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?

I really like the show and carnt believe they cancelled it typical itv always doing it to good shows makes me angry!!!
Really? You made me get into this for nothing. Shut yo company down.
I hate it when a great show is canceled, and they leave fans hanging with a resolution to the story. Can you at least give them a series finale!
Waitin to watch the season 2,
did they ever stop to think that people… like me… stop watching season 1’s because of the high cancellation rate… why invest time when the show will be no more…
Great first season, typical though the higher up snot bags only go for ratings and nothing more. What a shame!!!
I am very,disappointed that a show as good and as entertaining as Beowulf wasn’t given a fair chance!!
Such a shame as the first series was great.
I thinks they should renew it. It was very smartly done. The actors did a fabulous job and the story was quite interesting. Renew it.. Why do you put shows on and than take them off. Bring it back.
Hi im from Norway and i just finished watching season 1 and i really liked this show and wondered when season 2 was coming, just to find out that it got cancelled, like other shows like Sleepy hollow and emerald city 🙁 It has great potential and should definitely be picked back up !!! Please bring it back!!!
I really enjoyed the show. My whole family is disappointed!
I’m sooo disappointed to hear there’s to be no more Beowulf I’ve just finished watching 1st series it was fantastic!! Good acting fantastic costume gutted!!
Loved Beowulf!!! Why do you always cancel shows that are so good and let us forget about things for at least 1 hour. Please bring it back!!!
I loved this show! It has great potential and should definitely be picked back up !!! Finally a show with GoT potential on weekly seasonal TV; how could they have cancelled it!!!
