As expected, Danny and Lexi’s travels have come to a close. The Blood & Treasure drama has been officially cancelled so, the action-adventure series won’t be back for a third season on Paramount+.
An action-adventure series, the Blood & Treasure TV show stars Matt Barr, Sofia Pernas, James Callis, Katia Winter, Michael James Shaw, and Mark Gagliardi. The story centers on Danny McNamara (Barr), a former FBI agent who’s now a lawyer specializing in repatriating stolen art, and Lexi Vaziri (Pernas), a con woman and thief. She’s haunted by the tragic loss of her father, which she blames on Danny. When terrorist Karim Farouk (Oded Fehr) absconds with a priceless artifact and kidnaps Danny’s mentor, Dr. Anna Castillo (Alicia Coppola), Danny recruits Lexi for help. As the duo travels the world, hot on the tail of their target, Danny and Lexi become embroiled in a 2,000-year-old battle for the cradle of civilization. In season two, following an attack on the Vatican, the duo set off to recover the Spirit Banner of Genghis Khan, a lost treasure of Asia.
The first season ran on CBS in the summer of 2019 and the show was renewed for a second season. However, due to the pandemic, production was delayed and season two of Blood & Treasure was eventually moved to Paramount+. The cast’s contracts had likely already expired by the time season two launched and Barr had been signed to star in another show, the new Walker: Independence series on The CW.
The show comes to a close after 23 total episodes and the de facto series finale was released in October. Following the finale, co-creator Matthew Federman tweeted, “I don’t know what the future holds but I’m very proud of what we got to do with this show, shooting our little action/adventure on four continents and through a pandemic. Thanks to our partners at CBS who trusted us to pull it off and our amazing writers, cast, crew, and staff. It was very much the adventure of a lifetime. And thanks to everyone who watched and spread the word.”
TVLine reported the cancellation news.
What do you think? Did you enjoy watching the Blood & Treasure TV series on Paramount+? Are you disappointed that the show’s been cancelled and won’t have a third season?
I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! I kept MAKING myself skip a day between the episodes on Paramount+ so it would last longer for me. It was such a beautifully executed story!! It was exciting and funny and the interaction between ” Lexi, Danny, Chuck and Shaw was absolutely FANTASTIC!! Shaw was a HOOT and Simon was such a Cad, but part of him wanted to be good! I will miss this show SO MUCH!!
I am going to miss this show so much. Each season felt like a long exciting journey through different countries while watching an engaging action adventure on the way. I was really, really, looking forward to season 3!
Please renewed Rabbit hole and Wolf pack new series season 2 so good. Look forward to seeing it every Sunday .
this was an amazing show. I hate that all the good shows are being cancelled
I am so bummed this show had great history and characters. It was something we watched as family it is rare to find something teens like too
Please, please renew this show for season 3. It’s smart, creative, captivating and like nothing else on tv or streaming.
I’m not happy. I loved this show . I watched it on cbs then Paramount.
Very disappointed that Season 3 is not to be. Adapt, recast… I want more.
Sadly I have experienced several shows that start on network tv and the ‘Brains’ that make the decisions… move them to the premium channels. This (and others) shifted like this usually fail because the fans left behind don’t want to pay for premium. If the viewer isn’t there, the support for production fails.
What do they expect.
Really enjoyed this show! One of my favorites. Saddened to find out it has been canceled.
Great show. A lot of fun travelling around the world. Covid killed this one, as it was an excellent summer series. When gearing up for season 2, covid hit and delayed it so long the actors had to start looking at other things.
The first season of this show was on regular TV and I really enjoyed the show. Then covid happened and I didn’t think they would make a second season. Apparently they did but for their subscription service. No thanks.
I dropped DirectTV and went to Hulu. Added the Paramount subscription (CBS and has blood and treasure plus all the star treks) plus some other channels and still costs half of what Direct TV was.
Haven’t got around to see the second season, but I liked the first season. Not because of the stellar acting or amazing production values. Which are good enough, don’t get me wrong.
But there was an on-screen chemistry I enjoyed. In that sense, I’m sad to learn that the ‘Cancel’-spirit touched this series as well.
I really enjoyed the show, blood and treasure, and was hugely waiting for the third season two begin. I am very disappointed it has been canceled. As well, I have watched the show where the lead actor of blood and treasure plays in a western series. I haven’t watch the western series thoroughly enough to comment fully. However, from what I have seen, I liked blood and treasure much more. I think the lead actor in the male role had a much more intriguing part in blood and treasure. I could go on. However, let me suffice to say that… Read more »
I would of been happy to see the show go to season 3
I liked everything about the show, the actors and the writers were great!
