>The future of the Hitman series was put in jeopardy earlier this month when Square Enix announced plans to "withdraw from the business" of developer Io Interactive. The situation seemed to brighten shortly after, when a rumor surfaced indicating that Io will retain the rights to Hitman and proceed with work on the second season. But an update tweeted today indicates that less than two weeks after the studio was put on the block, it has been forced to let employees go.
>The number of employees affected by the cuts isn't known, nor is the status of Square Enix's efforts to sell the studio. It's obviously not good news, but the potential upside is that reduced staff levels could help make Io more attractive to potential buyers. It's also possible—although this is purely speculation—that the layoffs are a condition of a buyout agreement that's been reached but not yet announced.

Is Hitman still getting updates/episodes or is it considered finished?

No one knows, we had the news that a second season had been greenlighted but then SE decided to start sacrificing other studios to mask the failure of FFXV, so now we do not know what is going to happen

Honestly what's the difference? Blood Money was great and the series was dead for 6 whole years after that.
Just wait for the inevitable reboot, there's no need to discuss it.

It's still been getting updates (elusive targets, escalations, contracts) until now, but we'll see if there's a June update.
