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 absolutely loved this show! Who can I write to to beg and plead for more seasons?
Please tell me who to write to to beg and plead for a second season! This show is very well written and the characters are just getting started. I absolutely love this show!
More , more , more !!!! Season 2 is a must !
Yes bring on another season! Please.
Need Season 2.. captivating series.. want more
Found series riveting. Tremendous acting. No closure. Please, a season 2.
Found the series riveting. No closure at the end. Didn’t understand the climax with Romeo. I thought sometimes the audio garbled. Please, a season 2.
No, we definitely don’t need more thought-provoking, deep television. Bring on more Kardashians for the billionth season in a row. It is irritating that idiocy sells while great television ends up on the slush pile.
I was a ballet dancer when I was younger and I love love love this series. Well written and great dancing I too wish for more!! It shows a dark but realistic side to professional ballet! Some of these issues probably exaggerated but do happen and the series really holds your interest!
Please please another season!!!!
I’m sad 🙁 I want season 2.
To many lose ends we need season Two please
Love this show!! However, not shocked there is no plan for a season 2. It seems like the really powerful creative shows never make it. The garbage seems to always find a way. Very frustrating!
I love this show I wish they was more to it
This is a great show. Other members of the household would get captivated by it when I was watching and end up watching it with me. I’m shocked to hear that there isn’t a plan for a 2nd season. Please reconsider, Starz!
Please, please, please give us more!!! So much talent to be further enjoyed! Exquisite as well as powerful dancing. Brilliant choreography. Creative story line with unexpected twists and turns. Extraordinary acting!!! Let us explore this world and these lives for at least another season!
