Production
The first episode was directed by Alexander Payne. Payne helps make Hung along with Lipkin, Burson, and Blueprint Entertainment. Lipkin and Burson’s script was the first big purchase by HBO's new owner Sue Naegle in April 2008. This move led the writers to immediately work on five more episodes for the series, a total of ten episodes. On December 18, 2008, it was said that HBO picked up the dark comedy.[1] The show premiered on June 28, 2009.
The theme song for Hung is "I'll Be Your Man" by The Black Keys[2] from their debut album The Big Come Up (2002).
The second season had 10 episodes. It premiered on June 27, 2010[1] and ended on September 12, 2010. On September 2, 2010, HBO renewed Hung for a third season of 10 episodes. The season will start on October 2, 2011.[3]
