Get Shorty (2017–2019) watch online

Get Shorty is an American comedy-drama television series, based on the 1990 novel by Elmore Leonard, and serves as the third installment overall in its titular franchise. Created by Davey Holmes, it premiered on August 13, 2017, on Epix. It stars Chris O'Dowd, Ray Romano, Sean Bridgers, Carolyn Dodd, Lidia Porto, Goya Robles, Megan Stevenson, Lucy Walters, and Sarah Stiles. In December 2018, it was renewed for a third season, which began airing on October 6, 2019. A total of twenty-seven episodes were aired. Although no further seasons have been commissioned, MGM+ has not officially cancelled the show.

The series does not use the plot or any characters from the novel. The series borrows only the novel's basic premise of a gangster who attempts to produce a film and a low-budget movie director indebted to organized crime, as well as Leonard's darkly comedic tone. For that reason, the series has been described as more of an "homage" than an adaptation. The novel was previously adapted for the 1995 film.
