hope Davis, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Michael Stuhlbarg, and Carmen Ejogo, found that their tense drama enjoyed a greater level of success when it was added to Netflix in May 2024. The legal thriller topped Nielsen's streaming charts, generating billions of minutes viewed. That popularity spike would trigger conversations about the show's possible return.

Still, after the Your Honor finale, there is nothing concrete about the show's future. Floating the possibility of a revival is one way to get the ball moving again, but it's never a guarantee. If there's a positive to be gleaned from the cast's response to the show's revived interest, though, it's that they're happy to check back into their old roles if asked.
