The 10-episode first season of the Roadies TV show premiered on Showtime, June 26, 2016. Executive producer Winnie Holzman talks about the possibilities a second season of Roadies might bring. Holzman previously worked on TV series including Huge, which was cancelled after one season on ABC Family (now Freeform), Once and Again, which was cancelled after one season on ABC, and My So-Called Life which was also cancelled after one season on the Alphabet Network.
A musical comedy drama series from Cameron Crowe, the Roadies TV series has yet to be renewed for season two. The cast includes: Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, Imogen Poots, Rafe Spall, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Peter Cambor, Colson Baker, and Ron White.

Are you thinking ahead to future seasons? Would this group of people stay with this band for multiple tours?
HOLZMAN: I think that will be up to Cameron and the conversations we have with Showtime, but we feel very elastic about it. We feel like we could stay with this band and continue. You could have it that a lot of these roadies end up on another tour. You could have it that they end up in another tour. I think it would be fun to mix it up. I can picture playing it out so many different ways, and I think that’s part of the fun of this show. You could keep this core group of roadies together, but you could have various things happen.
Here is more on the first season of the Roadies TV series, from Showtime:
The series gives an insider’s look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of roadies who live for music and the de facto family they’ve formed along the way. ROADIES chronicles the rock world through the eyes of music’s unsung heroes and pays homage to the backstage workers who put the show on the road while touring for the successful arena-level group, The Staton-House Band.
What do you think? Have you been watching the first season of Roadies? How would you like a second season to play out? Should Roadies be cancelled or renewed? Tell us.
Fantastic show. So inovative and creative. Entertaining and truly genius. So fun to see all the musical guests and song of the day. It is truly sad that a show of this quality is not being renewed. I would have thought this. Is worthy of the next super hit with many seasons in its future.
Loved this show, would hate to believe that it will not come back for a second season, Great show , great cast, Hoping it can be moved or made on Netflex if it is true bout Showtime not wanting to bring it back
I am a “rich man”, but that is rich in the intangible, happy things of life! If I was also wealthy in the accounting sense, I would give Showtime at least $1 million to produce Season II, if not also 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 . . . etc.
Great show. hope there is a 2nd season!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SHOW!!! What a lovable cast with great music, great storyline – great entertainment. It HAS to come back for season 2.
I love this show. It’s witty, funny, inspiring and entertaining. I would love to see all the main crew together with Staton House Band. Great cast. Great music. It’s s hit.
My husband and I love this show! I hope they renew it for season 2. I love all the characters and the music!
My favorite new show on television!! Beautiful story mixed with the best artists that have ever been in the business. This show has made me reconnect with music again and its importance in the world..incredibly healing to the soul. Please don’t cancel!
This show definitely needs to be renewed. I was hooked from the pilot and couldn’t really stop till the very end! I haven’t enjoyed a series like this in a very long, long time.
One of the best shows I have seen in awhile. Hooked off episode 1. And I watch TONS of TV. And with such an impactful soundtrack it would be a shame not to have a season 2.
My wife and I love this show. Really hope that there is a season 2.
Loved Roadies season 1 – watched every week! Hope they renew for another season
Just binge watched the first season. We’re now in love with the characters and will hold a very long grudge if you don’t renew!!! Season 2 should be about the European tour that somehow happens after all.
There should be a Season 2
Absolutely love this show!!! So disappointed tonight when I found out the season was over. It is the only show my husband and I watch together. We are older, but my husband still plays guitar and restores, guitars, mandolins, and banjos. The music is great and the cast is absolutely perfect. The stories are always off-beat and interesting, to say the least. Love this show! Thank you. There has never been anything like this on TV before. Please continue……
