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.”

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?
Absolutely best show of the season! Please bring it back – it has endless possibilities!!!
I think this is one of the best shows I have seen since Game of Thrones… This show slowly drew you in and develop the characters in a way that you can understand what driving them to do what they do. A brotherhood of the cast (team) was developed throughout the season. Definitely needs to be back next year. My wife cried at the end.
I cried too. Happy-sad tears.
Me too,Halfbreed and Languid… ;-(
I love this show. The music is superb and the characters are fun. I really hope it makes it for another season.
Outstanding TV. Great storyline, character development and casting. Please bring it back!
Please bring it back!
Roadies is great. David Nevins should ebew it – it is unique, well directed and has a lot of heart. Bravo to Cameron Crowe.
I really enjoyed the show. Loved the music. I think this could be a voice for what’s wrong with today’s music and why the newer music doesn’t have the longevity of older music… Irregardless of the genre.
I really enjoyed it. A show that wasn’t another drama and wasn’t a slapstick comedy. Also with such great music throughout, made it the highlight of my watching week. Please bring back, the characters are fun and enjoyable to watch and are now built and ready to explore.
Bring it back! Finally something different and forth watching, screw the ratings it’s going to catch on if it gets another season…
I just found the show. I bin watched the whole season. I hope the show is not canceled.
I thought the show was great , I was in a a few bands through out my life, until I got MS, this show brought back great memories! I love the show, please bring them back for another season!
I sure hope they reconsider and renew this show for a second season. The premise of Roadies is refreshing, nothing quite like it on tv. Give the characters another season to develop, they deserve it.
I loved the show! It was so different than anything out there. The cast and storyline was very good. It will be missed.
