Last night, Starz aired the finale of their Flesh and Bone TV series. Has it been cancelled? Will it return for a second season?
Flesh and Bone revolves around the artists who are part of New York’s American Ballet Company (ABC). It explores both the dysfunction and the glamor of the world of ballet. The large cast includes Sarah Hay, Ben Daniels, Irina Dvorovenko, Sascha Radetsky, Raychel Diane Weiner, Emily Tyra, Josh Helman, Damon Herriman, Tina Benko, Karrell Williams, Patrick Page, and Tovah Feldshuh.
The cable channel ordered Flesh and Bone as a regular TV series back in January 2014. After the eight episodes were filmed, it was decided to make Flesh and Bone a “limited series” instead. No script or footage changes were made as it was felt that the season finale could work as a series finale. Starz CEO Chris Albrecht later said that he didn’t expect there to be a second season.
In November, co-star Radetsky was asked by TVLine if he felt there was closure in the final episode. He said, “I think it could go either way. It’s a standalone series, but [creator] Moira’s [Walley-Beckett] always thinking and she’s creating new storylines, so there’s certainly room for more to be explored.”
When asked if he’d be open to coming back to do a second season, Radetsky said, “Yeah. [But] I don’t think it’s even a remote possibility that it’s going to happen. I think everyone’s really thrilled with it as a standalone season and have moved on.”
While Starz could decide to revive Flesh and Bone for a second season at some point, there hasn’t been any talk of it yet.
What do you think? Are you satisfied with the ending of Flesh and Bone? Would you have watched a second season?
I loved the limited season and think they should continue the journey
It’s a great show and a waste not to keep it going!
Please continue it for a second season!
Best show I’ve seen in a long time! More like this please. I’ve recommended it to all my friends in Denmark but soooo disappointed that season two is cancelled.
Just watched flesh and bone on Amazon . Would love series 2 please.
Hi just finished watching the whole season 1 all at once and I’m very very desapointed to find out it migth not be a season 2… Shame to waste the magnificent story line and the cast. Hope you guys produce a second season.
Great work!
Please continue this Series. Do you not see the beauty in this? Your left so much undone !!! And your show received a Golden Globe nomination that should tip you off of how well developed the writing the cast and crew portrayed this series. Don’t disappoint us Bring it Back!!!
If anyone at Starz is reading this, I implore you to do a second season. It was good enough to get people to watch and like ballet! Now that’s a powerful show! Thanks for listening.
I agree 200%
I would watch a second season in a heart beat. This series was very fresh and very artistic in both the underlying inner-dialogs and dancing. Visually beautiful also. Please do a second season.
I loved the first season of Flesh and Bone and was really looking forward to the next season. The first season really left us hanging. I so enjoyed the dancing. So disappointing to read that it is over.
I would love to see a season two. It’s refreshing to see artistic talent throughout and actual dancing.
It’s a switch from violence and zombies with interesting story lines.
Season one left enough holes to create background stories.
Just get it done!!!!
I feel that the finale needed us wanting more. It was an addicting story line waiting for more to come. It was fascinating to see the beautiful dancing and drama involved. Leaves us wondering what is next.
Please, you have to bring Flesh & Bones back for another season, it was wonderful! You can’t leave it like that, I was crushed when I read it was cancelled. One of the best series on TV, bring it back!!!
Amazing show with poor promotion and it still drew a strong fan base. Imagine what would happen if someone marketed it. And in what universe does someone believe that the final episode wrapped up the story line. Wow… all it did for us was develop multiple possible story lines. Love Love the show and the talent is amazing… Bring it back . Please.
I agree, it had no promotion!!! I only came across it while looking for Outlander. They need to promote it!!!!
Bring it back!!!! Enough said.
