Britannia will not be returning for a fourth season. The historical fiction drama, which aired on Sky in the UK and EPIX (now MGM+) in the United States, has been cancelled, leaving a significant cliffhanger unresolved, per Deadline.
Starring Kelly Reilly, David Morrissey, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Liana Cornell, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, Mackenzie Crook, Barry Ward, Stanley Weber, Joe Armstrong, Fortunato Cerlino, Callie Cooke, Aaron Pierre, Eleanor Worthington-Cox, Zoë Wanamaker, Ian McDiarmid, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Hugo Speer, Daniel Caltagirone, Zaqi Ismail, and Annabel Schol, the Britannia series is set in the year 43 AD as the Romans invade Britain.
Season three sees a radical transformation in Cait’s (Worthington-Cox) journey as the Chosen One with a decision that ties her to the future of her war-torn people and their ravaged land. Aulus (Morrissey) comes under pressure from a new and dark force – otherwise known as his wife (Okonedo), while Amena (Scholey) finds herself in a lethal ménage à trois with both of them. Divis (Kaas) gets a new job which he despises, and Veran goes to the underworld and sees the future.
The series has ended with its 27th episode. The story ends with a cliffhanger in which Cait (Cox) is betrayed by her mentor, who has wed General Aulus.
The series was created by Jez Butterworth, his brother Tom Butterworth, and James Richardson.
What do you think? Are you disappointed by the cancellation? Did you want a fourth season of this drama series?
So disappointed over the cancellation of Britannia! I watched the first season and succeeding seasons. As of this writing, the IMBd rating stands at 6.9 and that’s not too shabby! What were the powers that be at Sky thinking to leave us with such a monumental cliffhanger?? Perhaps disappointed fans should flood SKY with requests to finish the story or convince another network to do so. When Fox cancelled ‘Lucifer’, fans, including myself, bombarded social media with hashtagged requests to save the show, and I believe it was Netflix that picked up the series.
Right now, it stands as the greatest series with an even more disappointing ending than Game of Thrones. There either has to be a 4th season, or at the very least, a full-length movie to complete the story of how Cait becomes the famous Warrior-Goddess Britannia. Her symbolic image was proudly displayed on the reverse side of British pennies for centuries (not to mention whose name was given to several ships over centuries as well). Symbolic figure or not, they HAVE to complete her story. Do I need to point out that, at the time of this series conclusion, Queen… Read more »
Shame Shame Shame they should at least finalize the séries….
Omg what the hell are they thinking? Reel us in, make us binge watch as the drama unfolds and leave us bloody well hanging, with so many unanswered qhestions complete the damn story so much still to tell.
Pitié faites la saison 4. Je suis amoureuse de cette série. Elle est monumentale.
