The Son has joined the never-ending list of TV shows cancelled.
AMC has opted not to renew the Pierce Brosnan drama for Season 3. The long-ago announced second season, which will bow April 24, 2019, will now be its last.
Based on Philipp Meyer’s best-selling and Pulitzer Prize finalist novel of the same name, season two of The Son concludes the journey of the iconic “First Son of Texas.” Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) will stop at nothing to secure his legacy against the backdrop of the nascent oil industry of 1917. His tools are deceit, fraud and murder — weapons he wields with the effortless skill of the Comanche warrior he once was. But the biggest challenge he faces will be quelling a civil war under his own roof, triggered by his idealistic son Pete (Henry Garrett). Eli knows the ultimate prize of American dynasty is nearly in his grasp, and time is running out. Meanwhile, in 1851, young Eli (Jacob Lofland) is now married and a respected warrior among the Comanches, but tragedy forces him into a leadership position as the vast Comanche empire crumbles around him. Broadening the scope, a 1988 timeline is introduced, bringing the McCullough saga into the more immediate past. Here, at age 85, Eli’s granddaughter Jeanne Anne McCullough (Lois Smith) is confronted with a long-buried family secret.
RIP.
I hate that this show is cancelling. It was good and I was looking forward to many more seasons.
They really need to reconsider. Great Show.
As long as it ends with closure.
I loved this show. Why do you cancel good shows????????
One of the best shows I have seen in years and they dump it .. stupid is as stupid does! Like shooting yourself in the foot
Did we even see season 2?????
Surly you have seen it advertised, Even says in the write up-The long-ago announced second season, which will bow April 24, 2019, will now be its last.
What the Hell is going on over at AMC? They seem to be canceling everything on their network actually worth watching?
And… like Beverly said….. when was season 2 on? I’ve never seen it.
Extremely disappointed. Loved this show. Every decent show gets cancelled.
Binge watched this show when I discovered it and loved it. I’m really sad to hear it’s canceled.
This sucks!!!! Really good story line!!! Blah!!!! AMC.
I watched the first season and it bored me to death. Every episode was predictable. I was surprised when I learned there would be a second season.
AMC has idiots running the place. They cancel Hell on Wheels which could have been a great show but someone screwed it up. They cancel The Son, which could be a great show, yet they leave that garbage Walking Dead on with garbage story lines. Wake up AMC. You are a joke
