Why was Counterpart cancelled? Recently, Starz boss Jeffrey Hirsch discussed the network’s decision to end the TV show after two seasons, Deadline reports.
The sci-fi spy drama stars JK Simmons as Howard Silk, a low-level bureaucrat who discovers a major secret while working for the UN in Germany. The cast also includes Olivia Williams, Harry Lloyd, Nicholas Pinnock, Nazanin Boniadi, and Sara Serraiocco.
During this year’s TCA summer press conference, Hirsch explained why Starz decided to cancel Counterpart, saying:
Counterpart was a great show, we had great partners in MRC and Justin is a great writer, but it was a very complicated show, a very male show. We had picked that show up and made a two season commitment before we’d honed in on this premium female strategy.”
What do you think? Have you seen Counterpart? Would you have watched a third season?
