Vicious has been cancelled by ITV. There will not be a third season of the series. There was speculation earlier this week that the show was being cancelled.
A previous TV Series Finale report talked about the possibility of a cancellation when news of a special for the series was announced.
The Sun has now reported that the one-off special will make the end of the series. A spokesperson for ITC said the following about the end of the series:
“It’s been an absolute delight to see Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Frances de la Tour bring alive these wonderful characters on screen for ITV viewers. We’re over the moon all the cast are returning for one final special.”
Are you sad to hear about the cancellation of Vicious? Tell us what you think.
What a wonderful series. What could possibly be the reason to cancel. I hope someone else picks up the rights and continues with it. Toronto. Canada
This is horrible news! The series is/was so refreshing. Thank goodness I recorded all episodes since I play them endlessly. Very sad, indeed!
Will miss this show a lot, always looked forward to the laughs.
This sucks. Great show.
Why was is canceled? It was an adult comedy and it made me smile and laugh. Please give it another chance.
Hate to see the show canceled. Such funny and interesting characters working together for some genuine laughs. Was so looking forward another season. It is my hope there will come a change of mind and season 3 will debut!
Sad to hear this news! It was a tremendous joy seeing such a fine ensemble of actors working together flawlessly. The writing SO much better than most TV shows today. Being in the entertainment field, it so saddens me when “critics” reviews kill good shows. Vicious was truly a fine show, far better than most. My only hope is that another network will pick it up and continue it..
Sad to hear about season 3, my family and I have enjoyed watching season 1 and 2. We have not seen a show like this is years, perhaps more than a decade and the cast, just amazing, funny, wit, and down right devilish 🙂 Thank you PBS and UK for a great show, I do wish season 3 would come as I don’t see a problem with it and many people enjoyed it. We will continue to watch season 1 and 2. Cheers to the cast and the crew that made this show great.
This is so upsetting. I haven’t seen a truly funny British comedy since Little Britain. Vicious was a hilarious show and a true ensemble effort. I was such a delight to see the actors in comedic roles compared to what several of them normally play, esp Iwan. Boy, is he a terror on Game of Thrones! 🙂
I feel gipped because there were only two seasons, but at least they were well done and I can buy them. 🙂 I loved the principal actors and Marcia Warren. She was such a delight!
P.S. Killer show music…love disco!
Oh yes please lets have more reality TV, not! In Vicious the writing and performances were on the mark consistently throughout the season and we were left hungry for more at seasons end. I may be cynical here but perhaps the popularity of a gay couple comedy was just too much for the establishment to cope with. Oh go on take a powder and have good lie down – you’ll feel so much better when the ****** are off the air.
The cancellation of Vicious by ITV is no surprise. Today it’s all about $$$, and big ratings- but not well-scripted programs that dare to be different and really funny. There are plenty of other TV/Cable networks where Vicious would do well with ratings and viewership geared for this type of programming. Hopefully one of them will take it on, or create a spin-off. A Big ‘Thank You’ from California to a Super Talented Cast: “Freddie, Stuart, Violet, Ash, Penelope, and Mason” 🙂
I’m sad to see third season of Vicious cancelled. What a “BIG” disappointment, I think the show is brilliant, funny , love all the characters. I live in Los Angeles and have many friends and family watching. I always question why do they always cancel the good programs and keep the rubbish T.V. shows. Sad to see it leave.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I absolutely loved this series. Im extremely upset to see it cancelled. Oh well, life goes on I guess…
sad news, damn ratings!
OH TO BAD. NOW WHAT IS TO BECOME OF POOR ASH? HE WILL RETURN TO HIS DARK SIDE ON THE GAME OF THRONES! He is great there also! Speaking of the dark side BRING BACK DEXTER!!
