Does no one know that King has been axed....???


Sorry to break the news folks.....but at this point it's not coming back.....It's a shame cause I love this show.....but it does not do well in the U.S....hopefully some other network picks it up.

Um, this is a Canadian show, you know. As far as I can tell, it's never been seen in the States.

That is a real shame. I loved the characters and the way they interacted. I thought it was cancelled after series 1 (don't know where I got that idea from), so was overjoyed when it started a second series.

I felt the 2nd series was better than the first, but I guess most people saw it as "just another cop show" just like Prime suspect, Detroit 187, the chicago code so never gave it a chance.

No doubt there will be another one along soon.

Source?

As far as I know it has not been axed. Also it's a Canadian tv show.

I am an IATSE member and work in film in Toronto..and have many friends who worked on this show and actually worked on a couple of episodes myself...so I have it on good authority that it's not coming back...the show is also starting to sell of some props and equipment.....and by US numbers I meant that it has been tested down there...

Sorry to hear this. I live in the US, but a friend of mine from Calgary turned me on to this show and I really enjoyed it.

Gutted as I only discovered this show the other day and been hooked ever since! Had some pretty good things going for it, the cast in the second season really picked things up. Don't forget some fab oneliners. Just annoys me that yet again the UK cable channels advertise a US show as brand new and exclusive just weeks after its been canned in the states.
Keeping my fingers crossed another station relises how popular it is, especially outside of the states, pick it up and run with it.
