Espionage drama Berlin Station has shut down after three seasons. The EPIX spy series has been cancelled.
Berlin Station stars Michelle Forbes, Richard Armitage, Richard Jenkins, Rhys Ifans, Leland Orser, Ashley Judd, Keke Palmer, and Ismael Cruz Córdova who joins as the CIA agent Rafael Torres. James Cromwell joined season three on a recurring basis. The series centers on the CIA’s installation in Berlin and season three unfolds during an 11-day timespan. In Eastern and Central Europe, Chief of Station Valerie Edwards (Forbes) guides her team through the high-stakes relationship between Russia, the United States, and its vulnerable NATO allies. The Kremlin could be involved in some foul play with the potential to wreak havoc with international relations.
The third season of Berlin Station finished airing on Sunday, February 17th and the traditional ratings aren’t available for the series. According to Deadline, Epix boss Michael Wright said that, “we’re truly on so many platforms that it takes about three to four weeks after we run the last episode to get all the data.”
It seems that the show’s numbers have now been tabulated and, given the large cast and European locales, a fourth season didn’t make financial sense for the channel.
EPIX’s only other remaining scripted series, Get Shorty, has already been renewed for a third season. The channel has new series on the horizon however. They include Batman prequel Pennyworth, Perpetual Grace LTD, Godfather of Harlem, and Belgravia.
What do you think? Do you like the Berlin Station TV show? Are you sorry that there won’t be a fourth season of this spy series?
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Anything good to watch is canceled. Crappy entertainment gets renewed.
iam sorry to see it go great programe
For EPIX to remain in the production business, yet cancel Berlin Station as too resource intensive, is hard to reconcile. Uber-quality and they had a real gem – I note that Mark Strong is not amongst the cast of Season 2 Deep State. I guess EPIX is only looking for big hits on a shoe string. I truly hope someone else picks these series up – they are very deserving.
cancelling Berlin Start is a huge mistake! such a good show with a phenomenal, brilliant ensemble cast..and we *love* Hector, strange personality, faults and all.. it’s really getting absurd, how so many well told tv stories get cancelled..and how much the internet options still get ignored, even today..how about considering the optional platforms available..because numbers lie when the internet is ignored, if not an option – or if an option, not properly represented in statistics. jobs, both behind and in front of the camera, as well as money, overall, unnrcessarily lost..and the loss of this show, it’s truly a disappointment.
Agree, it seems that today if there isn’t a Zombie, Super-Hero or Vampire as part of the script it is doomed. This was the best series of it’s genre, with top actors, first rate scripts and exotic locations. Unfortunately, movies, series and TV are made for millennials.
How could you cancel? You were just getting started. I fell in love with the characters from the beginning. The performances made me think of them as real people trying to figure out what became of the real world they once knew. Come on! Be smart! Do season #3.
Great show… didn’t know what EPIX was before I came across the show on a transatlantic flight. No reason to care what EPIX is anymore.
Wish EPIX would have better promoted Berlin Station. I just discovered it by chance and have been binge watching. Time to cancel EPIX. Will renew if show comes back for season 4.
Really enjoyed Berlin Station very much. Quite well done. Stand out superb quality. I’m extremely disappointed about the decision of its cancellation. It is regrettable they couldn’t figure out any other way to continue keeping the production on the air for another season. Perhaps better promotion of this series would have helped increase viewership?
This is one of the best spy dramas on TV. I can’t believe that it’s been cancelled. I wonder what the rationale was.
They keep all awful series. This was an excellent tv show. It is too sad to be cancelled. I hope channels and production to be more careful and listen their audience.
My husband and I just discovered Berlin Station. It is one of those rare, incredible, phenomenal programs – akin to Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Americans, and Game of Thrones. Had it aired on HBO or Netflix it would have garnered a huge following. We are watching season 3 now – it is like an expose on Russian interference and manipulation tactics. Like the best books, movies, and television, it examines our social and political reality by putting it in a different context and then under a spotlight. Please – someone – pick up this show.
Berlin Station is/was a great series. Well acted, great story lines and locales. Sorry to see it not renewed.
Such a shame another quality show has been cancelled. The Berlin Station storylines were strong, the cast very good, and the locations interesting. I’m very disappoin ted as this was one of the very few TV shows I watched & I looked forward to each episode. Time to turn off the TV & start the jigsaw puzzles I think
I‘m very sorry to see Berlin Station cancelled! I absolutely love the series. I live part time in Berlin, so I recognize every single location, station name, and building. I hope maybe Epix can find a way to continue the series, I have bought all three seasons on Amazon prime.
It was an excellent show- not publicised enough- I only found it accidentally and am fairly picky about what I watch. Strong very interesting story lines and a great cast- it is such a shame not to develop this further.
