On 750,000 viewers. That is surprising.

‘Vinyl’ Canceled: HBO Scraps Plans For Revamped Season 2

HBO has changed course on Vinyl. The 1970s rock n roll drama had been renewed for a second season with a new showrunner, Scott Z. Burns, replacing co-creator, executive producer and showrunner Terence Winter. Now the premium cable network has decided not to go with Season 2 of the series, executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger.

“After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of Vinyl,” HBO said in a statement. “Obviously, this was not an easy decision. We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project.

It was fantastically acted and shot but pretty derivative overall. I quite enjoyed it by the end of the season but it wasn't anything special.

It had poor ratings and almost no critical buzz or awards potential and considering how much it cost, makes sense for HBO to bail on it.

It was a quality production but narratively felt pretty flat overall. Nothing really went anywhere and I can see how it didn't hook people.

Betcha they cut it after the new contracts for Game of Thrones ate all the budget

Yep, felt the same. Great cast but ultimately didn't know what it wanted to be. Definitely worth a watch and disappointed not to see where they would take the second series.

I'm only up to about episode 4. Does this end on a cliff hanger? Might not watch the rest if so, unless we see more of Olivia's parts.

Yes?

It does end on a somewhat cliff hanger and I believe you see ALOT more Olivia's parts.

Olivia :wub:

Just finished this. Shame it didn't get the audience figures needed for renewal as overall, thought this was enjoyable.

Yes?
