Starz has decided to cancel Boss after two seasons on the air. The Kelsey Grammer series won’t be returning for a third season but viewers may still get some resolution.
Boss revolves around Chicago Mayor Tom Kane (Grammer), a powerful man who struggles to stay on top while secretly battling a debilitating brain disease. Others in the cast include Karen Aldridge, Connie Nielsen, Kathleen Robertson, Martin Donovan, Jeff Hephner, and Hannah Ware.
The cable channel renewed the show for a second season a month before the series even premiered. Had they waited, they might have cancelled it instead. The ratings for the first season were underwhelming and the cast and crew knew that season two would have to do better for the show to survive.
It didn’t. The second season averaged 360,000 viewers and a 0.1 rating in the demo. The cancellation certainly doesn’t come as a surprise.
While there won’t be a third season of Boss, Lionsgate TV and Starz are having discussions about wrapping up the story with a two-hour movie.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Boss has been cancelled by Starz? Do you think they’ll really make a movie?
Would like to see a movie to bring everything to a proper conclusion. Really enjoyed the series.
I loved the series and am sorry to see it go! Please give us a finale. I need closure!
Please do a movie to bring closure hate it when involved in a great show and they leave it hanging just like the news does with some very important reports please do not leave us ha nging!!!!!!!
I thought the first two seasons were excellent. I sure would be great to have a conclusion to close out the series.
Please wrap it up! The series was so wonderful. Sadly, Starz isn’t viewed by many. I never heard of the show until I saw it on Amazon Prime -which we quickly watched 2 seasons – Recommended it to our friends who also had to binge watch it because it was so good. Bad decision ending this series1. Another provider should pick it up. If it were on the right Network everyone would watch and love it!
Absolutely enjoyed both seasons disappointed it did not continue and I found this by pure luck maybe advertise and have a little something to do with it I do not know I would love to see a movie that caps the second season off. Or for the series to come back. I enjoy watching the World Series most which are on Showtime and or HBO and this is one of them up there with the top so I have no clue why it did not succeed.
A shame! Great acting by Kelsey (especially after watching Frazier so many times) to see his ruthless evil dangerous portrayal was affective! Scary guy from Frazier! Second time watching boss, didn’t realize it had been cancelled! Was so looking forward to the binge watch only to find out it was incomplete! At least make the movie. So surprised it wasn’t as successful money wise bc it was a definite success by the story and actors!
This might of been the best show I ever seen. Such a shame we don’t get a finish. Too bad it wasn’t based on a book.
We need closure on Boss!
It’s a great series. Can’t believe it’s cancelled. Please do a movie. Wasn’t marketed enough to have good ratings.
Loved this show, Kelsey Grammer is amazing! At least do a movie to give us closure..
I loved Boss and I want closure. Either a third season or a movie; I don’t care which. Please make it happen.
This sucks. Just saw Luck, loved it but season 2 was cancelled. No I watched Boss and season 3 is cancelled. At least make a movie and wrap it up. With the virus I think a lot of people are now finding this series and will be angry with no resolution, like me!
Just finished seasons 1 and 2. Addictive. A 2 hour finale movie would be perfect. A season 3 not needed.
