katikatSo, Starz canceled Spartacus. Its next season, Spartacus: War of the Damned will be its last: link.
*sigh* Well, that's just great, really! Steven DeKnight wanted to do 5 to 7 seasons, instead they can them once they start filming and the scripts are at least halfway done already. And after all the hoopla with Kirk Douglas last week.
I'm really disappointed. First they cut the show from 13 eps to 10 and now they canned it completely. Why? Just... WHY? It's not like Starz has some other hit on their hands, it's the only show that's even keeping them on the radar, drawing 0.7 demo week after week! Every other series they air is below 0.5...
Bummer! :(
ETA: And according to this article - link - this was DeKnight's own decision? Now I just don't understand the world... *hands*
