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?
Flesh and Bone was one of the most amazing stories of a real kind of existence that these ballet dancers have to live in order to do what they were born to. My grandmother was a prima ballerina and danced for the Royal Ballet in England. She was asked to join Margo Fontaine as a thirteen year old but her mother refused to go with her as her guardian , which was part of the deal, so she never got to do that. This story gave me a small insight into what that life must have been like. I am… Read more »
I’m so saddened that there will be no season two. So many opening for questions unanswered. Wish they’d changed their mind!
Just watched this in New Zealand and couldn’t stop. Absolutely gutted there is no season two, am completely hooked and it felt as if it was just getting started, so many unanswered questions and storylines to pursue, arggghghghg bring it back please!!
I really enjoy the series, I would like to see more of this!!
Totally hooked and then figured how to cast from my PC to TV with bigger screen. Watched it all over again. Very sad there’s not likely to be a second season. (New Zealand viewer)
Hi I think that there should be a second season as I like the story line from the 1st season and would like to see what could become of a 2nd second season, I only came to this channel for flesh and bone. Plus suits.
It is a great show. I seriously hope for a 2nd season.
If there is no season 2 I will stop watching Starz. I’ve been burned more than once by this channel.
Are you kidding me? That was not a stand alone mini series! It left a lot of us hanging. There was no closure! The dancing was phenominal! Things were getting good and right on the edge!!! I love ballet and ballet dancers! I was looking forward to this show when I first about it! I’ve been looking forward to the next season! Now I find out that there won’t be one! That bites!!! I would’ve never gotten involved had I known!!! I don’t like when this happens. Don’t they look at all the costs associated with putting on a production… Read more »
