E! has overthrown the monarchy. Deadline reports the network has cancelled The Royals after four seasons.
The scripted drama centers on a fictional British royal family in modern-day London. The cast includes Elizabeth Hurley, William Moseley, Alexandra Park, Jake Maskall, Tom Austen, Genevieve Gaunt, and Max Brown.
Although E! has cancelled The Royals, there is still hope for a fifth season. According to Deadline, the show’s producing studio, Lionsgate TV, is shopping the series around to other outlets.
From E!:
E! will not be moving forward with another season of The Royals, which launched in 2015 as the network’s first original scripted series. Over four seasons, The Royals took viewers behind the palace gates on a scandalous journey filled with twists and turns. We are grateful to the cast and our producing partners at Lionsgate and Universal Cable Productions.”
What do you think? Have you seen The Royals? Would you watch another season?
Love the show!! The show is a drama, comedy and even sad sometimes. I think it is one of the best shows on TV! There isn’t a lot of good shows on right now. It would be such a loss to end this show. Please!! Someone pick up this show!!
Are ratings down simply due to cable TV subscriptions being down? Does E! have an app to be viewed without cable? I had to rewatch this awesome show on Amazon Prime, what about others? It would be a disservice to permanently cancel this series. A disservice to the people who gave 4 years of their lives and people who made this show great; actors, writers, and everyone behind the scenes! “Royals, you have great fans in the U.S.; we hope to see you all back soon!!”
What a great show – they blame ratings viewers but never themselves. They moved the show around various days and time slots to where it couldnt be found on E! Hope another outlet picks it up and promotes the heck out of it.
Sexy cast, great and somewhat funny storylines – much better than the other stupid things on E! Recommending to DirectTV they drop the channel. This would be a great pairing for Netflix to air along with the Lucifer reboot !
