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?
Yes I just show it from the beginning to the end for three days. I love the show and I cant understand why they would end it with one season. I been working in the Film and Tv industry here in Atlanta Georgia for over 15 years. I’m a union crew member and I know how they think and we know what’s good Or if a tv show we working on will come back because you see it being filmed and the energy of the cast and Production company or network put up the money behind it and the fans… Read more »
I could watch as many seasons as they would care to make. Fabulous
I would definitely absolutely love for Flesh and Bone to come out with a new season & not just a 2nd season but continued seasons! It is definitely truly my favorite show from Starz in a very long time and any other channel like it for that matter other than Game Of Thrones but that’s HBO however I did express it was definitely the best show in a long time… I just had to rightfully give GOT’s it’s credit too!!!
How can there not be a second season this is a travesty I never been one for ballet but this has got me hooked must see more there is no closure it’s only just begun please rethink cancelling it and lets see more thankyou
I absolutely loved the series. I really enjoy ballet and never understood how complicated that world could be. I’ve been looking for the series to reappear every year and can’t wait to see what happens next with the Russians and Claire.
Please bring it back. My whole family watched the series.
No 2nd season?!… deplorable!
Omg, I just ‘binged watched Season One… and queried when does Season Two start… really, come on; I love this show!!
To not produce a second season is almost criminal.
Are the writers scared that they will not do it justice…..I think justice would be to explore the many many different issues going in the first series. Many unanswered questions.
It is the best thing I have seen on television in recent years, the way it portrays many facets of life.
And of course the dancing is a delight, to see great dancers and great actors, amazing.
There MUST be a season two, I haven’t seen anything like taht for a very long time, profound and fascinating characters, disturbing and thrilling storyline, no fear of taboos. There are infinite seasons of ******** but the really good stuff is cancelled. Money?
I have just watched series one back to back, and am hooked. There should certainly be a series two. So many unanswered questions.
Keep the series going please!!! I’ve watched every episode 4 times and the finale at least 6 times – tonight being the 7th. This will seri s will gain more traction. Females love this series and it has enough “grit” to entertain the males as well!!!, Think about it.
disappointed there wasn’t a second season was looking forward to it.
No!!!!!
Flesh and Bone does NOT have closure with last episode! !!
There is still more to be explored with ALL the wonderful characters that was portrayed by a great cast of actors!
PLEASE have a Season 2 follow up! !!
Not even close to having closure. I will continue to hope for even just one more season if that’s all I can get. A very addictive show!
So sad to hear the speculation of season 2 being cancelled…. really hope they bring it back. There’s so many unanswered questions.. In no way is there closure with season 1.
Bummed it is not coming back for a second season…I really was in to it…I agree with others, so many deep secrets to unveil…how does she react to finding out her brother is gone or better yet who killed him…she is just hitting her peak in her career and then what…what happens in the dressing room…what happens to the ballet…so many dark and twisted secrets to unveil…please bring it back…
I’m waiting, but not patiently .
