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?
Enjoyed the show very much. Would definitely like to see how it’s going to end, be it in the form of a series 3 (preferably) or a movie.
2 hour movie would b great. Hate to watch a show then no ending.
I would like to see a resolution, or a continued series.liked the show.
One of the most intelligent and enthralling TV series we have seen! Loved it!
We love the Boss and are sorry to hear that season 2 is final. I believe this show will gain popularity and following as time goes on
We real liked Boss. We wanted a third season for an ending
Second time I watched the 2 seasons. Didn’t realize that 2012 was the end. Surprised it had such poor ratings.
I enjoyed Boss I wished they hadn’t canceled it.
I am sad to hear that it will not be returning, as I loved it.
O h well, a movie would be some consolation
