canceled TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Fortitude: Cancelled? Season Three to End the Arctic Thriller Series

by Cindy McLennan, January 25, 2018

Third and final season; season three renewal: Fortitude TV show on Amazon: canceled, no season 4 (canceled or renewed?)

(Sky Atlantic)

While Fortitude may not be technically cancelled, it is coming to an end. Sky Atlantic has renewed its Fortitude TV show for a third and final season. According to the press release, Foritude season three will be a four-part mini-series, with a release date still TBD.

The first two seasons of Fortitude are available on Amazon in the US. Richard Dormer, Sienna Guillory, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, Mia Jexen, Alexandra Moen, Luke Treadaway, and Dennis Quaid will return in the third season. New cast members will be announced at a later date. If and when Amazon picks up the final installment of Fortitude, we’ll let you know.

Check out this Sky press release, to learn more about Fortitude season three.

Richard Dormer and Dennis Quaid return to Fortitude for finale

Sky Original Production Fortitude will return later this year for a third and final series.

The third Sky Original Production to be announced today will see the much-loved Arctic thriller back on Sky Atlantic and available on TV streaming service NOW TV in the UK & Ireland, as well as on Sky Atlantic in Italy, Germany and Austria.

The commission further demonstrates Sky’s commitment to offering customers more high-quality original programming and follows the announcement of Catherine the Great and Curfew earlier today. All three Sky Original Productions start filming this year.

A four-part mini-series, the third trip to Fortitude will feature returning key cast including Dennis Quaid (Far from Heaven), Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones), Sienna Guillory (Stan Lee’s Lucky Man), Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob), Alexandra Moen (Strike Back), Mia Jexen (Happiness) and Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson (Jar City), as well as some new faces to be announced at a later date.

This series picks up where the second finished with the death of Governor Munk hanging over the town. Two new police officers are in town from Oslo, sent to Fortitude to investigate the murder, and soon learn the inhabitants of the most staggeringly beautiful place on earth have a lot to overcome…

Star of Fortitude Richard Dormer said: “I can’t wait to get back to this place. I love this world. A brilliant cast and crew. Returning to Fortitude always feels like coming home. And my old friend Dan is waiting for me. And he’s just got this big grin on his face.”

Sky’s head of drama Anne Mensah said: “We know fans of Fortitude all over the world really love this show and we can’t wait to welcome it back. Simon Donald’s created this four-hour special event, which is the perfect ending to the most enigmatic, surprising, shocking and emotional series we’ve ever had on Sky Atlantic.”

Series creator Simon Donald said: “”Fortitude has gripped my imagination like an icy blast to the heart. It’s wonderful to be back for a last dance under the blizzard stars in the cold, dark night and find out who lives, who dies and who goes completely, barking arctic crazy…”

1.4 million viewers tuned in to each episode of the second series last year, which was described as “wholly immersive” by The Observer and “stunning and brilliantly acted” by Empire. Not only a huge hit in the UK, Fortitude has also been enjoyed by millions around the world. Series one and two have been sold to more than 200 broadcasters internationally, making it Sky Vision’s bestselling programme.

2017 was a record-breaking year for Sky Original Productions and entertainment on Sky, which included Sky’s best-performing original series to date in Riviera. This year, Sky will bring customers over 50 Sky Original Productions, including 24 returning series and brand-new commissions, such as the most recommended television show of 2018 in Britannia, which launched last week on Sky Atlantic.

Sky Original Productions feature some of the best names in the UK industry and in 2018 British talent on screen across Sky channels includes Idris Elba, Benedict Cumberbatch, Suranne Jones, Lennie James, James Nesbitt, David Morrissey, Dawn French, Noel Clarke, Ashley Walters and more.

Fortitude is written by Simon Donald (Low Winter Sun) and executive producers for Fifty Fathoms are Patrick Spence (The A Word, Guerrilla), Simon Donald, Dennis Quaid (The Art of More). Sky’s head of drama Anne Mensah is executive producer for Sky. The third series will be produced by Andrew Wood (Will), directed by Kieron Hawkes (Strike) with production design by Paul Spriggs (The A Word).

Fortitude is commissioned for Sky by head of drama Anne Mensah and Sky’s director of programmes Zai Bennett. Sky Vision will handle distribution rights. Fortitude will be filmed at Bristol production base The Bottle Yard Studios and on location in Svalbard, where Simon Donald found his original inspiration for the series.

The first two seasons of Fortitude are free for US members of Amazon Prime. Subscribe here (affiliate link).

Can’t wait for Fortitude to return excellent cast and scenery I have learned so much from Google on where it’s filmed and the beauty of the region I have become a big fan of the star R.D. from his superb acting and the story line gives you alot to think about.

I just happened on this quirky little show and fell in love. I saw Dennis Quaid on some show and when he said where he was working…I said out loud…I wonder if Fortitude is coming back. Then he talked about it. I am THRILLED!!

I am disappointed that’s Fortitude is ending. I’ve been waiting for it to begin again. And only 4 episodes? It’s seems quite a few series shows I become interested in end far too soon. I don’t understand, especially if ratings are good. What gives?

This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. Not happy it’s ending but thrilled they’re not gonna leave us hanging. Too many good shows get cancelled without closure. Can’t wait to see season 3.

The show is great – found it on Amazon – had no idea what it was about; and it was totally engrossing no pun intended. Great acting with wonderful surprises I wish it was going to be more than a mini series for season three but I’ll take what we can get

Watch did during some very freezing winter nights in the United States so it was perfect

I’m going to look for a Facebook page to see if either fans are interested as well

I enjoyed the first two seasons of Fortitude – and then Hildur was senselessly murdered. The character who represented hope and strength for this town gone. I personally do not care if Amazon picks up the final season – as I will not view it.

Absolutely love Fortitude! Having just visited Iceland for the first time last March I was intrigued by the landscape. My husband and I found the story line ALL consuming I could not wait to get home from work to watch more episodes’. The series really could go on so many characters have not been explored.

Fortitude, given the opportunity, has the potential to become another X-Files or Fringe. The Nordic Noir atmosphere is immensely intriguing. Add to the mix an a superb cast and a mysterious, provocative story line, and you’ve really discovered something special. The problem is, bean counters have absolutely no idea as to the value of what lies before them!

I thought season 2 would be the end, so welcome a season 3 even if it is brief. Hopefully Amazon will stream season 3. And it makes me appreciate that winter could be worse than where I live.

I love the mystery, the tension and feeling of isolation in this series which make it so different. The action and play are great, It should go on.
