Hit & Run was written by Avi Issacharoff, Lior Raz, Dawn Prestwich, and Nicole Yorkin.[8] Mike Barker directed the pilot and 3 other episodes; Neasa Hardiman and Rotem Shamir directed 3 and 2 episodes, respectively.[4] This is the first Netflix original series from Israel.[citation needed] On 20 September 2021, after mediocre streaming success, Netflix canceled the series after one season.[2]
On 12 July 2021, Netflix released the first trailer for the series.[9] The series premiered on 6 August 2021.[1]
Daniel Feinberg panned the show, writing for The Hollywood Reporter that any "momentum Hit & Run builds in the early episodes - and it builds a tremendous amount - basically dissipates due to increasingly dumb narrative developments."[10] In the Decider, Joel Keller recommends the show saying the show "boasts a fine international cast, an interesting premise, and opens up a lot of story avenues without confusing the viewer".[11]
