Beowulf shall return to the Shieldlands, no more. C21 Media reports ITV has cancelled its Beowulf TV series after the first season. The news that Beowulf would get the axe, first broke in February.
In the US, Beowulf airs on Esquire. A fantasy drama, based on the Old English epic poem, the series stars Kieran Bew in the title role. William Hurt, Joanne Whalley, and Ed Speleers also star.
Here is more from C21 Media:
ITV had high hopes for the £17m (US$23m) adaptation of the epic poem but the programme ultimately failed to achieve high viewing figures.
An ITV spokeswoman told C21 this morning: “ITV regularly refreshes its drama portfolio and consequently Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands isn’t returning to the channel.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Beowulf TV show? Do you think Beowulf should have been cancelled, or renewed for a second season?
Beowulf was a great series.
We hope it returns for a few seasons more
I loved it I thought it was very well done once I started watching I couldn’t stop I am SOO DISAPPOINTED there is not a season two come on it needs to be renewed PLEASE
I want to rewatch all of the episodes but I can’t find anywhere to watch them, do you know where I can ?
This show kept me wanting more and more. Season 2 is a must happen. I believe this show came out at the wrong time. In 2016, everything was being compared Game of Thrones. Beowulf a legend reclaimed may not be GOT, but it sure as hell could compete with it.
