We are reviewing all the cancelled shows on 2011 and the renewed shows on 2011… and this one, I really did not see coming.
Starz cancels Camelot in its freshman run! Wow! just wow! Cancelling Camelot is unexpected.
When we read more into it it becomes understandable, but it was certainly something that I was not expecting.
Let´s see the reason behind Starz cancelling Camelot.
First of all… why I think Starz cancelling Camelot was not expected: Camelot wrapped its first season earlier this month by drawing 1.5 million total viewers, the second-highest viewership for the series behind its two-hour premiere, which set a network record for a series bow.
Given that kind of success, the network deliberately needed to become overly respectful in its press release and did not say Starz cancels Camelot, it read they won´t excercise the option to order new seasons. Potato – potato. Starz is cancelling Camelot, however they put it.
The reasons they cite is that the show had a lot of production challenges. Namely, it was too expensive, and had scheduling conflicts with the actors and their busy careers.
Hence, Starz cancels Camelot, and we only get to see the Arthurian times in BBC´s Merlin.
What do you think about Starz cancelling Camelot? Are you surprised? Let me know in the comments section.
Also, remember to follow me on Twitter for more Cancelled and renewed shows news such as this cancellation for Camelot by Starz.
I’m boycotting Starz for this! Camelot was a flawed show yes, but a highly entertaining one! I say screw starz!
What the fuck?? Camelot had a great success! i don’t understand why was cancelled!!! It was one of the best Tv-Shows I have ever seen!!! What the hell!! Seriously, if Starz continues cancelling excellent series like Camelot, they’re over!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!
Fantastic success, avid fanbase, cancelled after a great first season. Hmm, maybe it was Merlin’s persistent procalamation that, “There is no god.” The ‘good guys’, the role models we are supposed to subconsciously desire to mimic, aren’t the typical representations. Who are the decision makers that determine if the show stays or goes? Very disappointing. I’ll think twice before taking time to watch another series from this network, since my trust and time investment is not often rewarded with the almighty END OF STORY.

This is really a shame.Camelot was a great show with a great cast, even the story was great…a little different, but great..this is a real shame.
[…] Starz cancels Camelot […]
Well it’s the best thing Starz has done. It’s the first thing I’ve watched on Starz, but I’m an educated professional, and not inclined to tune into most Starz offerings. Guess I’ll go back to my Kindle…shame though!
It is rare for a show to come along with such a strong cast and solid fanbase, then only to have it yanked out from underneath our feet after only one (and I might add successful) season.
This interpretation of the ‘Camelot’ legend is unique and fresh. As the pre-conceived notions of the ‘traditional’ story are contrived in a different manner, every episode is an adventure in itself. I am very disappointed in Starz and will be cancelling my subscription to the service.
Perhaps this would be a good time for the executives at Starz to reconsider their lofty positions and aspirations by actually ‘listening’ to the voice of their viewers…
I love story of king Arthur and I love the series who shows that .
It wont be the end .
