Taboo will end after Season 3, creator Steven Knight has confirmed.
Speaking to Huff Post UK, Knight revealed that the FX/BBC period drama will not extend to Season 4, noting that there’s only three seasons of story:
“I can feel the three acts. The first was ‘the escape’. The second will be ‘the journey’ and the third will be ‘the arrival’, and that’ll be it. I don’t think the story will be what viewers are expecting, but hopefully they’ll enjoy it.”
Taboo Season 2 is slated to release early 2018, with Season 3 (renewal permitting) concluding the series on its ‘own terms’ in 2019.
Are you happy with the plan for Taboo? Should the series not be limited to three seasons? Hoping plans change?
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the survival process of Taboo…
Di Inscoe says
No!! Three seasons aren’t enough!!!!!
Erika says
Totally agree with you Taboo was such an Awesome Show, I think FX and the Creator’s or the powers of be should definitely not limit this show. Let it be and let the viewers/fan show you how much we love Taboo and all of these Character’s within it. We really enjoyed watching this show unfold as it went on through the Season and was so happy when it was renewed for a 2 nd season. Please do not Limit Taboo right from the beginning..

Are you kidding….then make up a new story…DO NOT STOP after 3 seasons.
Great show, but then I could watch Hardy in anything.
Nick Kitt says
One can only assume that Tom Hardy is way too busy to go beyond three seasons. But I think the story plan is great as is and doesn’t need to continue past three seasons. It is a limited story in so many ways. You just can’t “make up a new one”. Besides, Hardy has two more MAD MAX films to do as well as a slew of bigger projects ahead, so a long continuing series for Hardy is a foregone conclusion.

Nick Kitt-You say: so a long continuing series for Hardy is a foregone conclusion.
3 seasons isn’t s short run is it though- 1 series is unless it is a mini series of course
Nora says
Please don’t end taboo after 3 seasons. There’s obviously so much you can learn about him , what happened in Africa, and his mother and fathèr. There is so much .
Donna says
Unbelievable, why cancel such an outstanding show. They renew stupid stuff, like Bachelors or bachelorettes and cancel something that doesn’t involved stupid people degrading themselves on a reality show. How do you justify programming ideas?
Will says

Someone is watching those crap reality shows plus they are cheap to produce. Sooner or later all free TV will be crap reality shows.
Lynne Satterfield says
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This is such a different premise and something new on tv. PLEASE rethink the three season and out plan!
d. evans says

Maria E Lopez says
I have all the other comments and many I agree with we are feed up with realty shows like Bachelor’s ect we need more interesting suspense deep moving series that make you crave it! as this one does the story is amazing far more desired than many other shows.
please I beg you to think this carefully and hear our plead we do not get these series and when we do they do not renew them I do not understand the teas.
