Though Showcase hasn’t announced it, word is that the Canadian TV series King has been cancelled.
Starring Amy Price-Francis, King revolves around Jessica “Jess” King, a tough police detective who’s trying to make her third marriage work while taking on a new job as head of the Major Crimes Task Force. Her police unit takes over cases already in progress: the toughest cases that the ordinary police force has failed to solve. Other actors in the show include Gabriel Hogan, Alan van Sprang, Tony Nardi, Suzanne Coy, Zoe Doyle, Aaron Poole, Rossif Sutherland, and Karen Robinson.
King debuted on April 17, 2011. The eight episodes of season one performed well enough to secure a second year of 13 installments. Production resumed in September 2011 and season two kicked off on February 29, 2012.
The ratings dropped significantly in year two, falling as low as 42,000 viewers. Some episodes of season one drew over 200,000 viewers.
The 21st and final episode of King aired on May 25th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of King? Are you upset that there won’t be a third season?

King is an easy show to watch. Sorry there won’t be series 3. It gets more viewers than a lot of shows.
Pleased with the series, wish for a season 3
Enjoyed watching on Prime wanted more
I loved King! What a strong female character. Hope there will be a season 3.
King was excellent and should have been renewed. And even at 40K viewers, that’s more viewers than CNN gets!
Love the show .. great performances Amy is a natural .. love the rest of the cast too . SHAME it wasn’t renewed
We loved Amy as King! So many bad shows on Television now. This was a great series. I say bring it back, it would do very well!
Very upset that there was no closure. Just an abrupt ending w/Danny leaving. Too good a series to just leave everyone hanging.
I watched both seasons on Amazon Prime. The series ended with too many loose ends. Also, I thought it was a great sitcom and why it was canceled may forever be hidden, but it was a business decision, it was a very bad decision
I just finished watching King..very disappointed there won’t be a season 3 and we need it..season 2 ending left us hanging..please give us a season 3 with a better ending.
i think, without all the personal drama it would have been more succesful. the crime solving was very ingenious
I just discovered King on Tubi, it was a smart and refreshing show that was more intelligent than the typical cop shoot em up shows. It’s sad there is no season 3…
