Oh won’t you stay, just a little bit longer? The news coming out of the last day of the 2016 TCA summer press tour makes it sound likely that Cameron Crowe’s Roadies TV show may be cancelled after its first season on Showtime. The comedy series about a team of roadies stars Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, Imogen Poots, Rafe Spall, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Peter Cambor, Colson Baker, and Ron White.
When asked about the show’s performance, Deadline reports Showtime CEO David Nevins said, “It’s going according to vision. I like the show. It’s a very different tone for us and for pay cable in general. I think it gets better, but it hasn’t caught on big. We’re evaluating what its future is one way or the other.” Other reports took a more pessimistic tone.
The Deadline report said a cancellation or renewal decision was likely to be made when Roadies finishes its first season. Other reporters tweeted more fatalistic take-aways.
Gwen Reyes quotes Nevins as saying the he thinks the show is “…at the end of its run” and that it just didn’t “catch on.”
Sad, although they love the tone of #Roadies, Nevins thinks the show is "at the end of its run." Just didn't "catch on w/ audiences" #TCA16

Likewise, Candace Havens tweeted: “So if you love #Roadies appreciate this one season. I don’t think it’s coming back. ‘Probably at the end of its run’. –Nevins #TCA16.”

What do you think? Have you been watching the first season of the Roadies TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season on Showtime?

Please, please, please bring it back! It was one of the most refreshing shows in recent memory. Not to mention great music!!
I absolutely love this show. I really hope there is another season. I think it’s one of the best new shows I’ve seen in a long time.
Oh no so sadThere won’t be a second season plz bring it back it’s a good show
I just learned the show was cancelled as I was making a search about the start date of season 2 🙁 I feel so sad about the news.. I thing it was an entertaining show which touches my heart in so many ways with good music included. I was soo in love with the Reg and Kelly Ann characters and the way the show got better every episode… I was so curious about the next season and that’s the truth
Give us something watch leave Roadies on. All we have is a bunch of crap
Leave something to watch, please. All the other crap is just that crap. Give Roadies a season 2
The show is awesome. I fell in love with the characters realism. Maybe the show needs a second chance and I second that!
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I looked forward to it every single week. It was real and the characters were believable and THE MUSIC! HOW COULD THIS BE CANCELLED???? Please bring it back!
I loved the season, i enjoy the lifestyle of the roadies and backstage crew and look forward to doing it myself someday, i am hurt that its over, but there was no better way to end the season, as it ended on such a perfect note, id like the producers to ask themselves WWPD and realize it needs to come back, the audience has yet to leave their seats….
Please don’t cancel roadies season two! We love the show and think it has great writing and characters!
Great show! Hope they renew it.
