In December 2011, HBO announced the cancellation of the series, ending it after three seasons. The theme song for "Hung" is "I'll Be Your Man" by The Black Keys from their debut album "The Big Come Up" (2002). Much of the show was filmed in the suburban Detroit cities of Royal Oak, Hamtramck, White Lake, Troy, Walled Lake, Clarkston, and West Bloomfield, Michigan. "Hung" was well received by critics. For its first season, the series' reviews equated to generally positive, with special mentions made to Thomas Jane and Jane Adams for their lead performances. The show received many nominations during its run.
