Though Showcase hasn’t announced it, word is that the Canadian TV series King has been cancelled.
Starring Amy Price-Francis, King revolves around Jessica “Jess” King, a tough police detective who’s trying to make her third marriage work while taking on a new job as head of the Major Crimes Task Force. Her police unit takes over cases already in progress: the toughest cases that the ordinary police force has failed to solve. Other actors in the show include Gabriel Hogan, Alan van Sprang, Tony Nardi, Suzanne Coy, Zoe Doyle, Aaron Poole, Rossif Sutherland, and Karen Robinson.
King debuted on April 17, 2011. The eight episodes of season one performed well enough to secure a second year of 13 installments. Production resumed in September 2011 and season two kicked off on February 29, 2012.
The ratings dropped significantly in year two, falling as low as 42,000 viewers. Some episodes of season one drew over 200,000 viewers.
The 21st and final episode of King aired on May 25th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of King? Are you upset that there won’t be a third season?

I was so excited to see KING on TV tonight. How disappointing it is a re-run. We missed series one and were looking forward to season three……why do the good shows get cancelled?
I’m from Germany and I loved this show! Make season 3 please!
I have been anticipating this show for a year! and most upset it has ??maybe ?? been cancelled!
I am from Holland,and wi did liked the show,wi hope the show wil be back please!
I started watching King not really sure what to expect and was pleasantly suprised with the show. After watching the end of Season 2, I jumped on the net to see when the new season was starting and to see how the loose ends from Season Two got sorted out eg Jess and Danny’s relationship. I would be happy to sign a petition to get the show running for a third season.
I loved this show! We need to support our Canadian shows.
We’ve loved King in Australia and were really looking forward to some of the ongoing relationships being further developed. Very disappointed that there will be no season 3. Couldn’t we just have 3 or 4 more episodes to tie up the loose ends.
Disappointed. I agree the Canadian programme are of a high standard. Hence the americans buying them up.
But King was at times very intense but felt like real life
You are god dam kidding…how can you cancel a show and leave everyone hanging as to what happens with Danny, Jess and Speivak…. there is so many other crap shows that deserved to be axed…..please bring her back for a 3rd season…..It is great entertainment….even got my sons watching it now…. Please reconsider and give it another season…
Just watched the end of Season 2 and went straight to Internet to search when Season 3 was due to be released. Extremely disappointed about the show’s cancellation. Loved the relationships between Spears and King.
