Starz has decided to cancel Da Vinci’s Demons after Season 3, ruling out a fourth season, EW has confirmed.
Creator and executive producer David S. Goyer said of the decision to bring Da Vinci’s Demons to a close after its upcoming third season later this year:
“While ending Leonardo’s journey is bittersweet for me, I’m happy we’re ending the story on a high note. Leonardo was famous for his mirror-writing, and there’s a symmetry to the entire series—between the first episode and the final one—that I think the maestro would have appreciated. I want to thank our dedicated fans around the world for viewing and engaging with such passion. I want to thank Starz for joining me on this crazy romp. And I want to thank Tom Riley for turning in a consistently brilliant performance. It’s no small feat to portray a genius, but Tom did it with grace and humor. I hope everyone enjoys these final episodes as much as we enjoyed making them.”
Starz Managing Director Carmi Zlotnik said in statement:
“The steadfast fans of Da Vinci’s Demons have been asking about the next installment of this story and we’re excited to roll it out. David Goyer brought us a plan to portray the unknown early years of a genius and we think the fans will enjoy this final chapter which segues into the da Vinci that history knows. [Showrunner] John Shiban has done a tremendous job of building on past seasons and by showing how da Vinci matures as his challenges grow.”
The third and final season of Da Vinci’s Demons premieres Oct. 24 on Starz.
RIP.

I totally agree, I am so sick of the networks canceling these great shows without finishing them. No warning no nothing. I am to the point I want to just tape all the shows or wait until they are on demand and see if they finish them out before I invest the time watching them.

Andi, How have you watched season 3, when it hasn’t aired yet?
It’s scheduled to air on Starz starting Oct 24th 2015. Are you thinking about the ending of Season 2?
It’s a complete shame that these TVv companies have no common sense of what true fans want to see.
Another great show endded before it’s prime. But I’m looking forward to Season 3… 2 months to go!
