The King has left the castle. TLC has cancelled Suddenly Royal after one season, Manx.net reports.
The docu-series chronicled David Drew Howe, an American auto repair advisor who discovered he was heir to the throne of the British Isle of Man.
In a video interview with Manx, Howe confirmed the series was not renewed for a second season, saying:
I mean, I’m not sure really where we would’ve gone with a second series. It’s kind of like the relatives that come over and stay a little too long. You’re happy to see them initially, but when you get into the second week, you’re thinking, ‘Okay, maybe it’s time for them to go.'”

What do you think? Did you watch Suddenly Royal? Would you have watched a second season?
I would enjoy a second season. Wonderful people at the land of the Manx !
I loved the show, I thought it was refreshing and had great potential. I was looking forward to a new season just to be disappointed. Totally lovable family.
I loved the show, too. I wondered what happened – did the family stay on the Isle of Mann or return to America? How did they end up fitting into the community? I would haved loved to see a follow up even if they didn’t do another whole season.
I really loved the show. The comedy was great. Please bring it back for at least another season.
Bring it back. People want to see that good things do happen. I love this show.
I would have loved to see a season 2. I mean just to see if they could win over the hearts of the people.
Plus seeing the transition of this normal family into royalty is great. It makes you wonder if this happened to me, what would I do???
I loved this show! The family is wonderful, the show entertaining. Please bring it back!!
I watched the first season, and enjoyed the trials and errors of proving ones self and changing lifestyle from commoner to Royal.
I would watch second season if it had been aired.
I fully understand relatives visiting, then staying way beyond a visit.
I made it apparent, if they visit, they need a round trip ticket home upon arrival, and know their stay is limited.
You’ll know where your true family lies, when they leave honestly. And not look for handouts because of your status.
Blessings to your family.
Oh I am very sorry that there will not be a season 2. The family was so refreshing to watch.They were really funny and endearing, and having been aloud to share in there royal journey was an honour. I wish them all the best and all the happiness in the world!
I really enjoyed this show! Not only was it pretty cool to find out he was royalty but Drew was funny too! The whole family was great! There was a lot of love shared in that family and it was a joy to watch in so many ways. I’m really sad that it won’t be on again. Seems like every time I find a show I like it gets canceled. Am I picking corny and really bad shows or what? I got on here to see when it would be back on again and I’m sad to see that this… Read more »
I loved this show because of the Howe family’s love and dedication to one another. I will miss them.
My husband and I loved this show. So sad to hear it will not be renewed. I have been watching to see it return. Who makes these decisions? Obviously another mistake. I thought the show was so funny and a departure from the trash mostly on TV these days.
Loved the show, the family and the concept. Really disappointed it’s not coming back. I’d love to know if the Howes have increased tourism. Made me want to explore the Isle of Mann! I would definitely watch more episodes.
I loved Suddenly Riyal. I think the husband and wife and daughter were so endearing. What fun to go off to another country and start a new life. It was so different than all the same premises on tv. Please give this show another season!
Out of all of the current reality shows, I really liked the premise of it. Loved how they took the risk & tried to get to know the town & his heritage. Would be nice to hear how they are doing.
I loved this show and am very sorry it is not coming back. How do we follow this family???
I definately would have continued watching”suddenly royal”.
how neat to find out that you’re a king!!
I loved their personalities. the wife was awesome!
he was funny!
two thumbs up!
