Fans of AMC’s The Son series have been waiting since the first season’s finale (which aired in June 2017) for the return of the Western drama. We’ve now learned that season two will begin airing on Saturday, April 27th, at 9 PM. There will be 10 episodes once again and, it turns out, those will also be the end of the show. There won’t be a third season.
Here’s the relevant portion of AMC’s press announcement about The Son:
The Son
Saturday, April 27 at 9:00 p.m. ET/8:00 p.m. CT
Based on Philipp Meyer’s New York Times best-selling and Pulitzer Prize finalist novel of the same name, season two of The Son concludes the journey of the iconic “First Son of Texas.” Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) will stop at nothing to secure his legacy against the backdrop of the nascent oil industry of 1917. His tools are deceit, fraud and murder — weapons he wields with the effortless skill of the Comanche warrior he once was.But the biggest challenge he faces will be quelling a civil war under his own roof, triggered by his idealistic son Pete (Henry Garrett). Eli knows the ultimate prize of American dynasty is nearly in his grasp, and time is running out. Meanwhile, in 1851, young Eli (Jacob Lofland) is now married and a respected warrior among the Comanches, but tragedy forces him into a leadership position as the vast Comanche empire crumbles around him. Broadening the scope, a 1988 timeline is introduced, bringing the McCullough saga into the more immediate past. Here, at age 85, Eli’s granddaughter Jeanne Anne McCullough (Lois Smith) is confronted with a long-buried family secret.
The Son is produced by AMC Studios and Sonar Entertainment. Showrunner and writer Kevin Murphy, director Kevin Dowling, author Philipp Meyer, and Sonar Entertainment’s Tom Lesinski and Jenna Santoianni are Executive Producers. In addition to Brosnan, Smith, Garrett and Lofland, the series also stars Paola Núñez, Zahn McClarnon, Jess Weixler, David Wilson Barnes, Sydney Lucas, James Parks, Elizabeth Frances, Shane Graham and Kathryn Prescott.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to watching the second season of The Son TV show on AMC? Are you sorry that there won’t be a third season?
A very good series and NO SEASON 3!!!!! That sucks!!!!
I loved this series. Unfortunately, I cannot find the first season and only saw the second. What is the reason for not having a 3rd season, were the actors not interested? It is very disappointing and hope whover is in charges changes his/her mind.
I am extremely disappointed there won’t be a season 3. Could you tell us why, were the actors no longer interested? Unfortunately, I didn’t see season one and am trying to find it, but I loved the second season.
This was a wonderful series and I loved the way the story went back and forth in time to show how Eli McCullough’s (Pierce Brosnan) character evolved. We are still hopeful that this will be picked up by another network.
Best show we’ve seen in years did not want it to end !!
VERY GOOD Series I am very sad they canceled this and there won’t be a series 3. My whole family loved this show!
EVERYONE doesn’t use email but EVERYONE DOES want to see season 3!!!
It’s not too late!! Season 2 was 2 years after season one. So spring/summer 2021 would be perfect for season 3 . Surely the actors are eager to get back to work too!
I really really want a season 3 please. I have been telling everyone about this show and they have been watching seasons 1 and 2. We need season 3.
Please give us season 3. Liked this show very much!
Sorry season 3 cancelled. Liked the show very much
Loved the series and sorry no third Really enjoyed the acting.
Although season two ended with what could have been the final show, there is still a lot of history that could be brought to light in a third season. There’s a gap between the generations that could be filled
Hi, we loved the series! Finish the story please!
I hate that they cancelled the son series
Me too
It’s a big mistake canceling the Son. It truly was excellent entertainment. BIG MISTAKE.
Another atrocious big mistake cancelling THE SON! Who makes decisions like that????
Seriously! I’m so disappointed! If you are going to end a series before the whole story is told why produce it in the first place! I hate being left hanging… Oh well, onto the next series I guess!
