Shooter fans are in for some unfortunate news. Deadline reports season two of the USA Network TV show will have fewer episodes than originally planned.
The thriller drama centers on Bob Lee Swagger (Ryan Phillippe), a retired marksman expert who is coaxed back into action when someone threatens to assassinate the president. The cast also includes Shantel VanSanten, Omar Epps, Eddie McClintock, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Tembi Locke, David Marciano, and Sean Cameron Michael.
According to Deadline, season two of Shooter will now consist of only eight episodes instead of 10 because of Ryan Phillippe’s recent injury. Earlier this month, the actor broke his leg during a family outing and production on the USA Network Network series has stopped.
From Paramount TV:
Our priority is Ryan’s recovery, and after conversations with our partners at USA and UCP we’ve decided that we will wrap S2 with episode 208.”
Shooter is currently in the middle of its second season.
What do you think? Do you watch Shooter? Are you sad there will be fewer episodes?
Totally enjoyed “Shooter”. Sorry that Ryan broke his leg. Best wishes and hope to see him in many series ahead. Great show.
I hope you are well Ryan, can’t wait the new episode….
Hi from Romania
Firstly , thank you for the s1,he was beautiful.I hope that Ryan will recover.
Been watching shooter here in the UK and love it. My first thoughts go out to Ryan and hope he recovers well but my second thoughts are….”why the hell won’t they show the final 2 episodes” surly they have been filmed already?
My third thought is the produces better give us 12 episodes in season 3 because I’m feeling short changed here and a little upset
Show is the best! I haven’t been that interested in a tv show in a long time. So sad fewer episodes, but, condolences to the actor and his leg.
Great show!
I like the show and have watched it even though I am with alm about the swearing. Why do they think they have to do this to make a show interesting. I guess the writer is just very versed in alternate words to substitute. If it keeps up I guess I will have to stop watching USA. I have already stopped viewing most of their show because of the swearing in the shows.
Sounds like season 3 will be followed. That is a good thing, although I would prefer if they stopped swearing some of the time, it’s redundant.
They should have finished it with first season , there is even not any script for keeping the show.
I just binge watched season 1 and have yet to start watching season 2 but yes I’m already upset, I love this show, but I hope his leg will be ok, and we have a season 3…
Marathon watching
Please bring more seasons I love it best show seen like movie with Mark Walhberg.
Just as long as there will be a Season Three of SHOOTER!
