Showtime Officially Cancels 'The Borgias'


Recommended Posts

It?s official: The Borgias? Season 3 finale on June 16 will now function as a series finale.

Showtime on Wednesday cancelled the Jerry Irons-fronted period drama, and also scrapped plans for a two-hour wrap-up movie.

?When they looked at what it could cost, it was just too expensive,? series creator Neil Jordan told Deadline. ?I would have loved to bring all the characters to a conclusion. All of the actors were heartbroken we couldn?t continue, and so was I.?

Had the telepic been given a green light, viewers would have been treated to what Jordan calls a ?totally biblical ending? featuring ?the Pope dying and no one willing to hear his confession. When they finally find a confessor and the Pope starts to repent his sins, the confessor interrupts him, saying, ?I?m sorry, it?s too late, you?re already dead and burning in hell.??
