A&E has cancelled their crime drama, Breakout Kings after two seasons and 23 episodes. It seems this case is closed.
Breakout Kings follows a squad of U.S. Marshals who make special deals with prisoners to catch escaped convicts. The cast includes Laz Alonso, Domenick Lombardozzi, Brooke Nevin, Malcolm Goodwin, Serinda Swan, and Jimmi Simpson.
The series debuted in March 2011 to a 1.2 rating in the demo with 2.8 million viewers. The ratings declined in later weeks and the first season finale drew a 0.8 rating with 2.01 million.

In March 2012, the second season debuted with a 0.8 rating with 2.11 million. In that episode, many viewers were shocked to see Alonso’s lead character Charlie abruptly killed off. Alonso later told fans that leaving the show was not his idea.
Over the course of season two, the ratings for Breakout Kings further declined, hitting a low of a 0.5 rating with 1.27 million. The finale aired last month and A&E has decided they don’t want a third season.
Of the cancellation, Malcolm Goodwin (Shea on the series) tweeted, “So Breakout Kings is canceled. Thx to all 4 the luv & support over the last 2 seasons! It’s been a fun experience! Much luv! On to the next.”
The news comes soon after co-creator Matt Olmstead was signed to run NBC’s new fireman drama, Chicago Fire.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Breakout Kings won’t be back for a third season? Did Alonso leaving the series influence your watching the series?

Noooo. I can’t believe there’s no season 3. Just beinged watched it on Netflix. It was really great but just annoyed that there no more 🙁
Absolutely gutted there is no season 3 was absolutely brilliant x
Just finished watching all the episodes and was really gutted that the filming for season three was cancelled….. WHY!!!!???? I am so furious and upset at the same time!!! I really enjoyed the episodes and Lloyd was my favourite. Come you crew peeps out there get season three rolling… please !!!!!
Me too! Damn, had I known before I wouldn’t have just pulled an all nighter finishing it. FML
bull **** man ijus watched it all in a row nd didn’t know they canceled it tht was one of the best shows ive evcer seen in my opinion they couldn’t even finish off the season like dam I mad as **** rite now foreal
You are right i just watched both season thinking they had a season 3 but it looks like they aint doing it any more i dead want them to come back i love this show. And the way the finished it nah i didnt like it…. And if they did continue they cant turn there back on him hes the one that hand picked them and helped them he gave them second chances….
It figures, first they kill of the brother, than they can’t even be good enough to give the series a proper ending. The series had good chemistry with Alonzo in it, ol’ baldy was good for playing the hot head all the time, which is how the cliff hanger ended via his hot head. Unfinished relationships between Doc & Julie etc… Overall the show was better than all the other mindless crap they shove down viewers throats. Disgusting just disgusting display of poor management. Absolutely no judgement or taste. Guess they’d rather create shows like Jackass cause that’s more intellectually… Read more »
If I could legit LUV this comment I would!! I’m SER w/ the stupid ass f’n shows all bout how dumb our society as a whole has become!!! We FINALLYYY get a decent show w/ actual f’n morals & the **** gets cancelled! Go figure! Welcome 2 America!
I think they should have season 3 cuz the ending of 2 I was really into the show please make season 3 I would highly appreciate it cuz that was the only show I really watched that show was really good
Disappointed it’s finished. I was Kate to the series but loved it!!
Want it back so bring it back! It’s what your viewers want so what you playing at????? !
I am very disappointed.
Dr. Lloyd Lowery and Julianne Simms were very closed to be couple, What people do that? I mean cancelled third season. I want to see how they will be together(((
I think they should have done season 3 after leaving season 2 with a cliff hanger. I loved the show and I am devesteded that there is no season 3 !!
Seriously, that unprofessional and bad for business. U don’t start a show and just leave your captured audience hanging like that after all the time spent watching it which is now wasted. How are we supposed to trust u guys ever again? I will never watch another a@e show again because they have simply lost my trust. Why would I risk getting into another show just to have it ripped out from under me and left hanging to dry with all of my time wasted?
Netflix really needs to pick this one up as an original…. someone should start a website/petition!!! last episode left us all hanging!
