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?
I know I’m late. I just started watching this show. It is by far one of the best shows ever created. Starz or Netflix should consider bringing it back or picking up where it left off, even if it’s just to finalize everything.
On par with House of Cards and Power in my opinion.
I am a big fan of Kelsey Grammar and LOVED THE SHOW
good series,top notch actors. DAMN SHAME TO CANCELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cancellation is so disappointing. PLEASE bring back The Boss!!!!!!!!!!
Bring back the Boss! Kelsey Grammer is great and this is certainly on par with or better with what’s on TV now. I can’t believe this ever got cancelled.
No movie bring the series back….it’s a great show.
The Boss was and is one of the best series I have ever watched. I am not sure how they determine what stays and what goes but I would like to add to the others I really liked it and want MORE no not a movie….continue the series. Something is definitely wrong; some of the series that are currently on the air now can’t measure up with BOSS!!! Bring it back
Boss was exciting, sexy, and well written, directed, and acted. Just finished the two seasons and loved it. Sorry it was not continued because we could all use more and a better wrap up.
I loved Boss. Just got thru watching 2 seasons. Want more please. Love Kelsey Grammer!
