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 would love to see more of this show. The characters are amazing and easy to fall in love with. The writing is excellent, lots of twists, and good storylines. I am sad to see it go. It seems we get a good show like this one and it doesn’t last. I don’t understand why. Hats off to all involved for making such a great show.
I would love to see this continue. I feel BBC did not give it a good showing. I just found it in 2020
So did I and more please! It is great!
I would love to see this show come back. I feel the BBC did not give it a good showing. I just found it in 2020
I just finished watching The Muskateers 3 times…it is exciting, spell binding and intriguing…loved the characters and the storylines…the battle scenes are engrossing, especially the swordfighting…Howard Charles was a standout, but that is not to say the rest of the cast made this series…of there was a movie I definately would see it, probably, more then once…my regards to the script writers and the directors…well done everyone…A new fan from the Stayes…Thank you for an brilliant new view of a great story…
Bring The Musketeers back we know you can so just do it ill pay for it if that’s what it takes
I have been notified with BBC they do a couple of seasons and then they drop the show. Same thing with Atlantis after 2 season they drop the show. It’s sad because they are really good compare to some of the so call shows we have to pick from. BBC should bring back some of theses shows because they are really good shows.
Note to BBC: Bring back The Musketeers, please.
Season Three ended on a happy note for all the Musketeers. Seems there is no reason for a new season.
I’m sorry to see the series end on such a great season I was hoping it was going to keep going to see how it all turned out for everyone but ig since it’s cancelled no one will ever know but great job is was a really fantastic show while it laste
I started watching back in 2014 and saw seasons 1 and 2. I waited for a hopeful 3 but lost contact. I am just seeing three and my god, it is the greatest. I love the brotherhood and the action was the best shot I feel. I just don’t understand why you end such a fine show like this? Is it that you have a issue with good shows? You hate successful products such as this? If I had money I would do it myself. In the states, it had a following. It was very popular. People stop watching shows… Read more »
Shame it ended , would be good if they could revive this series . Always been a fan of musketeers and this was my favourite version .
You never know the producers might come to there senses and realise this was a good series and bring it back , this has lots of potential
Another poor decision cutting the Musketeers series at 3 seasons was very well done and one of the best done. Disappointed.
Can’t believe this series has ended! All the good ones are cut short while the trash plays on forever. So sad.
So sad that this series has ended. It was the best show ever! All the good series are cut way to short while the trash keeps playing on forever.
ACTUALLY THE BEST SHOW EVERY
