Roadies‘ bags were already packed for the cancellation graveyard, but now it’s ‘official’. As we reported last summer, Showtime has axed the Cameron Crowe series after one season.
The premium cable network will not continue the music drama into Season 2, RenewCancelTV has confirmed.
In a statement, Crowe lamented the show’s demise but thanked those involved and the fans for their support:
Thanks to Showtime and J.J. Abrams for the opportunity to make the one and only season of “Roadies.” My mind is still spinning from the giddy highs of working with this epic cast and crew. Though we could tell a thousand more stories, this run ends with a complete ten-hour tale of music and love. Like a song that slips under your skin, or a lyric that keeps speaking to you, we hope the spell of “Roadies” lingers. It was life-changing experience for all of us.
So much appreciation goes out to the sensational actors and crew who lived and breathed these stories and characters with their whole hearts. We became a family, our own music-loving troupe. Thanks also to the musicians who lived so comfortably in the world of acting. And thanks to all at Bad Robot, and Winnie Holzman, great collaborators all. Big thanks to our fans for watching and cheering us on. We’ll see you soon with a new project… and many of the same actors, I’m sure. Here’s a little glimpse of the last night of filming. This is what every day felt like.
See which other Showtime series are cancelled or renewed for the new 2016-17 season with our handy Scorecard.
RIP.

Another great show bites the dust…
I hope a streaming service pics up Roadies. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching it this season.

Great show?? BULL!!! This was drab and uninspired. There was NOTHING of merit to it whatsoever. Throwing in a few musical guests isn’t enough to carry a show. The first episode was good… and I’m guessing THAT is what Showtime bought.. the other 9 episodes were really, really, really, bland for the premise. This was just pretentious junk.

As a music lover I was so excited to
Watch a show that’s about being behind the story of a band on the road.
I’m soooo disappointed it’s been cancelled, I hope Netflix or anyone will renew it.

I’m very disappointed to hear of the cancellation. I loved it. The characters had such conviction. I was looking forward to next season. All the actors were wonderful.
I hope they reconsider. I am on a few shit lists with friends. I got them to watch it and now they are pretty mad that it is cancelled.

A pity… as usual the real good shows are always out & dead… just like in real music as long as anyone who wears a thong a twerks is in… such is the state of the “millennium” age!!! 6 sec vines and all well we were just lucky a full season…
