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?
I loved Copper. Everything was so authentic from the costuming to the set look of that period and just a great storyline and characters. I wish another Network would pick up the series and continue on.
Watched all 23 Series and was sorry to find out it had been canceled. Would have loved to se 23 more .
When did Copper first air in the US?
Most comments here coming a decade after it was cancelled…
It went off the air over 11 years ago. But fans are still finding it and then realizing that it ends with that horrible cliffhanger.
Im sorry to hear copper is cancelled I very much enjoyed the show
I think it’s a shame it’s ended! I think more of our young people should learn about New York City corruption.. I love have a mingle all the people together and how people wanted to become Americans and free. I love the series and the actors. They should rethink the cancellation!
IT’S A SHAME TO END A AMAZING SHOW !! PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE TO FINISH TELLING THIS AWSOME SHOW.
