What’s up with Billy & Billie? According to TVLine, the season two status for DirecTV’s original series is still up in the air.
The first season premiered in early 2015.
The dramedy follows two step-siblings, Billy (Adam Brody) and Billie (Lisa Joyce), as they deal with the consequences of their scandalous romance. Jake Lacy, Gia Crovatin, and Phil Burke also star.
When asked if there was any news of when the series would return, TVLine’s Matt Mitovich said, “there is still no word on the status of Season 2.”
In his Reddit AMA, creator Neil LaBute did say he has ideas for a second season, but he still didn’t know if there would be one.
LaBute, on season two plans:
“I hope so! Billy & Billie has been a really great opportunity for me to fully try my hand at television. We’ve discussed another year or two and I do have ideas where to take the story so it’ll depend on a lot of factors like actors’ availabilities and things like that but I would love to do another season of the show.”
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of Billy & Billie? Would you like to see another season?
I an a big fan of the show. There hasn’t been a more complicated and yet hilarious show like this that I know. I have watched season 1 repeatedly because that’s how much I like it. I like how everything flows dramatically between all the characters and there can still be humor in it. I know a lot of people don’t care for this kind of story, but I am a fan of complicated relationship scenarios. The finale, however was a surprise to me. Just by learning that it was going to be a documentary episode, I kind of expected… Read more »

Terrible last episode. So disappointed. I don’t understand what they were thinking. You can end a show a right way and a wrong way. Definitely the wrong way. I actually fast fowarded a lot of the episode. Such a great show with such a bland and sad ending.
OMG – I was so looking forward to Season 2. This was my “go to” show when I was working out. I practically know season 1 word for word but will now move on to another show since there will be no additional episodes. It was a fantastic show and I am so disappointed there will be no more. Sad!
Very good show..weak ending
So stunned by episode 11, please bring back the series!! The chemistry between the main characters is dynamic! Make episode 11 a dream segment!!! I hated to see it end! Boo Hoo!!
our hearts are broken </3
Just got a confirmation from DirecTV (via Instagram) that Billy and Billie was, indeed, cancelled.
Whaaaaat?? Why would they do that? it was a great show… How come no internet site has news about it beeing cancelled??
That’s weird because I’m showing a new episode on March 15th ; it’s showing as the season 2 premier! It comes on at 8pm and is titled “Incesticide”.
Yes, the 1-hr episode will serve as a neat little ribbon on the show, but there won’t be any episodes thereafter, unfortunately.

T^T I DON’T WANNA BELIEVE THAT OHMYGOODNESS MY LITTLE HEART IS IN PIECES I WAS LOOKING FORWARD FOR A NEW SEASON BUT </3
Billy&Billie was not cancelled but was unable to go forward due to the unavailability of various cast and other creative personnel. A one-hour series finale was filmed, however, and that will air on March 15th on the AUDIENCE channel. It is filled with information about all of the various characters, including those returning and some new ones as well. It will serve as a end-cap to the first season and will allow the audience to know the rest of the story–primarily what happens between Billy and Billie.
Love the show. Very disappointed there will not be a 2ND season. hate the ridiculous last docuepisode. They died in a car accident ( seriously? We watch because of Billy & Billie and you deny us one last episode to see them? Neil, you’re better than that!
thanks for your honest response. sorry you didn’t like the finale episode but ultimately a choice had to be made: leave the series as is, with a single season that left much unanswered OR do what we did and at least give viewers a sense of where things might have gone with the characters and active story lines. it was definitely a risk but one that i would absolutely take again. thank you for being a fan of the show!
WHAT?! SERIOUSLY? you are breaking my heart </3 i love them so much T^T ohmyghad.
sorry, ela, but it was either nothing or something. the content of the final episode is all mine, so love it or hate it you can blame/praise me, but i know that i’ve been in similar viewing situations and hated to never get a final glimpse of characters or see a story being rounded out by the creators rather than simply having the show cancelled. the idea of never showing the leads in the finale was because they weren’t available to me and therefore i devised an episode that was entirely about them without showing them in the flesh. and… Read more »
hi sir neil! i keep watching season 1 (over and over again), it is really great, it was never an “ew” to me. I honestly can’t get over it :/ i really REALLY hope there would be another project where adam and lisa are together T^T
The wrap up episode was truly disappointing. The premise of the demise was insulting and unfair to the viewers and the characters themselves. You could of chosen so many other roads and yet this was your creative direction. For someone who really enjoyed the series, that documentary changed how I view the entire show.

Oh, dear Neil… I understand you wanted to wrap up the series with a nice little bow and it’s somewhat clever using a tribute to make the last episode about billy and billie without being able to use the actors… but no. For the people who truly enjoyed the first season and enjoyed learning about the characters, this last episode is almost demeaning to the fans. The monologues were boring to say the least. So many of the people giving the “tribute” were characters who never even knew billy and billie, which felt very odd and uncomfortable. I guess the… Read more »
Thanks Neil. This final episode did indeed give me closure regarding all the crazy characters as you hoped, although I am still extremely saddened by the finality of the series. Take my appreciation seriously please as I generally don’t watch tv at all and discovered your phenomenal show on Stan. I wish you could comprehend how much your brilliant writing made me laugh and brought me so much happiness. What great characters and such an original and hillarious storyline. Fantastic effort and I hope you go on to work on a new show as you’re quite talented and your work… Read more »
i can’t believe this, i don’t wanna believe it
i was looking forward to another season..so much anticipation but… T^T
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! I love this show
Loved this show,smart, funny, well acted. Come on Direct TV or Audience,at least another season.
Bring back this series!!!
The subject matter, story line, actors, chemistry, are all SO entertaining.
With so much other dribble out there in TV land wasting airwaves, you have a definite hit on your hands. Capitalize on it!
Please, I’m obsessed with this storyline.
I’ve watched the whole season 1 at least 4 times!
Their chemistry is undeniable!
The director did a great job! I love how original the scenes are!
Desperately want to know where this show goes!! I am totally hooked. PLEASE BRING IT BACK FOR SEASON TWO!!
Amazing show.
My wife and I have become hooked… Great Chemistry. Hope there is a season Two.
The premise, the writing and the acting were very entertaining. I would love to see it continued.
I loved the actors and the chemistry. Very interesting, funny show, I really hope they continue it!
The was a good story with good characters. Enjoyed last season. The Series should have the chance to not only continue but grow its followers. Keep the series going…..
I really hope that the series was cancelled due to actor availability and not a decision by DTV. This was a great show. My wife and I looked FWD to seeing it each week. I’d like to know the real reason for the cancellation? There had to be a way to find a work around. Great show….disappointed with the ending. Really? Killed in a wreck? Is that the best that you could come up with?
