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?
We binged both seasons every night this week on Prime Video, and we are extremely disappointed that Season 2 was “all she wrote”.
The acting was very good and the storyline is quite unique. We would love to see a 2-hour movie finale!
Just watching the second series now. It is very well made and full of special performances most notably Kelsey Grammer but it is prone to being a bit off the wall and illogical. Why on earth do they insert rampant sex scenes and odd plot lines that simply don’t make sense and don’t add anything to the overall product? I wish there was a third season but no it was not to be.
I love this show! Don’t understand its low ratings. Hope there is a finale.
I loved this series! It was one of my all-time favorites. None of my friends had heard of it. I think that if people saw it once, they’d be hooked much like Yellowstone. I wish they could give it another go with more promotion.
We have really enjoyed Boss, 1st season we weren’t sure but 2nd season really much better and wish there was a 3rd season, but also hope there’s a movie.
Loved Boss. So sorry no season 3. Excellent series.
I just binge watched 2 seasons of Boss. I was thoroughly immersed in the story, the characters and anticipating the next move. Then, Left hanging with no hint of what next, please give us a movie!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the BOSS series. I followed each episode and excitedly awaited for the finale. The last episode just left you hanging and unfulfilled. At the very least give the viewers a two hour movie finale. PLEASE!!!
I just Binge- watched both seasons of BOSS. Totally Captivated by story line! Kelsey Gramar was SUPERB in this role and I want to see MORE !
Yes, I’m in favor of a 2 hour Movie Finale or 3rd season. Can’t leave us hanging like this.
Very few shows capture my interest like this one did. Hard to believe it was canceled .
2 hour finale please
Hard to believe Boss wasn’t a huge hit. With all the absolutely terrible tv on Netflix and Prime, I’ve just watched both seasons for a second ti.e.Truly hope we get to see some more.
Boss is everything you’d want in a dramatic series—except without a conclusion. I want to see how it ends please!
I think a two hour movie is an excellent way to wrap it up. Kelsey Grammer was amazing, and I agree that if it wasn’t on Starzs it would have had a larger audience.
The problem is that Boss was on STARZ.
If it was on almost any other channel it would have had more viewers..
Well written and acted, Boss would have gotten many more viewers and many awards.
Definitely should be a Season 3 or at least a finale show.
I just began streaming it on Amazon Prime Video thus week, and am hooked! It’s an amazing series, and someone needs to revive it and get it on a different network who can properly use it.
Same here. I’m so disappointed there is not a resolution to all that was building up! Someone, please finish Boss! Boss was exceptional but with no resolution, I’m very disappointed!
