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 would definitely watch season 2 and 3 ey
I am very disappointed! I binge watched this and am in the “show hole” now. Ha!
I was so addicted to this series, I watched alll of it’s episodes in one night. My dauhter told me about it earlier that day, and after seeing and hearing a few minutes of it at that time, I simply HAD to watch it! Both of us got the impression that there were no more seasons to follow,but we sure wish there were. Both of us were captivated!
I really wanted to watch the second season so disappointed.
I was really looking forward to Season 2
I really was looking forward to a second season
REALLY DISAPPOINTING THERE WILL BE NO SECOND SEASON
I’m terribly disappointed to hear this is the end of a very compelling show. Each episode left me waiting for the next and the finale on the edge of me seat for a 2nd season. A very poor decision to give up a unique series, set in the cut throat world of dance. It stepped outside the usual flavor of the month “crime, finance, historical” or worse yet….the dumbified network goop spooned out on cable. Very sad to see its demise
I’m SO disappointed to hear there is no second season…..I was totally compelled by the twists and turns the story took.
Bad timing with DANCER movie showing – could have reached a whole new level and audience.
They say it was too expensive to continue….only they will know and have their reasons. Will just mean more creative talent on the market again!
I would absolutely LOVE to see more!!! Why would they stop? It can’t possibly cost as much as Black Sails or Outlander to make. Those must be made on location, this is in a studio. Also the dancing is beautiful, but there could be less of the dancing and more of the plot lines, to make production cost less . They are in season now, so they just perform the same performance every night, so the audience doesn’t need to see that. They can make the next season more about the plots and we just know they dance every night.… Read more »
I would like to see more seasons. It was my favorite serie.!
As soon as it ended I said to myself… that has to be the end, it was perfect. To attempt to start another series it will only take away, not add.
Forgive my typos but i can’t seem to text to save my life.
I am not happy with how yhe season ended. Even though she was sensational dancer but she had dark secrets. Those still need to be reveled. So didnher beotherbdie, did the guy whonkilled himget caught,does she ever find out. They had a sick relationship but you can tell she loves him. I think the show would do great. If not maybe put it in Netflix.
Signed,
Not a happy fan.
I thought the show was great. I’m not really fan of the dance, but the show was very riveting. I would definitely watch any additional Seasons as I feel their was more for the main characters to work out and mini subplots that could be brought out in a second season
