Looks like AMC is leaving the kitchen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has cancelled Feed the Beast after only one season.
The drama starred David Schwimmer and Jim Sturgess as two childhood best friends who try to open an upscale restaurant in the Bronx. The cast also included Lorenza Izzo, John Doman, Elijah Jacob, Michael Gladis, and Christine Adams.
Even for a cable series, Feed the Beast performed poorly in the ratings. Season one received an average of only .13 in the 18-49 demo and 447,000 viewers.
From AMC:
We have great respect and admiration for the entire team associated with Feed the Beast, starting with [showrunner] Clyde Phillips, [stars] David Schwimmer, Jim Sturgess and our studio partner, Lionsgate. We are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with them and appreciative of their talents, dedication and care. Unfortunately, the show simply didn’t achieve the results needed to move forward with a second season.”
What do you think? Do you see Feed the Beast? Are you sad or surprised the show was cancelled?
Dang. I really enjoyed this one.
Stupid people – marketed poorly – clearly the show’s on an inept network. Acting/writing, all top notch. Sturgess is outstanding playing the jerk role. AMC should sell the rights to another network so the story can continue.
My husband and I looked forward to this show every week. I don’t understand how they can cancel it. Out of some of the other shows they air, this is not one that I would have thought they would cancel
My husband and I loved this show! I don’t understand how you can expect that a .13 is a valid rating on only 10 episodes. Maybe AMC should take a look at these comments and rethink their obviously erroneous conclusion that the show won’t attract more of your target audience. With so many channels and an almost equal amount of new shows a run of at least 2-3 seasons would give the “target audience” a better chance to show their enthusiasm toward this exciting and addictive show!
Sad. Great show.
So very upset Feed the Beast is not returning! Love this show, and really ended with too many questions! Please please please bring it back!
Loved the show!!! Thought they made a great team. First couple shows a little slow, after that,was really good. Funny and serious. Bring it back!!! More people are talking about it!
Sad that the show was canceled I hate when you can’t wait for them to come back only to find out its over. 🙁
So sad. Great show. Plus, they ended with a cliffhanger!!
Please bring it back!!!! It’s a really good show with really good acting. I don’t think too many people knew about it. AMC needs to give it another chance and advertise it more!!!!
Feed the Beast was our favorite show! Bring it back PLEASE.
Loved this show SO MUCH bring it back…please!
wtf……a super show gone too too soon ….if you come back look me up i’d get those ratings up!
I only regularly watch a handful of shows. I NEVER missed Feed the Beast. Absolutely loved it. Drama, sentiment, parenting struggle, deep friendship, temptation crime and evil, family, and attention to food all made the show and it’s characters interesting, flawed, and real.
I am so disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed Feed the Beast.
