It’s official – Starz has cancelled Flesh and Bone after one season.
Flesh and Bone was essentially cancelled months ago when Starz altered the show’s ongoing format, now its ‘one-and-done’ fate has been confirmed by co-star Sascha Radetsky.
Speaking to TVLine, the actress said that while she would be interested in returning for Season 2, it’s not “even a remote possibility”:
Yeah. [But] I don’t think it’s even a remote possibility that it’s going to happen. I think everyone’s really thrilled with it as a standalone season and have moved on, so…
RIP.
Dorothy Soto Rodriguez says
I loved the show I really wanted to see more!
areana says
Yes me too. Maybe Netflix will pick it up
Theresa Adams says
Starz sucks if they cancel Flesh and Bone!! It was awesome !! Assholes, think I’ll cancel they!!!!
Margaret says
Sascha is a male actor. He is not a she.
Aimee says
Please bring it back!
HA! says
Probably conflicts a bit with Starz’s upcoming “The Girlfriend Experience” series… and had it continued, the storylines may have started overlapping to a degree.
PL says
I hate it when these networks introduce a show, especially a good one, then they cancel because of some stupid critics or other unknown reasons. I hope Netflix looks into this and picks up the show. I would’ve like to see more..
Jc says
I agree! It’s such a disappointment, loved the show.
Jefferson says
Yes, Yes. Too bad we have to wonder about Claire’s motives and what Romeo had in “mind”.
Gia says
I really enjoyed this show. I agree, Netflix needs to pick it up.
Cheri says
Yes please! I loved it and I want more!!!
Nan says
Good. I barely made it through the first episode.
Vk13 says
I haven’t been this excited for a new series in a such a long time and it’s cancelled? What a shame…
Margie says
It’s just like the Soprano’s………gets you hooked, and then lets you fall flat. I hate that. Maybe we all should stop watching mini-series on Starz, Shoetime, HBO, etc. because they’ll disappoint us every time.
Arseni Baranov says
I pray for season 2
Jan Cooper-Webb says
Finally were given a show with excellent talent and ongoing storyline only to be stopped cold. There is so much more to be told! Please do Season 2!
Jennifer Meade says
I know it was cancelled and taht you may not be receiving a lot of feed back about it. I work for a major cable company and so many people have been turned onto Flesh and Bone and sitting on the edge of their seats wanting more. Why is it cancelled? People are wanting MORE MORE MORE I hear it everytime I mention no seasonPLEASE BRING BACK!!!!!
Mary says
Maybe they’re right, ’cause the first season was so perfect and sometimes it’s better not to continue, so you cannot spoil it. But I’d like to see more. And there were some lines left in the plot that could be developed. But if it won’t be back, just let it stay perfect for me and lots of other fans, for it’s a real masterpiece.
marilynne J says
What a fantastic and hauntingly beautiful show – WHY WHY WHY was it cancelled? I am shocked!!
Fan says
I have never watched Starrz in my life. I discovered Flesh and Bone, binged watched and I am hooked. PLEAse Please bring this show back.
Olivia says
I can’t believe they’re not doing a second season!! I waited so long for this show and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time – SOOOOOOO GUTTED 🙁
Jefferson says
A remarkably beautiful program. Too bad the back story will not be revealed in greater detail.
sharon duarte says
Netflix needs to pick up this show and dance with it!! Amazing show has huge potential!
bardgal says
I am beyond disappointed! I just powered through this, and I’m IN – please Netflix, SOMEONE, pick this up! There’s so much more story to tell, and so many talented people to watch.
It’s The Turning Point, Svengali, and The Fisher King all mixed together with a soupçon of the Lannister siblings watching Flashdance on repeat as the icing on the cake.
sassy says
I really wanted to like this show and to some degree I did like it, but honestly it was just a hot mess. The show just could not seem to decide what it wanted to be. If it had been a bit more focused, I think it would have worked much better. As it is it just spins around going nowhere for long periods of time.
Do you want to do a ballet story, a strip club story, a Russian mob story, the gay story, the incest story, the aging star story, the young rising star story, the white slavery story, the I’ll sleep my way to the top story, the eating disorder story. This thing had everything, but the kitchen sink in it. I liked the character of Claire, but the catatonic, walking around in a daze Claire got really old and it just ended up dragging. Then when she initiated the sex scene at the Thanksgiving with the Family, she was just ruined for me. There are parts of the story that are excellent, but unfortunately they get lost in the unnecessary crap. This hodge-podge of a story is the only thing more schizophrenic than the Romeo character.
I am sorry that the story ended because the dancing was beautiful, and if they had stuck more with stories of the ballet company and its employees and dancers it would have worked much better. I am not at all surprised that it was canceled because it just could not edit itself. When it worked it was great, but unfortunately it was like they just could not control themselves and tried to have too much.
Dany says
I am a fan of the show, but not a fan of Claire and she’s spent the whole season being a deer in headlights. I thought there would have been some type of progression for her. You’re absolutely right – there are WAYYYY too many stories going on at one time and in the midst of all that, we’re still supposed to keep up with poor little Claire and her un-sorted feelings.
Sam says
Maybe it was “too much”, about the brother-sister relationship… In one season it has been wonderful, delicate, and has a quite good ending, but a second season developing more about ballet industry, dancers etc.. I would like that 🙂
Helen says
I loved this show. The dancing was so beautiful to warpath. Please bring it back.
Deb says
Bring this back – !!!
Trish says
I can’t believe they are not renewing. I absolutely fell in love with Clair. She was so complicated and real. Please bring it back!!!!!!
Emily says
I fell in love with this season. Some of the story line with Claire and Romeo I got a little lost in and at first I thought Claire was screwed up because her brother raped her but then finding out that they had this incestual relationship with produced a baby was just utterly mind blowing. I get that she was molested by her father and verbally abused but the deer in the headlights act did get old after a while. I was hoping that she would snap and become this bold bossy confident bitch. I hope they bring it back for one more season. They left the story hanging for me….
Red says
Please bring. It back
I loved the show!!!!
TRISKELION says
This network sucks – this is the second series I have loved and these assholes pulled the rug out after one season. Flesh and Bone was excellent; but I’ve learned my lesson. I will not begin any more Starz series until there is confirmation of its renewal. What boneheads.
Kristy says
This story has so much more to tell. I wasn’t sure at first but now I too am totally HOOKED! Executives & Critics get off your @sses & realize that many, many of us are yearning for something haunting & beautiful like ‘Flesh and Bone’. If I have to watch another self-serving “reality” show, a forensic who-dun-it or its ilk, I’m going to vomit. Bring this back. Renew my faith in humanity, lol.
Bonnie says
Great show – loved that it was so complicated- real- the dancing was exquisite- bring it back for a second season!!
Foxme says
Awesome show! Supposed brill minds don’t know what’S good or not! There was more to tell…a season 2 would have been appropriate. Very disappointed..OK then back to Showtime series.
Susan says
I am also disappointed. It really did not seem like an ending. It reminded me of the way a fourth grader would write an ending he died the end! I really felt the audience was left hanging. This show needs a second season.
Anna Grebot says
I am so disappointed with the cancellation of this series.
What’s wrong with these people?????
Don’t we, the public, get to decide?
Pamela says
One of the best series of all times! Very realistic with a diversify people Lets at least have season two .
Debra Birgeneau says
Why not a second season???? I absolutely LOVED this series! I’m so upset, because I love the beautiful theme of ballet dance. Of course there is a very dark side too..but I loved Claire’s character! Please bring it back HBO!!!
