It appears HBO won’t be bringing back Enlightened for season three, according to TVLine. The series recently wrapped up season two with an episode which could play as either a season or series finale, and apparently HBO’s ready to leave it at that.
 
Enlightened debuted a 10 episode season one on October 10, 2011 with Laura Dern writing, executive producing, and starring in the half-hour comedy/drama. The series was co-created by Dern and Mike White who also wrote, directed, and starred in the show.
 
The Plot:
 
Season one of Enlightened told the story of self-destructive corporate executive Amy Jellicoe (Dern), who had a spiritual awakening after a career-destroying meltdown. Though determined to live a more enlightened existence, her new outlook only wreaked more havoc, both at home and at work.
 
In season two, Amy redoubles her efforts to gather evidence against Abaddonn with the support of Tyler (White), her meek IT ally, and enlists journalist Jeff Flender in her cause. Meanwhile, Amy’s ex, Levi, continues to struggle with rehab, and it remains to be seen if he will embrace recovery and return as the man she always wanted him to be.
