Telly’s Take
Will SundanceTV cancel or renew The Name of the Rose for season two? SundanceTV has billed it as a mini-series. If they mean that in the old-fashioned sense (rather than the new “limited series” which has more to do with episode count), there shouldn’t be a second season. The series in an Italian-German production though, so the decision to continue the series or end it here will primarily be made overseas. I’ll update this page as the season progresses.
