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 thought this show was brilliant! It took me to another world and the writing, acting and production was fantastic! Please have another season!
Best thing I’ve seen since Breaking Bad. Absolutely captivating, dramatic, beautiful and evil….. and so many leads to follow up on in the next series….?
Would love to see a second season! There is no other show like this on TV . I need to know what happens to Romeo and how Clair deals with her brothers death. Please make another season!!
A better than average series with good story line and multidimensional characters. Starz is making a mistake if they don’t add another season.
The second season MUST go one ! All the actors are amazing , everything is extraordinary . I have no words to describe how much I liked !
Please please please a second season please
The story needs to be completed, this is worthy of at least another season. My wife asked me to watch it, I reluctantly agreed and to my dismay really enjoyed it. The cast was excellent , the story intriging and more so,believable. Bring it back.
There needs to be a season 2 there was to much going on it feels incomplete
Would love to have seen a second season…I am obsessed with this series!!
How can this be an ending? What about the mafia guy and him getting his claws into the ballet company? What about Romeo and the dead brother? This is by no means an ending.
I am totally obsessed with Flesh and Bone. Its the best show I’ve ever seen in my life. Please bring a second season to life!
I really enjoyed the show. We need a season 2.
Nooo!!! I love this show don’t stop it. It has been all i could think about even when the last episode was aired!!!
Love this show! There needs to be another season! Netflix where are you?
It is so disheartening that a fabulous show like Flesh and Bone is cancelled even though the series received numerous G.G. nominations. Yet the mindless drivel of the Kardashians are thrust upon the viewers season after season. Maybe Netflix will come to the rescue!!
