Don’t expect season two of BBC America‘s Thirteen TV show. The drama thriller, which premiered in the US on June 23rd will come to a close after its first season and TV series finale episode, airing in July. In UK, the finale aired back in March. At that time, creator Marnie Dickens told Radio Times that Thirteen was conceived as a mini-series which tells a complete story. So while Thirteen has not been cancelled in the traditional sense, it will not be renewed for a second season.
This five-party mystery thriller follows Ivy Moxham (Jodie Comer) on the day she escapes the cellar where she has been held prisoner for the last 13 years — half her life. The Thirteen TV series cast also includes Aneurin Barnard, Richard Rankin, Valene Kane, Natasha Little, Stuart Graham, Katherine Rose Morley, Joe Layton, Eleanor Wyld, Chipo Chung, Nicholas Farrell, Kemi-Bo Jacobs, and Ariyon Bakare.
Here is more, from Radio Times:
[Dickens said:] “I did imagine this as a very finite story in terms of Ivy’s story and her family because hopefully, as you watch it all, by episode five it pays off.
“But of course when you spend all your time with those characters and you are lucky to get incredible people like Jodie involved you do feel it would be nice to go back and write more.”
But when pressed whether she was likely to pen a second series she said: “I don’t think I will, no. All I want is that people watch and enjoy series one, that’s enough for me.”
What do you think? Did you watch the Thirteen TV series premiere? Do you wish there would be more seasons of the drama?
I came across it randomly after liking Comer’ character in Free Guy. so sad it had to end but something these things happen. If they made a second with a different writer I don’t think it would be as well written as the 1st season. I hope to see more projects from Jodie Comer as I think she can give an incredible performance like in Thirteen.
if they did do a part 2 of it i would love to act in it! it seems so fun especially how good the first one is.
I absolutely loved that show…I’m sad they didn’t continue the series. One of the best and they stop producing it…ugggh
There were many unanswered questions at the end of season 1. We need a second season!
This show is amazing! I am an avid tele watcher and this show gets an A+. The only other shows I’ve given this rating are: Homeland, Dexter and The Man in the High Castle. It would be awesome for this show to make a comeback. Please!
Well that blows, 5 episodes and we will never find out the end??? What’s the point of airing it? SMH
I really enjoyed this from the beginning! Shows like this should actually go on to tell of how she goes on to hopefully heal and start to really live and enjoy her newly found life!
So mad i just got into this show and only 5 episodes and no season 2. Bring it back please…
I am so disappointed.. Came back from vacation and no more Thirteen … Not even on demand!!!
Please continue! I feel there is so much more to Ivy and we are left hanging.
I have been trying to find out the artists name who sings the songs on the show. I love her voice and want to know more about her
Sad there won’t be more, I think there’s more to miss Ivy…
Really, you have got to be kidding me. You can not end it like that. It was a great program. Hooked from the first episode. Its just plain wrong not to make a season 2
