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?
Amazing show.. Dark,gritty and beautiful!! Need a second season for sure…
Please don’t let it be the end!!!
No the ending didn’t answer questions!! Definitely need a season2!!
Spectacular show. Gritty, engrossing, lyrical, beautiful. We’d love more.
Don’t you dare cancel my favourite serie!!!!
I don’t feel like it was enough to wrap up the series. What trouble does the company experience from the mobster being the major donor? How does Claire find out about her brother? What happens to Romeo? Does Claire ever pull out of her overwhelmingly difficult mental state? Did someone put glass in her slipper at the end? Did she find out who? Will she see Cam again? What about the roomate with MS? Too many open ends! I binge watched this because it was so addicting…raw and real, also I used to dance ballet so I loved the choreography.… Read more »
Need more…do not cancel one of your best works! Starz please
It was really good! I love the staring and al dancers! Please more! A new season! Please!
Loved, loved, loved it!!! Please 2nd season ASAP! Beautiful all around, story, actors, dancers and final ballet! Amazing! A fan for sure! I want more!
Loved this show! Watched every episode at least twice! I certainly hope the series returns for additional seasons.
I cannot believe STARZ didn’t see the brilliance of this series as to have ended it after only 8 episodes. I just watched the finale and feel the writing was exceptional; so many stories within the story and definitely something for everyone!!!! This one needs to return
I feel like Starz did not create enough buzz about this show. I saw commercials here and there, and i always said i wanted to watch it. But, i never knew the air date, so, i never watched.
One day at work, i was on the Starz website and saw the episodes. From the first episode, i was hooked! It is amazing! And the script- original! I pray for a season 2, cause i am addicted!
I’m sure with so many crappy shows out there repeatedly getting cranked out season after season, that this show can stand a chance at at least one more aside from only 8 episodes. I’m sure you all can tell by all the comments that most people wouldn’t have a problem with a continuation of it. So how about it?
Trash series with zillions of seasons and this one, which is a masterpiece, cancelled after first season? I think there´s something wrong here… Want a new season!!!
Absolutely engrossing and addictive! Intense and powerful!! Please do more!!!
