Could there be a Banshee spin-off? Recently, showrunner Jonathan Tropper discussed his plans for the recently ended Cinemax series.
The action drama starred Antony Starr as an ex-con who assumes the identity of a small-town sheriff. The cast also included Ben Cross, Ivana Milicevic, Rus Blackwell, Ryann Shane, and Ulrich Thomsen. Banshee aired its final episode on May 20th.
When asked if he had any plans for a spin-off series, Tropper said there have been informal talks:
There are no investors, other than Cinemax. We have had some offhanded talks about it, but nothing in television really comes from talks like that. I think the only way any kind of spin-off or sequel would happen would be if I had a very clear vision of a great new show featuring some of these characters, and I would have to pitch it to Cinemax like any other show.”
He added that he would be open to a spin-off with Starr:
I don’t think we will be doing any spin-offs, but I’m always open to it. And if we did, I couldn’t imagine doing it without Antony.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Banshee? Would you watch a spin-off series?
Banshee was amazing the fight scenes were top notch. You should do a spinoff with Hoon Lee and Anthony Star. The problem with Cinemax shows is no one knows about them!
Banshee had success in its action plot fights. Story line was great too. If anyone wants to make money, bring on the spinoff. If you don’t want to make money. Then no spinoff. (The Seinfeld of TV action)
Best tv show I’ve ever watched. Gutted it was only 4 seasons. Hope one day someone has the sense to bring it back and somehow bring back the wonderful Rebecca bowman.
She is dead how can they bring her back. As great as she was I watched the show for Anthony Starr if they have spinoff sequel I would want it to continue to revolve around him. No body else is remotely interesting enough to base sequel/spinoff on
banshee is an amazing show that focuses on multiple characters who are all connected. I loved every character created. I loved the different seasons. This tv series had some of the best fight scenes and action I have ever seen. People are on the edges of their seats waiting for a season 5. How could a show so many people loved not come back? I’m dying for more. Some awesome work.
Wé loves thé program,we would love for it to come back,you get a program that people likes then it goes off the air
I loved this show and every actor on it. Please bring Bashee back….PLEASE
Absolutely. Entertaining good acting and riveting story lines could be at least four spinoffs
Yes I would watch Banshee! It has been one of the most exciting, serials on tv in 20 years!
One of the most amazing series I’ve ever seen on tv. It would be a crime not to bring it back to some capacity, as some sort of spin off with the core characters. Please bring it back Tropper! You are brilliant! You can do it! : )
please bring Banshee back! One of the best shows!!
I would most definitely watch a spin-off of Banshee!!! Life just hasn’t been the same since the series ended… :>(
Life definitely has not been the same since the show ended. I’m not even kidding I was actually really sad when it ended. It was a very deep show and they can do so much. Perhaps origins of characters or even how the town blossomed into a chaotic mess .
Banshee was the best show on TV! Sad to see it end
Yes would watch it for sure!! Sad to see it end.
HATED TO SEE IT END amd would love to see a spin off with Hood and a few others set up in a new town or bigger city
Only if Antony Starr is in it.
loved the series. will watch spinoff!
We watch the Banshee series on DVD once a month. Wish badly there was a Banshee spinoff with many of the main characters (except Brock Lotus,) of course. Please bring Anthony back.
