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 did not feel like the final show was the end. It left me with many questions and hopes of a second season. I would love to see more.
Please please please make a second season this was the best thing I have watched on television in a along time. Dancing/acting/plot were all excellent. So disappointing that there are no plans to make more.
I can’t believed you cancelled this show. It was my favorite.
Please bring Flesh and Bone back for another season. I loved watching it. It was the best series going and beautifully made. I’m a former Ballet dancer and was amazed by the wonderful dancers and the story line was original, not a copy of most of the other stories on tv.
Seriously? How could the best show on Starz have been cancelled? It is absolutely unfathomable to my mind that the show was cancelled! Finally, a show that I absolutely loved and it is not available for the second season… This is seriously unbelievable! Why did this happen? A better question is, how did this happen? With so much garbage on television and all of the HBO Starz and every other channel, they finally come up with a really great great show, and it is cancelled!
Please bring it back! I watched the whole season and then called my sister and she watched the whole season, and now we are waiting to see when is it coming back? I would watch it!
While it was a very intense and dark series that made for riveting television, it would be very difficult to write a second series that did not simply slide into self parody. There is only so much Grand Opera in a story. Better to find a new unrelated story and let the writers and directors turn their genius to that.
Una serie espectacular aquí en suramerica ha sido muy bien recibida,
Lastima si no continua ya que tienen un producto exelente,aprovechenlo….
I was waiting forma triste series to be Backstreet anda is really

Are you kidding me??? Flesh and Bone is so good, PLEASE bring it back!!!!!
I loved this show it could stand alone and end. But oh I want it to come back. I of my favorite series,I watched the whole series in one day I couldn’t stop.
All I can say is, damn… You have such a winner here! Why stop now? Please bring Flesh and Bone back. This is my favorite show! I have introduced it to so many of my friends, who are all hooked. Please don’t stop now… There’s so much more to develop and your fans are feverishly waiting.
Please bring Flesh and Bone back. I love the beauty of the ballet. The show is so intense with emotion and is so very lyrical. Each character is interesting and have a right to be explored more deeply. My friends and I want to know what happens next.
I definitley want a second season! It’s really hard to find a dance tv show with good story and good dance technique and choreography. Flesh & bone has both plus really awesome actors. And there are so many things I still want to know! One of my favourite tv shows. I just love it!
Ending didn’t answer any questions. What happens now that Brian is dead? Definitely need a season 2.
