Perry Mason is an American period drama television series created by Rolin Jones and Ron Fitzgerald for HBO. Based on the character of the same name by Erle Stanley Gardner,[2] the series stars Matthew Rhys in the title role and premiered on June 21, 2020.

In July 2020, HBO renewed the series for a second season.[3] In April 2021, it was announced that Jones and Fitzgerald left the series and were replaced as showrunners by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler.[4] The second season premiered on March 6, 2023.[5] Both seasons have received mostly positive critical reviews, with praise going towards the cinematography, production design, and performances of its cast, particularly Rhys. In June 2023, the series was canceled after two seasons.[6]
