It looks like it’s the end of the line for courier Frank Martin. Transporter: The Series, which aired for two seasons on TNT, has been cancelled and won’t be returning for a third season.
Based on the feature film series, Transporter is an action-adventure TV show which follows Frank Martin (Chris Vance) — a professional “transporter.” He’s paid to pick up and deliver people or cargo from anywhere in the world. The rest of the cast has included François Berléand, Violante Placido, Andrea Osvárt, Charly Hübner, and Delphine Chanéac.
An international series, Transporter aired for two seasons and 24 episodes between October 2014 and February 2015. Airing on Saturday nights, the action series did poorly on TNT in its first season and the numbers were lower in season two.
There’s been no word on the show’s fate in nearly a year. In a recent interview, executive producer Frank Spotnitz said, “I don’t think it’s going to come back, sadly… It did really well in Canada, but I think in France it was shown immediately after the Charlie Hebdo shootings — I don’t think anybody was watching drama, so it was bad timing unfortunately.”
Though he’s been busy with new projects like The Man in the High Castle, Spotnitz love for the series to return someday, saying, “Everything, I do, I have to love it — I can’t fake it! So yeah, I would.”
What do you think? Are you sorry that Transporter: The Series hasn’t been renewed for a third season? Would you like to see it return some day?
Why oh why does this always happen they get you hooked then dump the show. It makes my blood boil!!!!!
Please a season 3 … the end of season 2 was incomplète… this can’t be the end like that….
I thought it was great. Would love to see it come back
I wish it had been given a chance on the third season. There was a lot of popular shows airing and it seeed to be a gamble on which to cut
It should come for season 3 because how it ended
It should be noted by executives that with drastic supporting cast changes and a poor time slot (not everyone has DVR) that some interesting and likeable shows may not appear to do well. Also, the role of “the transporter” may have needed so gentle broadening, as variety in story circumstance was just beginning to wane, but the acting was quite good and the characters, Frank, Carla, the charming and adorable french policeman and the young male “tech nerd” were all terrific. The finale was disturbing as Frank would have thought of a way to out drive and out smart his… Read more »
It was a good action packed series and inconceivable why it did not have a good following, I would love for it to come back and finish off where season 2 ended, such a shame to end it that way.
It should come back because how it end on season 2
Keeping my fingers crossed that sooner or later they will bring it back. I loved this series and Chris Vance in the starring role.
Aw Man! Just watched season 1 on Netflix, starting season 2 now…Hoped for a 3rd season…disappointed! Not the greatest acting, but decent & exciting episodes. Definitely a different Frank Martin than the movies…he tried playing the string silent type, but Jason Statham is a master at that role. Still pretty good & hope they try a 3rd season down the road.
I just watched both seasons on Netflix
I really like it as well, if they aired in bad spot they should try another day an time, the first year was excellent, the second was good, missed the lady he had in office..they should do a third season and put it in the right time spot, it should do well…
I wish it wasn’t cancelled.
Loved to see Transporter have alot more Seasons great races,great fights loved the Star . Bring him back. PLEASE .
I loved this Show. I agree with all the comments from everyone.Please bring it back.
