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?
Renew! I hadn’t gotten the chance to watch this show when in premiered but I have been watching it on demand. I had to check when season 2 would get started. So disappointing that there won’t be a season 2.
The show should be renewed
Oh, please, please, please don’t cancel this show! Not to many shows hold my interest but, this one do. I love the characters, the storylines, everything. Just because it didn’t do well in the UK doesn’t mean it’s not a hit some where else. I’m a 51 yrs old female who enjoys great shows like this.
Please renew! I really enjoy this series and was looking forward to the next season!
This is one of the few shows I enjoyed watching..Seems like every time a good show is on you (PEOPLE) take it off the air…
I downloaded season one of Beowulf and love the show. I’m very disappointed that it was cancelled.
I love the show, I keep going back to my on demand for the next episode after seeing 113, then I realized it must be cancelled. Please bring it back, it was really starting to get good..
Hey, guys! Look what I’ve found.

Hope the te will come a seconden season of beowulf
I think it’s a shame that they cancelled beowolf. It had a few problems but nothing that better writers and a few be\er special effects couldn’t fix. The basic plot for the series was good. Should never cancel a show just after one season as long as it draws over a million viewers it’s worth one more season to try to get the things that are wrong with the show fixed.
renew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please bring it back! I loved the show!
I wish the company would try to market this show to Syfy. It would be a good fit there.
Loved Season 1. Can’t understand why a great series like this doesn’t have
Series 2. !!!!!
Just finished binge watching. Am very disappointed that there is no season 2. Can another network pick it up?
