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?
Came across Boss by accident then binge watched it. One of the best shows I’ve seen. There must be a finale. Please don’t leave it and the viewers who loved it in suspense. Here’s hoping
Wish they’d have a season 3 or at least a 2-3 hour monie
Dam them..Grammer’s performance is incredible..makes me so mad..they take some phony piece of crap..”arrow” ram 100 seasons down our throats..but won’t let us have a third season of BOSS…I’ve never binge watched a show until this one..the performances are electrifying..although the idiot news guy was weak..again can’t say enough about Grammer..I have that they left us all hanging..who makes these decisions..I feel like we’re back in the 70s..everything was formula..something happens..the plot thickens..somebody (the star) saves the day..the end..next episode different place..different problem..same actor saves the day..the end..”Strike Back” yup..but at least we knew there would be a steamy sex… Read more »
