Has Beowulf been axed? The Sun reports that the Esquire series, which airs on ITV in the U.K., has been cancelled.
Beowulf premiered in the United States on January 23rd.
The fantasy drama is based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem of the same name. In the series, Kieran Bew stars as the titular warrior, who is tasked with saving the kingdom from invading evils. William Hurt, Joanne Whalley, and Ed Speleers also star.
The Sun reports the series has been terminated due to poor ratings. In the U.K., the first season finale only drew in 1.4 million viewers. At the moment, neither ITV nor Esquire have made an official comment regarding the series’ cancellation.
What do you think? Have you seen Beowulf? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed?
Me and my husband just finished binge watching this on Xfinity and are very disappointed that there isn’t going to be a season 2. Maybe another network could pick it up. Is that possible?

One of my fave new shows. Sure hope its not canceled. Doesnt seem like its gotten a fair shake.
Liked the show. Took a while to gel. Think it deserves another shot.
I liked the show an was waiting for season 2. I’m tired of things being canceled!
I too like the show. To me, it’s the best thing going for Esquire. BRING IT BACK
Really too bad it was cancelled! We really enjoyed it and never missed an episode.
Loved Beowolf had never watched Esquire channel before only found Beowolf channel surfing watched every episode after. I am hoping for season 2.
I really liked this show, and I would watch it on-line later in the week, since I was not able to watch it at the time at which it was shown.
Thoroughly enjoyed Beowulf. Wish for continued seasons.
I had not even heard about the show until I was channel surfing and ran across. I have been marathoning all day. So have thoroughly enjoyed the show. They need to start advertising some of these shows better and on different channels before cancelling them. I’m going to watch whole season and hopefully a second.
Honestly I was confused when it aired on Esquire I watched after the fact but enjoyed the show. I do not know how a decision is made based on viewings since no one watches TV at a set time. We DVR the shows. Hope they renew the show.
Please don’t cancel this show, I looked forward every week to watch it. I am tired that the shows I like to watch getting cancelled all the time. And than being replaced by something stupid imo.
The show and actors are great. Don’t cancel please.
I like the show please do not cancell
Really enjoyed the series. I want it back for season 2. Never fails the good ones are cancelled.
