canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

The Riches: FX Officially Cancels Drama, No Season Three

by Trevor Kimball, October 8, 2008

IMAGEAfter months of speculation, FX has finally put rumors of The Riches’ cancellation to rest. The show is over.

The Riches debuted on March 12, 2007 on FX. The TV series follows a pair of Irish con artists and their children who assume the identities of a wealthy family who has died in a car crash. The show stars Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver in the roles of Wayne and Dahlia Malloy.

The series debuted to 3.8 million viewers and 1.9 rating/5 share in the desirable demographic. The numbers fell during the 13 episode season but FX still renewed it for a second year. The numbers fell significantly in season two and The Riches lost almost 50% of its 18-49 viewers.

For those that did watch, they only got to see a shortened season because of the writers strike. Only seven of the 13 planned episodes were produced and ended with storylines unresolved. It was hoped that the remaining six would be added to the order for season three but that won’t happen now.

Would you pay to see Riches wrapped up?

Though the season two ratings didn’t warrant a renewal, FX was hesitant to cancel the series. Riches was a hit with critics and Driver received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Ultimately, as is usually the case, it came down to economics and resources. Things weren’t likely helped by the fact that neither Izzard or Driver were available to return to production any time soon. Izzard is booked for two movies and has a busy stand up schedule that keeps him touring. Driver recently gave birth to her first child.

After months of waiting, actor Todd Stashwick (Dahlia’s cousin Dale on the series) broke the cancellation news to fans on Thursday. The network made the official announcement a few days later.

In a perfect world, a final episode or movie would be filmed to wrap up the series’ cliffhanger. Based on the show’s ratings, that seems unlikely to happen. Stay tuned! TV Series Finale home page

Why in their right mind would HULU put the 2 series on with knowing there was no ending?? I’m super upset.

This is why I rarely watch a continuing series type of show. Now its cancelled with no ending. I detest this sort of thing. This show was great and very enjoyable.

Unbelievable! This show was mesmerizing and to be left without closure is devastating. I hope Netflix will do the right thing for their subscribers and pick up the series finale.

I watched the series when it originally screened in ’07 & ’08; loved it. Introduced it to my wife on Netflix 12/16; she loves it. She is angered that she may never know the outcome. Netflix, just as you rescued LONGMIRE please save and continue The Riches. I don’t like when my wife is angry with me. Thank you.

This is why I hate TV anymore… I’m at the mercy of what “everyone else” is watching. I loved this series so much, it hurts to know it’s definitely over. Like, way over apparently…

Netflix or someone please pick up this series & at least give us an ending. Great storyline, nothing else like it on TV, great actors who received Emmy & Golden Globe nominations…what more do you need! I’m so tired of really good shows getting cancelled & nothing but stupid reality shows left to watch. Not everyone likes that crap, so please give those of us who don’t, something decent & fun to watch!! Please!!!!!
