(Amazon)
On the heels of reversing its decision to renew Z: The Beginning of Everything for a second season, Amazon has cancelled The Last Tycoon TV show, after only one season. The drama series — inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s unfinished novel of the same name — comes from writer and director Billy Ray.
Streaming on the Amazon Prime Video paid subscription platform, The Last Tycoon stars Matt Bomer, Kelsey Grammer, Lily Collins, Rosemarie DeWitt, Dominique McElligott, Enzo Cilenti, Mark O’Brien, Jessica De Gouw, Koen De Bouw, Jennifer Beals, Saul Rubinek, and Eion Bailey. The period drama centers on “Hollywood’s Golden Boy” Monroe Stahr (Bomer). The young producer struggles with studio boss Pat Brady (Grammer), over the path they should take. The two clash, when the Nazi regime informs them that they will have to abide by Hitler’s standards, if they want to release their films in Germany.
Deadline has confirmed The Last Tycoon TV series cancellation.
What do you think? Have you watched the first season of The Last Tycoon TV show? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for season two on Amazon? Sound off, in the comments.
Really enjoyed this series. Such a shame Amazon wants to focus on finding its own ‘Game of Thrones’ equivalent instead of seeing through a beautiful production for fans of old Hollywood glitz and glamour rather than blood guts and gore. What’s the point of subscribing to a service that shelves series and doesn’t finish the story? Pointless. Very annoying and disappointing!
Really disappointed in this cancellation. Good drama, good cinema and beguiling.
A laudable period drama series with invigorating cast and nostalgic set and wardrobe! Terribly disappointed that it’s suspended a decision to continue. Season two was necessary! Please reconsider…
Finally an awesome series! Why why why? C’mon Amazon get with it. Bring on season 2&3!!
Loved this series. Please bring it back. The story is great with tangled webs and really keeps your interest. Great actors and actresses.
I hate that this was cancelled. Great cast. Love the time period. So fascinating. I’m hoping that it will eventually start again!
Finally a compelling series…and its cancelled…sad that Amazon made this poor decision…
Just finished watching Season 1. Enjoyed it immensely. Would have loved to have seen it continue….
First time watching this, it was recommended by a friend. I really like it. Should do a couple more seasons.
This is so sad! I LOVED this show, loved the story, the costumes, the acting, the diaglogue. Why was it canceled. Who decides this. Please bring back. One of the best series, ever!
