It’s the end of the road for Copper on BBC America. The cable channel has announced that the show has been cancelled after two seasons. The cancellation comes following the show’s modest ratings.
In a statement, BBC America GM Perry Simon said, “The opportunity to work with Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson, Will Rokos, Thomas Kelly and the extraordinary cast and crew on this journey is one that we are extremely proud of.”
He continued, “Their vision to retell the immigrant experience through the melting pot of New York City was an original and fresh idea that melded well with the essence of BBC America’s programming. After 23 episodes, with Lincoln dead and the nation starting to heal, it seems a fitting moment to conclude this American story.”
The de facto series finale will air this Sunday. It’s called “The Place I Called My Home.”
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear there won’t be a third season of Copper? How would you have ended the series?
as usual another series that leaves you hanging. Don’t start what you can’t finish!
I wish I would’ve found this show years ago !!! So disappointed I watched 2 seasons in 2 days this show was awesome
It has been years since it was cancelled and at this point the actors have moved on to other shows. We had an active letter writing campaign, an active, twitter and fb campaign that did nothing to change their minds. We wrote the heads of the BBC America and we even tried to get Netflix or Starz to step in and take it over. We spent a long time before we gave up. The fb group is still there but we are no longer active. We even had a couple of the cast join the group. I think they wanted… Read more »
I am so disappointed, I loved this series. I wish is was coming back. It is hard to find something great to follow, then suddenly … wack… its gone. How are they coming to the decision that it was not liked enough??? Hmmm. Maybe they should pole again but include every AMC member and give them a chance to view before deciding to end a series. And it was a bad ending at that.
Are you kidding..what would lead to such a poor decision.? This is one of the best series on TV it is so hard to find good TV maybe BBC isn’t the station for this because of its stupid judgment calls to cancel you I think you should sell this to Netflix or somewhere because this should be ongoing story at least three or four more seasons like Vikings
What a shame! Such a wonderfully produced series. Looked so forward to season 3…Literally heartbroken. Who could make such a poor decision to end such an epic production?
I have just watched series 1 &,2 and really enjoyed it really disappointed no series 3 really sad
We tried so hard when the show was given the axe to appeal to all the other venues to see if they would pick it up. We had a facebook group and a twitter campaign that went on for a long time. We even had members of the cast join our group but in the end, it did not do us any good. I stopped watching BBC shows because I was afraid that if I got hooked on a show they would do the same thing to me. I agree with you 100%, Copper was a great show that they… Read more »
Just Watched both seasons 1 & 2 in lockdown march 2021 . words fail me that there is not to be a season 3 ? What a pathetic decision . Cant believe that its ended at season two the way it ended.
It definitely should have a follow on 3rd season . It was a Cracking drama a real great program to watch . Which body of prats at the bbc and Canadian tv have made this decision? Totally pathetic. ?????
It was amazing acting, great story lines .One of the worst decisions ever. Just don’t understand how you can’t keep going with so many great characters
silly ending what happens next
Definitely need series 3, it was such a good storyline
Sadly, after all these years, I am sure that will never happen. It was one of the best shows ever but they thought (BBCA) differently and they left us hanging. Our campaign to bring it back and out fb group did little good but we sure tried.
Third season for sure
Ended with far too many scenario loose ends.
How can something so great be taken off our screens. why wasnt it on one of our main tv channels .l only found it through friends and got hooked on it. The cast brill amazing acting costumes fantastic and filming so real Please bring it back we need more shows like this
We had a fb campaign going for a long time trying to get Netflix or another Company like Starz to take over Copper. We organized and got on Twitter together and wrote letters and emails to the writers and the producers. Many of the actors followed us on the fb group and appreciated what we were doing but after a year or more, the actors had to move on. It would have been nice to have at least had a one-time movie to wrap things up. The fb group is still there but we do not post anymore. I just… Read more »
