LOS ANGELES, CA (June 5th, 2013) – The epic saga of The Borgias, a complex, unvarnished portrait of one of history’s most infamous dynastic families, is created by Academy Award®-winner and Emmy® nominee Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire). The series will conclude with its final episode on Sunday, June 16th at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME. This expansive drama series stars Oscar® winner Jeremy Irons in his Golden Globe®-nominated role as Pope Alexander VI, the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the infamous Borgia dynasty, who builds an empire by bribing, buying and muscling his way into the papacy. The Borgias cast also includes François Arnaud, Holliday Grainger, Joanne Whalley, Lotte Verbeek, Sean Harris, Thure Lindhart, Gina McKee, Peter Sullivan, Julian Bleach and Colm Feore.
"It has been an honor to work with the great Neil Jordan and the incomparable Jeremy Irons on The Borgias," said David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. "Neil has written nearly every episode of this series himself. His extraordinary storytelling combined with Jeremy's fascinating portrayal of the infamous Pope Alexander VI, has made for truly outstanding television that will live on. I look forward to future collaborations."
“I never thought I would make a cable series and have enjoyed every minute of it,” said series creator and executive producer Jordan. “For a variety of reasons we won’t be doing a fourth season, but, ‘The Prince’ [the final episode], when I wrote it and shot it, did seem like the end of a journey for the family. Whatever bonded them as a family dies in this episode, and the center of the drama for me was always the family. I want to thank SHOWTIME and David Nevins for their unstinting support over the last three years, and look forward to working with them in the future.“

Ugh. NOOOOO
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell? I was hoping, AT LEAST, for a fourth and final season, dammit. Now...a 2 hour movie maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhat, wow. So no movie conclusion either?!
ReplyDeleteI hate showtime! :/:/:/ seriously not even a movie :/:/:/
ReplyDeleteHeh...always lurking...*burp* Going back to sleep now.
ReplyDeleteOh, no :( The Borgias was an awesome show!
ReplyDeleteEh. I liked The Borgias well enough but it's not a show that I'll mourn the loss of either. I only hope that we'll still see more of François Arnaud and Holliday Grainger on other TV programs in the future.
ReplyDeleteHow about no. This is just so sad. I just started watching this show and I love it and now it's cancelled. I say Showtime should have just got a different writer and continued. The fans want a real ending!
ReplyDeleteNot surprised. The show was a big let-down after The Tudors.
ReplyDeletewell I guess I can stop watching showtime now, after Dexter goes off the air. FUCKING IDIOTS!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope they get a two hour movie to get a proper ending. I'm so tired of good shows getting canceled and never getting a chance to wrap up things.
ReplyDeletevote to get the show a proper conclusion

So sad. And for me, who never really watch history drama, this was a bummer. Hope they bring it back. Or at least wrap it up somehow.
