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?
Seriously! Cancelled! We just watched the last of the show on season 2 and we’re looking forward to more. Crazy to cancel such a good show. Hopefully someone will rethink this decision.
Fantastic show. Any way to bring it back?
This was a good show ……. lots of human interest …… it only needs some script TLC and it could have a long run ………. BRAVO to the actors …….. every character had a huge personality and it was working for me….i will vote to bring it back
This sucks that they had cancelled this show. It was really getting good and we were left hangin’ at the end of season 2. That was no way to end the show.
Unfortunately I’ve just discovered Copper on Netflix! Imagine my surprise when I watched all the episodes in order to be up to date when Season 3 came! If I had known that it was a Cancelled Show I would not have watched all the episodes via Netflix! How utterly disappointing, how stupid of BBC to cancel such a gripping TV Series! I absolutely LOVE this Show! Is there any way to bring it back? I very rarely find such great TV Series that I get so involved. Please let us know if there is anything we/I can do to help… Read more »
Check out the Bring Back Copper Facebook page for everything that has been done and is still being done to keep the hope alive of reviving the show. As others have said on this page, there were letter writing campaigns to make the other networks aware of the show (not to mention emails to BBC A and the producers directly). At this point, our best hope is that they can get a movie made to wrap up the cliffhanger and consolidate what was supposed to be Season 3 (which was already plotted out) into a 2 hour movie to bring… Read more »
vary upset to see this show go wanted to see who killed those two people at the end and where Evea went and if she’s still alive in my opinion it was the best show on BBC i’ve seen since Merlin I will miss it very much
I love this show, and I hope to see more of Kevin Ryan! Bring it back!
Check out Kevin in Crossbones on NBC. PLUS he is filming Sons of Liberty now which will air in fall. You should follow his facebook page. Hes veryfunny and gracious with fans.
you suck faces!
This really sucked! I normally don’t watch series but got so involved with Copper. I don’t like the fact that BBC just leaves you hanging at the end. What happened to Eva and her baby, and what will be the deciding factor in Kavin’s future? If BBC has stopped the series for good? Then I will never watch any other series that BBC puts on again.
Feeling very dissatisfied, and frustrated.
Very disappointed that there will not be a season three. Please bring it back
You can sign a petition on FB to bring back Copper. We need to bombard BBC with emails so they’ll save the series! I am so disappointed since it’s the best tv program on air@ Let’s try and bring it back@
We already did all that. The emails to the BBCA, to other networks asking for them to bring the show to their networks, to the creators of the show….they tweet about it every Sunday nite and there are 3 petitions. But they already tore down the sets, auctioned off the parts, sold the costumes and the principals have moved on to other roles. Sorry. You are 6 months too late.
i’m sure they could get new stuff and entice the actors to come back.i’m sure amc would take it on.don’t get why good shows get cancelled.run 4-6 seasons and then cancel after you’ve summed everything up.not with a cliffhanger
We tried AMC. We wrote all the prime cable, regular cable, major networks and online streaming companies. The ones that replied gave pat replies thanking for suggestion but explaining too hard to take over show from another network.
I agree
Seems like any show worth watching is cancelled for some reason. This was one of the best shows on TV. I do not know who made this decision but they should be canceled. I suppose that Ripper Street is next. We need more TV that is geared to adults and not to teenagers.
It is a sad day in tv land when a great show like “Cooper” gets taken off the air. Email BBc and tell them what you want to watch and not to cancel great shows like this.

I a sadden that “Cooper” was canceled it was a reflection of an Irish Blackman and wealthy man who fought together. Please bring it back. There are more stories to tell.
I loved the realism. Wish it would come back.
how unbelievably stupid of the producers to decide to cancel this soul touching series. copper was refreshingly different, something that obviously the dim-witted producers aren’t bright enough to embrace. sickens me to realize that the people in power are such small-minded beings.
