Kingdom has hit the cancellation mat after three seasons, but star Frank Grillo would have “loved” to continue the AT&T martial arts series into Season 4, per EW:
“Selfishly, I would’ve loved to come back, but I think as far as the crescendo, the last scene with Alvey just sitting against a wall, if you were going to write an ending to a show, that’s kind of a cool ending,” he says.
Of course, that last shot is the culmination of everything that’s happened to Alvey since the moment his son told him he was gay. “It’s interesting because Frank the actor has known the character’s been gay the whole time, so I couldn’t wait for the audience to see him find out,” Grillo says. “I’m glad that we got a chance at least to let the audience know that Alvey now knows that he’s gay.” […]
And then there’s the Jay-Alvey hug. “These are two men who are searching for something in their lives,” Grillo says. “Jonathan’s such a great actor; he’s so amazing. It would’ve been cool to explore not the fight world but the family world.” However, as much as he would’ve liked to continue telling this story, Grillo believes this is “actually the perfect finale for a TV show.”
Do you want more Kingdom? Happy with the series finale? Glad the show is cancelled?
