Prodigal Son Season 3 Updates: End of investigations for Malcolm Bright. While season 2 will soon end in the United States (the date of broadcast in France on TF1 has not been revealed), Prodigal Son will not have season 3: the FOX channel which broadcasts it in the United States has announced its cancellation. A premature stop to which the actors including Tom Payne reacted with emotion.
It is the hard law of the series. While some will be back, others will have to leave our screens by surprise. While ABC announced the renewal of Grey’s Anatomy for season 18 and Station 19 for season 5, the FOX channel has decided to break the hearts of Prodigal Son fans: the series broadcast here on TF1 will have no season 3.
No Prodigal Son Season 3
PRODIGAL SON: L-R: Tom Payne and Michael Sheen in the series premiere episode of PRODIGAL SON airing Monday, Sept. 23 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. © 2019 FOX MEDIA LLC. Cr: David Giesbrecht / FOX.Season 2 which hosted Catherine Zeta-Jones will therefore be the last for Prodigal Son. In danger, the series has been canceled by the FOX channel and will therefore not be back for new episodes. A surprising ending? Not really. Broadcast on TF1 in France, the Prodigal Son series never really hit audiences for its broadcast in the United States. Season 1 was followed on average by 5.8 million viewers (including replays over 7 days) and the audiences for season 2 fell again, with the series even falling below the 2 million viewer mark towards the end of the season. The channel’s original drama series (FOX also broadcasts The Resident as well as 9-1-1and its spin-off), she was the one with the worst ratings, behind Filthy Rich and NEXT, both already canceled.
The actors react
Following this announcement, the actors of the series were quick to react to share their sadness. ” What a journey. Playing Malcolm has been a joy and a privilege. The best cast in a series and a unique show. We did it in style. My love to everyone who loved us. ” Wrote Tom Payne who confessed with an audition for The Chronicle of the Bridgertons on his Twitter account. For its part, Bellamy Young who played Jessica confided to have ” the broken heart ” at the end of the series. Keiko Agena (Edrisa) and Aurora Perrineau (Dani) also posted messages to thank the fans.
What a trip. Playing Malcolm has been a joy and a privilege. The best cast on network TV and the most unique show around. We did it in style. Love to everyone who enjoyed it all along with us. And check out the last two eps! THEY ARE AMAZING. 😘 #ProdigalSon
