Prodigal Son was cancelled and has now ended its run on FOX. However, there is still hope for the series. WBTV is currently shopping the dark drama to other outlets, so a renewal is still possible. Series creators Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver have spoken about their plans for a potential third season.
Sklaver said the following about season three plans for the former FOX series, per Deadline:
The spine of the season was Bright becoming his own man. The Dani-Bright relationship was key, along with a new ‘venue’ where Martin could shine.
Viewers would see more of Martin (Michael Sheen) — alive or via flashbacks — and possibly Vivian (Catherine Zeta-Jones) if it is picked up by another home. “We hadn’t pitched Catherine our plan for season three, but yes…” Sklaver said. “We have a totally sane and not at all crazy story for her in season three.”
Regarding a third season, Fedak told TV Insider:
What we realized this season was how fantastic a cast we have and that we could have a lot of fun with our cases, but we could also truly explore the psychology in the home lives and the personal lives of all of these characters. In considering a season three, it was really a chance to build out those characters in their lives even more. That would take us into the Dani-Bright relationship and each one of our people and really let the show evolve into this kind of crazy, procedural thriller soap opera that we’ve been kind of inventing on the fly.
Fedak isn’t sure what the “chances are” for Prodigal Son to be picked up, but he said that “writing for these actors and this crew was a great privilege. I hope we get to work together again.”
What do you think? Would you watch more of Prodigal Son if it is picked up somewhere else?
Without a doubt. Would watch this show. The suspense is amazing and the acting is phenomenal. Love, love this show, please bring it back!!!
This was the only program my family were invested in continuing. Unique, not a regurgitation of every other offering on TV. Whoever picks this show up, has earned our loyalty. As for Fox, there is no Fox at our home.
We LOVE Prodical Son and recommend it to everyone we know. It’s one of the few intelligent programs on television. This season was even better than the first that hooked us. PLEASE bring it back!
Loved the show. How can it compete with This Is Us on the same day and time? Should have been shown on another night.
Love Prodigal Son!!! Please bring it back!
Prodigal son is one of my favorite shows!! Should have known that it would be canceled. This is why I choose my shows so carefully on channels 4-5-7-9- The owners of these channels will drop a GOOD show and keep trash!!. They will put ANOTHER stupid reality show here I suppose. O well “stupid is what stupid does”.
Yes i would the show was very good and wonderimg what happens next.
I can’t believe this show is cancelled!!! It’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Please get another season on any streaming service!!!!
Fantastic show one of best on tv….needs a home to grow. Fox is missing out by cutting it.
Best show on TV right now. Bring it back!!
Please leave one “Prodigal Son” program that’s interesting to watch.
Best show on tv!!! Get rid of the other shows that are politically based!!!!
Don’t let Prodigal Son go away!!!!
Still in shock that this extremely well written series was axed— but I shouldn’t be. After all, we need more idiotic reality shows, right! NO! Let’s hope Netflix steps in and does the right thing. We need a season three.
The problem is more people watch reality shows than TV Shows like this one. And the ratings of Prodigal Son were really bad. Unfortunately for us 🙁
My husband I love this show and I’m quite surprised it’s been canceled. As often is the case I have to wonder how theses choices are made. As with Lucifer I will follow this show wherever it goes.
