Sorry, Musketeers fans. The showrunners for the BBC action-adventure drama recently told SpoilerTV there would be “no chance for season four.”
The series, which stars Tom Burke, Santiago Cabrera, Howard Charles, and Luke Pasqualino as the Alexandre Dumas characters, is ending after its upcoming third season.
Showrunners Simon J. Ashford and Simon Allen told fans they can expect a lot from season three, including a former Doctor Who guest appearance and plenty of villains:
It’s a new world. A seething, rebellious Paris, at odds with itself, is our backdrop now. What the Musketeers have seen in the war has changed them and what they come home to (the thing they’ve been supposedly fighting for) unsettles and disturbs them.
They’ll have different opinions about what’s going on and how to deal with it. But the bond between them is deep and solid. The brotherhood endures.”
They added that season three will be more serialized, with the season jumping ahead four years after season two ended:
We’ve given the show a real boost of energy, excitement and danger. Nothing can be taken as read in this world.”
When asked if the show would ever continue in the future, Ashford said they’d be interested. However, both were quick to say season three would be the end for now:
No chance for Season 4 I’m afraid.
We knew this was the final season as soon as we got the greenlight. We can’t say anything about deaths.”
The third and final season of The Musketeers is expected to air this summer on the BBC.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Musketeers? Are you sad it’s ending? What do you hope happens in the final season?
I cannot believe The Musketeers is not coming back for a fourth series. What is wrong with these people. It was the BEST! drama on TV.
Now we have to put up with rubbish celebrity TV.
GUTTED!!!!!!!
This show should never have been cancelled, it was absolutely brilliant, yet rubbish shows take priority
Why is it when a show is popular, it gets cancelled, the BBC love repeats, why don’t they stick to what people like, after all we supply the money for all these shows through our TV licence
This show is one of the best shows I. My opinion and I think it is for a lot of people and I hope it will continue on day
I believe this show should continue for quite a few years. There are many story possibilities and the actors are fantastic. please continue.
It is so sad they have decided to wnd such a successful show. It’s totally unfair to fans (including me) to end it. Wr still are hoping to see season four it will be nice to watch the new era of the kingdom and the life of the four musketeers . I hope they do reconsider the unjust decision.
Sorry to see it end! Bring us season 4 please!
I love this show and why not make a season 4 u have left it open to do so , it’s better than the modern day stuff you see on tv now . Please bring out season 4
This makes me lose faith in tv stations. I don’t want to watch anything else of the network after they rip shows away. I really hope they reconsider. It’s just happening way too much these days. It was the perfect formula…..you get that kind of magic everyday.
SEASON 4 AND MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the best rendering of the classic I have ever watched. The characters and fresh story lines, coupled with great acting made this my favorite TV show of the decade. I hope they will reconsider a season 4 and beyond.
Best series I’ve seen in a while. It’s has everything you could want in a series and a fresh storyline for our favorite characters. I hardley watched BBC and was elated to come across this gem only to find they cancelled after 3 seasons! Bring it back!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider a Season 4!! With all the bad stuff going on in our real world, we need these amazing Heroes!!
Loved this show please reconsider season 4!
You are crazy for not bringing back the Musketeers for season 4. Maybe Netflix will finance the show.
