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?
Hope it gets picked up.I love this seried
I hope another network picks up Prodigal Son! I totally enjoyed watching it every week.
Please let it get picked up on another network. With how it ended we need to know what will happen with Malcom as we as the story. Between Gil and Jessica and what will happen with the Vivian character.
This is my favorite show. I was so shocked when I saw it was getting canceled. I need it back on.
Someone please renew it. Loved the show and the cast of characters
? What is Fox thinking I hope C W Prime video Someone picks up this wonderful show. You keep Shazam and my name is Kate whatever. Stupid comedy is but you don’t keep a wonderful drama with wonderful actors who know how to act it’s a sad commentary for Fox which keeps on going downhill
The show must go on!!!!
What these networks need to do is get real ratings from real people. I am so sick of getting hooked on a good program only to have it canceled due to poor ratings. Who are these people who do these ratings anyway? Do they really represent a true cross-section of society? I am so annoyed
When a great show like prodigal son develops, why is it always canceled? Shame on you Fox for not renewing this show. So go ahead and keep on with the creepy vampire far out stuff and I’ll keep changing my channel off your network.
Oh sure, give me a something(prodigal son) I like to watch, then cancel it. Keep doing that & I’ll stop watching TV altogether!!
I have to agree with you! I watched the last episode last night and was very saddened that I won’t see it again. It had become my favorite show. I’m getting tired of starting to watch a series and have it cancelled. I’m with you on not watching TV . I’ll be boycotting FOX for sure. What a waste of talent canceling this series!!
I really hope another network picks up Prodigal Son! It is such a great show and can have many more exciting story lines.
yes please
It is a great show and I am very sad about the cancelation.
Love this show. Fabulous cast and great storytelling
The Prodigal Son is a great show. What is wrong with the Fox Network. It cancels tv shows that are awesome. Use your brain keep the show on!
