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?
Show needs to continue!!! GREAT dancer underbelly show. Well created drama in itself. signed-dancer
Bright show very interesting and different from a lot of the ordinary shows on TV Should NOT be cancelled…..Can’t wait for season 2.
Best show I’ve seen in a long time. So much stories left to tell. I hope they reconsider. It’ll be a shame for something so brilliant to have such an unfinished finality. If it goes, it’ll be missed. If it comes back…it’ll be…transcendent
PLEASEE BRING SEVERAL SEASONS OF FLEAH AND BONE! This cannot happen!!
I loved this show!!!! It was brilliant. I really really want a second season. There are still so many characters to understand and explore.
I thought flesh and bone was brilliant, gutted there no series 2 ! Love watching them altogether and now I’m at the end !!! Please make more
I truly loved the show. I hope there will be a season 2.
Please bring it back!!! I looked forward to watching it on Sunday night’s!!
Yes a second season is a must, I loved it the drama, the passion and the twists in the story enchanted me.
Watched all 8 episodes in 2 days.
I loved it!!!! I was really disappointed to hear that it was made for one season. Really hoping for a second season!!
I would definitely watch a second season. Loved it.
I would love to see a season 2! Loved it!
It is an absolutely wonderful show with gorgeous dance, acting, plot line and characters. It is a huge loss not to keep it going. If STARZ is unable to finance it, is there any chance it could transfer to a different network?
I don’t think the show worked as a series onto itself. I feel there were a lot of loose ends and I would like to see another season. Disappointed to hear that it’s not being continued.
Season 2 – PLEASE!!!!!!!!Best show on Tv!!!
