There’s some bad news for fans of medical drama The Knick; the series won’t be returning for a third season later this year according to one of the show’s stars.
The Knick was a hit with the critics
Speaking to TV Line, actor Chris Sullivan was blunt in his response to questioning about whether the show had been cancelled, saying: “Yeah, I’ve heard it’s done. They were gonna try [to do season 3], but I’ve heard it’s done.”
Cinemax then made the news official, saying in a statement: “After a critically acclaimed two-season run of The Knick on Cinemax, we will not be going forward with additional episodes of the series.
“Despite our pride in and affection for the series, as well as our respect for and gratitude towards Steven Soderbergh and his team, we have decided to return Cinemax to its original primetime series fare of high-octane action dramas, many of which will be internationally co-produced.”
Though the news is certainly disappointing, the final episode of the second season does do well to serve as an overall series finale. There’s always a chance that The Knick could make its way back to the small screen in the future; it’s just that the show won’t be coming back any time soon…
